It was a Patrick Mahomes-esq performance for Kansas State point guard Markquis Nowell on Thursday night as the Wildcats advanced to the Elite 8 with a 98-93 overtime win over Michigan State. Nowell powered through on a twisted ankle to set an NCAA Tournament record with 19 assists in the epic confrontation. Late in the game, with the score tied, Nowell looked to the Kansas State bench and pretended to yell something at coach Jerome Tang. Nowell then threw a no-look ally oop to Keyontae Johnson to give the Cats the lead in what will go down as the play of the tournament so far. Fake arguing with your coach to distract the defense before throwing a half-look pass for a reverse alley-oop to break a 92-92 tie in the final minute of OT in a Sweet 16 game at MSG might be the coolest shit I’ve ever seen pic.twitter.com/10E8CJEvkW— Mike Rutherford (@CardChronicle) March 24, 2023 Facebook Twitter/X Email Post navigation Chiefs WR Scantling goes off on Twitter fans trying to be “GMs” WATCH: K-State fails to get shot off on last possession, FAU advances to Final 4
