Sweet 16 action got underway in the NCAA tournament and just like in the previous rounds of March Madness, there was drama flowing through the first set of games
The Florida Atlantic Owls upset No. 4-seeded Tennessee, 62-55; Markquis Nowell made NCAA history as the Kansas State Wildcats edged out the Michigan State Spartans in overtime to win 98-93; Gonzaga shocked UCLA with a late three to seal a dramatic 79-76 win; while UConn comfortably beat Arkansas 88-65 to advance to the Elite Eight.
The guard, playing in his hometown, stuffed the stat sheet and finished with 20 points, an incredible 19 assists – a new NCAA tournament single game record – and five steals to carry the Wildcats to victory. Nowell, who played the second half with an injured right ankle, is the first player to finish with 20+ points, 19+ assists and 5+ steals in a men’s Division I or NBA game since 1996, according to CBS Sports.
