The No. 3 Kansas State Wildcats have given us some of the best basketball games in the 2023 NCAA Tournament. Markquis Nowell gave us some of the best point guard play in history on Thursday night in the Sweet 16 vs. the No. 7 Michigan State Spartans at Madison Square Garden. Michigan State was able to come back and force OT vs. the Wildcats. K-State would go on to have the last laugh, particularly Nowell, who broke the record for most assists in an NCAA Tournament game with 19. His 18th assist was on this beautiful alley-oop pass to Keyontae Johnson.
