K-State is coached by everyone's favorite, Bruce Weber, who is 81-55 in his fifth season in Manhattan. Weber is 404-210 in 19 seasons, with previous stops at Southern Illinois and Illinois. Weber is 2-9 all-time against KU.
Bill Self is 27-5 all-time vs K-State; including 26-5 while at Kansas.
KU is 191-93 vs K-State all-time, a winning percentage 67.3%. Additionally, KU has won 52 of the last 57 meetings vs K-State. So if we do the math and take out the last 23 years, that means KU was only 139-88 against K-State, a winning percentage of 61.2%. So yeah, I guess technically, the series was "basically even" back in the day. Whatever helps you sleep at night, Willie.
