Markquis Nowell was having himself a night at the World’s Most Famous Arena. He’s taking some bad shots, but he’s come up big with clutch baskets and great playmaking
Having himself a tournament. He had 17 points and 14 assists in the first round, 27 points and 9 assists in the second round, and now 20 points, 5 steals, and 19 assists in the third round. 64 points and 42 assists in three games.
Maybe a few questionable shots, but with the way he plays Tang we’ll take the bomb as he has a decent shot at making them. With a player like Nowell, you take the bad with the good, and most nights that’s worth it.
Markquis Nowell is a March madness legend forever, bro is turning into kemba walker in that insane UConn championship run, I wouldn’t be shocked if k-state wins it all this year bc of him, keyonte, massoud and their coach
I can't help but think of Spud Webb - 5' 7" player who won the NBA slam dunk contest in 1986. He had a good NBA career - maybe Nowell is next. I was torn between admiration and wanting to puke when (injured) he made that RIDICULOUS off balance 3-pointer just before the shot clock expired. I never like to see any of these kids get hurt, but I have to confess, there was a part of me that wished that ankle injury was worse - shame on me, but I am only human - not sure Nowell is - that was superhuman.
@@Hunnidband_nazzzy you see what Arkansas did tonight against UConn? You know the team Kansas lost to in the second round… talk about losing to a mediocre team
From a lifelong Spartan - very well played guys! This one hurt, but I have spent a fair amount of time in "the Little Apple" years ago, and if we had to lose, I can't think of a team I'd rather lose to. Now go win it ALL!
Here are some of the feel-good storylines for this year's K-State team: -Keyontae Johnson's return to the court -Markquis Nowell playing out of his mind as a massively undersized 5'8" point guard -This is Jerome Tang's first year not only as head coach of the Cats, but his first year as an HC anywhere -The team brought in ELEVEN new players after being down to just Nowell and Massoud from last year's roster -The team was picked to finish LAST PLACE in the Big 12 this season They feel like the team of destiny in this year's tournament.
@@OMW2FYB1010 wasn't travel. the ball wasn't secured in his hands until a moment after he took the first of what looks like 3 steps. Which is why he shot off of one foot and not two.
Kansas St has one beautiful PASS & ASSIST GAME!! CONGRATULATIONS on a well coached & played game. GOOD LUCK IN THE ELITE 8. ( This is coming from a JAYHAWKS FAN)
@@jamesfox5105 idk man. Way back when k-state was in the 2012 NCAA tournament in Pittsburgh (before losing to Syracuse in 2nd round) we had some interactions with Ohio State and MSU folks who were also playing in the same region. Both of those fanbases were pretty chill- Syracuse fans...not so much
@@That1PlaceBehindTheBushEh. MSU fans are really hit or miss. They didn’t have expectations this tourney so they were laid back. OSU fans are more brutal when it comes to football, bunch of A-Holes then lol
Geez! I thought that Gonzaga vs UCLA from a couple years ago was the greatest March Madness game I’ve ever seen. What a game! That was an absolutely insane game, congrats Kansas State!!
I’m not a Kansas State or Michigan State fan, but I appreciate sports & this game was BEAUTIFUL. This is sports!! I’ve rewatched this game >5 times. Kudos to both teams. Kansas state was mesmerizing.
What a show. Michigan St was lights-out from 3. And so consistent from the stripe… This win was more than Nowell & KJ. Carter had the best game I’ve seen from him all season. Massoud was definition clutch. Sills playing hard as always when we need momentum. Ngessan made some big time put-backs. Tomlin was passing dimes. Tang and the coaching staff letting these players be themselves.… and only 5 TURNOVERS. I’m so grateful as a KSU alum to watch the harmony. Love this team and proud no matter how far they go
Nowell has to be one of the best pure pgs I've seen in awhile. Really comparable to a cp3 or a nash. You don't see many people who can really get the whole team involved and have a double double with assists from the PG. I'm rooting for them
Good game KSU! You have a great chance at winning the whole thing! Make us MSU fans proud! Even though my team lost, that was truly a nerve-wracking and fun game to watch. Best game of the tournament so far!
As a diehard Spartan fan this was one of the best games to ever witness and last night I was sad, disappointed and heartbroken I don’t even care about Basketball anymore but I will be rooting for Kansas State they are special especially with Nowell and Keyontae Johnson good luck y’all
Markquis Nowell had 17 points and 14 assists in the first round, 27 points and 9 assists in the second round, and now 20 points, 5 steals, and 19 assists in the third round. 64 points and 42 assists in three games.
What a beautiful ending to this game. Came down to the last seconds, ending with a steal and a layup that felt like a grand finale to a rollercoaster of a game. And what a great call by Brian Anderson at the end there to really capture the emotion and intensity inside the arena. That is why he is calling tournament games.
As a 7th seed Michigan State gave Kansas State all they could handle. They went much farther than most thought they would. Congratulations to Kansas State.
Kansas State’s assist / passing game is elite. When you think you are on top them they make some crazy pass to score. Michigan State played so well, but it is so hard to contain K-State.
I have never seen anything like that. The entirety of the first half highlights for KSU is him making shots and dropping straight dimes on ppl. Go get it yung man
K-State has been coming out and having a good time playing. Their coach is awesome and got those kids pumped up despite how slowly they started the season. I can actually see them winning it all.
CONGRATS BOYS KANSAS STATE FAN ALL THE WAY !!! Nowell is an amazing player especially with tomlin and johnson. ive went to middle school with tomlin and i see he still got his moves. SO PROUD OF HIM.
Over here on this side of the pond I forgot about the start of the Madness and this was the first full game I watched , lucky me !!! Great game from the little fella ! On the same day in the morning watched the Parramatta Eels overtime win over Penrith in the NRL and that was a wild finish too ! Sport everywhere 👍
13:44 The wherewithal to be talking to your coach and still see that pass was amazing! That coach must be amazing! I played for a coach in high school that even if you did make that play he would’ve yelled at you for not finishing the conversation and listening to him first. 🤦♂️
#3 Kansas State will face the winner of Florida Atlantic-Tennessee on Saturday at New York for the East Region. It’s their first Elite 8 Appearance since 2018
Nowell has got to be the best in the country at creating inside scoring opportunities for his teammates. He's a passing wizard!
Game of the tournament so far!
The backdoor lob late sums up this KSU team perfectly. So entertaining how they play with so much flair
Kansas st national champs, watch
100% so fun to watch.
@@markrichardson1657 It'll be sweet to see Bama vs K-State in the Final 4😉
@@sherrymarcell5235 Are we forgetting about FAU? The team Tennesse overlooked? Not saying they’ll win for sure but don’t count them out just yet 😉
Nowell's passing ability is out of this world. Wow!!?
This is one of the greatest college basketball games ever played

