Nowell was not only part of 64 of the Kansas State’s 98 points (scored 20 points and set up 44 points on his 19 assists), he also finished with more assists than the entire Spartans team (18).
Incredible feat in an astounding game. Best by far of this March Madness and maybe a decade of others.
Now if Texas can beat Xavier on Friday that would give the Big 12 TWO teams in the Elite Eight and they can't meet till the national title game. That hasn't happened since 1988, when Oklahoma and Kansas met in the national title game. It was the Big Eight and the Big 12 is just a renamed Big Eight. So Big 8/12 would do it twice in 35 years!!! In 1985, the Big East's Villanova and Georgetown met in the title game.
