ku was ranked #1 all year and their only loss had been at Mizzou. Paul Pierce and company. Mizzou was having a losing season in one of Norm's last years and was having trouble even filling the Hearnes Center because of the struggles. So naturally when Mizzou made a surprise run in KC to the Big 12 title game, the ku fans who expected to be there were the overwhelming majority.
Mizzou fans would do the "booooooo!" of Ryan Robertson the traitor any time he touched the ball.
The large ku majority wasn't having it and started a much louder "BOOOOOOOOO!" any time Jason Sutherland touched the ball. Even for people who weren't there, just on television alone the volume of the ku "BOOOOOOOO!" was blatantly way louder than the Mizzou "booooo!"