I agree totally
Yup, can definitely see K-State going all the way. They're playing so tough and so together. Great basketball!
Massoud made 2 clutch shots
it would be peak msu if they lost in overtime by one possession to the eventual national champions

Instant classic. One of the most stressful games I have ever watched. Go cats.
More stressful than the KState vs Xavier 2010 game?
EMAW
Y’all got lucky it was against a mediocre team. I won’t be surprised if y’all get blown out in the final four.

Great names and great game. So much individual skill. Watch out for this Nowell kid. Brilliant point guard
Will he make the NBA?
Markquis Nowell is a beast played through an injury and still balled out just absolutely insane 💯
Here are some of the feel-good storylines for this year's K-State team:
-Keyontae Johnson's return to the court
-Markquis Nowell playing out of his mind as a massively undersized 5'8" point guard
-This is Jerome Tang's first year not only as head coach of the Cats, but his first year as an HC anywhere
-The team brought in ELEVEN new players after being down to just Nowell and Massoud from last year's roster
-The team was picked to finish LAST PLACE in the Big 12 this season
They feel like the team of destiny in this year's tournament.
Marquis Nowell is unreal !!!! I mean that 3point shot he made after the steal was crazy
was a travel though
Yeah the refs idk how they did not call that
shouldn't have counted, travel
@@OMW2FYB1010 wasn't travel. the ball wasn't secured in his hands until a moment after he took the first of what looks like 3 steps. Which is why he shot off of one foot and not two.
some luck too
Nowell is the best player of this march madness rn! My guy is the ncaa POINT GOD
I think they'll do it all too
Mr New York City
First starting watching Kansas St in the tournament. One of the most fun teams to ever watch!
Kansas St has one beautiful PASS & ASSIST GAME!!
CONGRATULATIONS on a well coached & played game.
GOOD LUCK IN THE ELITE 8.

All hats off to K State. I'm very proud of my Spartans and already can't wait for next season. What a tournament
Thanks for the kind words. Good luck to you guys next season.
One of the best NCAA games ever!!
K-State we are so very proud of the teams athletic ability to stay focused to the end!❤❤❤
I love the respect from the msu fans. Two very classy fanbases.

Kansas State is never out of it, especially with Markquis Nowell as their spark plug
Do you even know what a spark plug is? Lol he’s definitely not their spark plug
My 👀 tell me he's the best guard in the country. I've seen enough and it's not close. The young man has that IT thing.
@@TAllen586 You don't think he provides a spark to their offense?
@@TAllen586are you slow?

