The fracs began when Iowa State junior forward/center Jackson Vroman earned his fifth foul, bumping Simien. Vroman then appeared to grab for Simien's right shoulder. He hadn't played since injuring his shoulder against the University of Missouri-Kansas City Jan. 4.
Simien spun around to face Vroman only to meet the Cyclones 6-foot-9,245 pound sophomore center Jared Homan. While he held Simien, Miles shoved Homan in the head, earning him a technical foul.
"If my little brother got into a scuffle, I'd help him," Miles said of his involvement. "Wayne is like my brother."
Coach Roy Williams restraints sophomore forward Wayne Simien after Iowa State's Jackson Vroman pushed Simien in the second half. Simien returned to the Jayhawks' lineup early in the first half after missing 11 games. Vroman fouled out and recorded a sixth foul with a technical for pushing Simien.
Vroman was also assessed the fourth technical of the day. Eustachy earned two for arguing a traveling call on Vroman a minute early.
Miles and Simien shook hands and exchanged apologies with Vroman after the game, and Simien told reporters that on-the-court fights were foolish.
"If he wants to meet me in a dark alley, I'd be all for that," Simien said. "But nobody
wants to get in a fight on the basketball court."
Simien survived the incident and another hard foul without major shoulder problems, he said. He scored 7 points with seven rebounds in 18 minutes.

"To have all of these guys come back and be a part of this family it's just something you can't even describe in normal terms," Stallworth said.
Yesterday marked the fourth time during Kansas coach Roy William's 15 year tenure that Williams invited all former Jayhawk players and coaches back for a weekend of stories and remembrance of the history of Kansas basketball.
After attending a banquet Saturday night, the former players and coaches took the court and were all introduced at halftime by radio announcer Max Falkenstien.
During the game, the group sat behind the basket in the south end of the Fieldhouse and watched the current Jayhawks win their 19th game of the year and take sole possession of first-place in the Big 12 Conference.
Dave Robish, who played at Kansas from 1969-71 and led the Jayhawks to the Final Four in 1971 in Houston, came away impressed with Kansas' play
"They're in first place in the Big 12 right now," Robish said. "The NCAAs, they're always there and hopefully they can get a good seed and make a big run."
Born said he attended the reunion this weekend because all of the players and coaches would always be a part of the tradition no matter how many years removed they were from their playing days at Kansas.
B. H. Born was one of the players who received the most cheers from the crowd for his role in the 1952 national championship team and the national runner-up 1953 squad.
Jayhawk junior forward Jeff Graves had a different view about Kansas' performance in front of former players and coaches against the Cyclones in a physical game that featured 41 fouls.
"It was kind of embarrassing in the first half," Graves said. "But we survived it and played
Before the game yesterday, Raef LaFrentz's no. 45 jersey was retired in the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse, LaFrentz, who played for Kansas from 1995-98, was a consensus All-America in 1997 and 1998.
During his senior season in 1998, LaFrentz teamed with Paul Pierce and was named Big 12 player of the year. Williams told the crowd during the ceremony he has never worked harder to recruit a player than LaFrentz.
better in the second half
"There's so much tradition here," Robish said. "You talk about North Carolina, Kentucky and UCLA and all of the success, but I think as far as tradition goes and knowing the history of the game with all the players who played here, Kansas is second to none to those other programs." Note:

points along with 12 rebounds. Ransburg was also a terror on defense with four blocked shots and four steals. For Ransburg, individual success took a backseat to the disappointment of another conference loss.
"I am not really excited. I just wanted the team to come out and play," Ransburg said. "It isn't about individuals, it's about the team."
production early in the season. She said avoiding fouls early in games was key to the turnaround.
"I feel that if I am in foul trouble, I won't be able to do anything for the team and provide for them," Ransburg said.
Ransburg had been in a slump of sorts after leading the team in
Sophomore guard Blair Waltz was the only other Jayhawk to score in double figures, going 5-for-13 from the field and ending with 10 points. Waltz's offensive production had been down as of late while she suffered from back pain. Saturday was her first game in double figures since scoring 10 against Oklahoma on Jan. 22.
Kansas will head back on the road to meet Nebraska Wednesday night, looking to snap a fourgame losing streak. The team will head into the game with confidence, as its last victory was against Nebraska on Jan. 29.
"If you saw the game here, you know they are very physical," Washington said. "It's a game that we will go in there with a lot of confidence. I think if we can keep playing defensively the way we are playing right now, we will have a shot at them on the road."
