We’re in the middle of the NCAA Tournament and we just had one of the best games of the contest so far.
Kansas State was able to overcome Kentucky in the battle of the Wildcats. However, all of the attention is on point guard Markquis Nowell.
Nowell had an amazing performance to help lead Kansas State to the Sweet 16. With flashy passes and clutch shots, pretty much everyone was in awe of the star point guard.

The Wildcats might just be in good hands, as Nowell proved to be the difference maker. If he keeps playing like that, this team could make a real run at the championship.
With that said, the internet was surely flabbergasted by the Kansas State point guard. Oh yeah, did we mention he’s only 5’8″?
This 5"8 guard named Markquis Nowell from @KStateMBB just put on a CLINIC on how to play the PG position, while dropping 27 points & 9 assists, in a win over Kentucky#MarchMadness https://t.co/627ROwLVzl

We have a Final Four prediction for Kansas State!
Everyone talks about guard play in the big dance. Markquis Nowell just proved it. Kansas St is going to the Final 4. He is so fun to watch.

The Wildcats will have a fighting chance as long as Nowell plays like this. Look for Kansas State to remain red hot no matter who they play next.
