Yahoo Sports college basketball writer Krysten Peek takes you through 3-seed Kansas State’s impressive overtime win over 7-seed Michigan State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
NEW YORK — Kansas State star Markquis Nowell grew up on 109th Street and Lexington Avenue in Harlem, a short subway ride from Madison Square Garden, but Thursday night marked the first time he played in basketball’s mecca.
And, with all due respect to tournament Cinderella Princeton, Nowell used his Garden debut to author the fairy tale of March — so far.
“Today was a special one, man,” Nowell said after Kansas State's jaw-dropping 98-93 overtime victory against Michigan State in the Sweet 16 round of the men's NCAA tournament.
