08:18 AM ET 01.30 | On Sunday, Bill Self, who along with his team attended Kansas' 28th-annual Wilt Chamberlain Special Olympics Clinic, discussed the scary scene Saturday after the team's loss to Iowa State. Hundreds of students stormed the court after the final horn and, in the process, injured ref Darron George. "After coming off the court, our players were tending to the official, Darron George, who was down. He was in so much pain," Self said. "From what we were told, he broke his arm trying to push people off in the melee." ... The Big 12 said Sunday George "suffered a hand injury" and is OK. Self said he believed fans have stormed the court in about 60 percent of KU's road losses during his nine years at KU.

By 'this' you mean a top 5 team losing on the road? That's harsh.

It may be hard to imagine, but the Hawkeyes could be relevant again someday.

Seems Big 12 officials are gonna have to apply for hazardous duty pay at KU games.
