"It was about as good as I could imagine," Carey said. "It hasn't quite hit me yet that I won't step out on the floor here to play again except for practice. I'll probably be pretty upset when it does hit me."
The Jayhawk seniors were honored before the game with a shower of flowers given to them by fans. After the game, the team was presented with the Big 12 championship trophy, and the seniors received the chance to thank those who had helped them throughout their college basketball careers.
A majority of the 16,300 fans in attendance stayed to listen to the seniors' speeches, even though the post-game festivities lasted more than 50 minutes.

"I got a little bit of grief from guys in the locker room about starting out the long speeches," said Zerbe, who was the third player to speak. "The first couple of speeches were pretty quick, but mine was about seven or eight minutes."
Senior forward Todd Kappelmann looks to evade Kansas State's defense. Kappelmann played his final game at Allen Fieldhouse last night.
Kansas still has one regular season game remaining — on the road against Missouri. Carey said no matter how the Jayhawks close out their season, he will still be proud about what he and his teammates have accomplished this year.
"We just need to go out play and we'll make it a long way."
Carey said. "Life sometimes throws you a curve ball. That's why I don't take anything for granted."
