In the midst of one of the greatest performances in men’s NCAA tournament history, one play caused waves as the signature moment.
With less than a minute left in overtime and the teams knotted at 92, Kansas State senior point guard Markquis Nowell was headed toward a record-setting performance. From just inside the center court logo, the senior point guard threw a lob that was sent home for a reverse dunk by a cutting Keyontae Johnson.
Just seconds prior to the pass, Nowell appeared to be arguing with head coach Jerome Tang. Some on social media believed that it was an intentional move designed to lull the Spartan defenders to sleep.
