Talk about a heartbreaker. I really thought Michigan State was going to pull this one off. Tom Izzo and the Spartans took on Kansas State on Thursday (March 23), and the game went into OT.

Both teams were on point, but in the end, Markquis Nowell helped take his Kansas State team to a victory. He actually broke the NCAA Tournament record for assists in a game with 19, his last two on passes in the final minute of overtime.
