A collection of pictures and quotes from last night's game in Manhattan. History was made as the Cats snapped a home losing streak to the Jayhawks dating back to 1983.
Michael Beasley takes on the World's ugliest man
Bill Walker throws it down
From a closer angle
Russel Robinson an alien? I must admit, the similarities are eery.
Coach Martin has time to crack a wry smile
Mario Chalmers does his best Britney Spears impersonation

The maestro
"The Streak" has finally been laid to rest
They Said It...
“From the tip, we showed we weren’t going to back down and let them do what they wanted to do.” - Bill Walker
''People act like there's just one team in Kansas and we had a chance to show there isn't. It was a big win. I'm tired. I can't think right now.'' - Bill Walker
"For us to be able to provide relief from that Streak to our people at Kansas State, I'm proud of our guys for doing that. For me, I'm just happy we were able to beat these guys." - Frank Martin
“I knew my team was capable of beating anybody. We showed that tonight.” - Michael Beasley
"After 25 years, I would have rushed the court too." - Jacob Pullen
“K-State was just a better team than we were tonight. You could say offensively or defensively. Pullen was terrific, their defense was good but we still shot an excellent percentage. We got fed up though. It was one of those atmospheres where that could easily occur. I don’t know if you can pinpoint one thing other than, of the 50-50 balls they got 70 to 80 percent of them. They scored an awful lot off of loose balls and that is something we are usually pretty good at but we weren’t tonight.” - Bill Self
"You’ve got to give K-State credit. Saying that we were bad tonight would take away from how well they performed. I don’t think we were good but I think they were a big reason why.” - Bill Self
"Ironically, this was the type of win Kansas State hired Bob Huggins to get, but it was Frank Martin, his former assistant, who delivered the goods. In a fitting tribute to their former coach, the Wildcats looked like a vintage Huggins team Wednesday: relentless, physical, determined and ultimately quite successful. " - Andy Glockner (ESPN.com)
"This game will send a message throughout the land." - Dave Armstrong
