ESPN mistakenly used KU’s logo next to K-State on a graphic
Hey, we’re all a little groggy this morning because of Daylight Savings Time.
But poor ESPN made a mistake on a graphic that upset basketball fans in the Sunflower State. During a discussion of the NCAA Tournament field, the Wildcats were one of the final four predicted to be in the Big Dance.
There was one problem with the graphic:

Naturally, there was a mixed reaction to the gaffe that ranged from upset fans of both schools to bemusement.
I used to think the K-State logo was just a bunch of weird geometric shapes but WOW does it look good this morning!! pic.twitter.com/IH1e4Y0zUQ

I guess ESPN doesn't know the difference between KU and KSU. pic.twitter.com/zX0x4EHgVt
