ATLANTA Social media was buzzing late Thursday night following Kansas State's 61-58 win over Kentucky in the Sweet 16 after some K-State players were miffed because some of Kentucky's team exited the court before shaking their hands after the game.

"They didn't shake our hands," K-State's Amaad Wainright told ESPN's Alex Scarborough. "It's sorry ... They know what they did."

CBS cameras showed Kansas State coach Bruce Weber and two assistants immediately walk over to shake hands with Kentucky coach John Calipari and Kentucky's players before cutting away. What happened next left K-State's players upset.

A jerk and a liar.
Those losers blew off the winning team plain and simple.
They should be prevented from attending next years tournament regardless of their record. That would solve that kind of crap!!!

Sorry, fake news. (ESPN) Video evidence already posted, of UK players shaking hands with K-State coaching staff. Issue was K-State players stayed out on the floor celebrating and did not come over to the handshake line. So if anything, the issue was on K-State players side. But hey, they were celebrating. So basically this is a big nothing. Just ESPN and more fake news.

All this is true. I saw it live. The only thing is that UK players walked off the floor fairly quickly. It wasn’t like they stayed out there for more than 30-45 seconds. I didn’t time it but I’d be surprised if it was even a minute.

Evaluate that and make your own decision.

“Calipari is jerk.”

No wonder Ashley Judd is their #1 fan.

John Calipari: "My team is not like that; neither is our program."

The whole incident is a non-event.

What I find funny is Calipari trying to take the moral high ground. Every college basketball fan knows of Kentucky's sordid history. Any program that would hire Calipari, Pitrino, Sutton, and the long line of sleazy coaches before that has a pretty poor moral foundation to stand on.

Those playahs are one-and-dones, and they know they’re ex-Kentucky ballers. Probably had to get back to the locker room to sign with their agents and declare themselves for the draft.