Nah that game still the best to me 😂. Joint was unreal
Cant stop watching these highlights 🔥🔥😮💨😮💨
Dime after dime for Nowell! Sheeesh
As an MSU fan revisiting this one a year later, I still can't believe how close this game was
Incredible game. This is college basketball at its very best. Congratulations K-State and MSU -- wow!
I’m not a Kansas State or Michigan State fan, but I appreciate sports & this game was BEAUTIFUL. This is sports!!
I’ve rewatched this game >5 times. Kudos to both teams. Kansas state was mesmerizing.
13:41 that’s the most creative backdoor play ever. That’s smart of them to think outside the box
game of smarts
Nowell and the coach faked them out acting like they were arguing I wondered if they drew that up during a timeout
oh my Kansas State... you guys are absoulte legends... amazing game...

Nowell is a literal dime god
Hauser gotta take that final shot that’s him all day
Dude couldn’t miss. I don’t understand why he didn’t just take it.

Big Michigan fan here pulling for Michigan State. What a game this was! Would love to see Kansas State go all the way. They played great in this one.
Good game KSU! You have a great chance at winning the whole thing! Make us MSU fans proud! Even though my team lost, that was truly a nerve-wracking and fun game to watch. Best game of the tournament so far!
I think ucla vs gonzaga just beat this for best game of the tournament
you see it too
As a K-State fan I can agree that this was one of the most stressful games of my life
@@mr.nobody8181 Still take this one. Tremendous shooting...both teams
Thanks! 👍
From a kentucky fan much respect to Kansas state.. yall got u a great PG
Straight up classic!!!!!!
This was simply one of the greatest games in NCAA tournament history.
MSU great season. They always fight hard in the tournament. A izzo coached team always has a chance. Much respect from a wolverines fan
Fantastic game. Shame someone has to go home. Both squads worthy of advancing. Impressive stuff on both sides.
Passing in this game was outta this world.
This was the best game of the tournament by far it’s not even close
Hopefully BAMA vs K-State for the Natty😉
I thought the Zaga game for a second until I watched this. What. A. Game.
As a diehard Spartan fan this was one of the best games to ever witness and last night I was sad, disappointed and heartbroken I don’t even care about Basketball anymore but I will be rooting for Kansas State they are special especially with Nowell and Keyontae Johnson good luck y’all
That was an incredible game! Definitely going down as a classic. Much respect to the Spartans. The MSU fan base is very classy.
MARKQUIS NOWELL IS MUST SEE TV. NUFF SAID
Great game. That Nowell is a special player. I don't think he was even tired.
During their game against Kentucky, I heard the commentators say Nowell had some practices with Kyrie Irving.😊
Nowell is the type of guard you want as a teammate WE>ME 💯
My favorite part is he has the most ME plays ever but his WE plays are so frequent and impressive you have to just let him get away with it
Nowell is a little cuy having a heck of a game well deserve representing his school n reflect himself for the NBA scout.that kid has got a heart.
Markquis Nowell had 17 points and 14 assists in the first round, 27 points and 9 assists in the second round, and now 20 points, 5 steals, and 19 assists in the third round. 64 points and 42 assists in three games.

Incredible game
Not enough people are talking about this shot 7:35
That's a FUN Team To Watch!!! soooo glad they pulled it out & won it! ;
Real PG's make the game enjoyable!
Great tournament game to watch
Nowell is the MVP of the tournament.

One of the best basketball games I've seen...great playing all around....go K-State!
So proud of my spartans after everything we've been through 💚
Good game from a ksu fan
What have they been through?
@@kintave2171 there was a school shooting at mich state a couple months ago that left 3 dead and 4 injured. stay humble tho
Lol. Dude spoke to the coach then threw the lob for a dunk like it was designed.

Looked like nobody wanted to take the last shot for MSU.
K-State has been coming out and having a good time playing. Their coach is awesome and got those kids pumped up despite how slowly they started the season. I can actually see them winning it all.
Yes because 15-1 is a slow start to the season 😂
Turns out the smallest guy on the court has the biggest heart. Great game!

Kansas St deserve to win that game no lie, from start to finish . Any NBA team would love to a player like that on they're team.
Kansas State advances to the Elite 8 for the first time since 2018.
And has a chance to make the Final Four for the first time since 1964
I can see them winning the next game easily

to not got a shot off on the last possession must be a nightmare to have engrained in ur memory. Last possession always tough to get an open look
Man how many times was MSU out of control driving to the basket and then throw it up and get the and 1... what a game!!

Nowell simply dominated that game.
Unbelievable game
Nowell is fkn electric. The drawn up alley/fake argument with the coach was IQ through the roof
THat o.t Nowell arguing with the coach for which play to run , distraction play was elite ^_^ for the alley up backwards jAMMM
This Kid Nowell has that NYC Swag! Smallest guy on the floor came up the biggest!!
0:47 tough move🔥
