With the back-and-forth matchup knotted at 92 with just under a minute to play in overtime, Nowell unleashed his finest pass in a night filled jaw-dropping assists.
Just a few feet past half-court and with both feet firmly inside the logo, Nowell immediately saw Keyontae Johnson beat his defender on a backdoor cut to the rim from the right corner.
Hardly even looking in Johnson’s direction, Nowell launched an alley-oop towards the rim, perfectly placed to meet a leaping Johnson in the air. As Johnson caught the pass mid-flight, he contorted his body to turn the alley-oop into a reverse dunk. Johnson was facing the Kansas State bench as he completed the dunk backwards over his head, which promptly erupted in celebration.After taking the lead on the play, Kansas State led the rest of the way.
Nowell, a senior, is in his second season with the Wildcats after transferring from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.Nowell added 20 points and five steals to his historic night.
