The constant weaving through the Michigan State defense like a cab driver through New York City traffic, the passes to cutting teammates that nobody else in Madison Square Garden could see coming.

Nowell's performance against Michigan State brought back memories of Walker's run through the 2014 NCAA tournament leading UConn to the national title.

There was the sequence that immediately followed Nowell's return from injury: A 3-pointer while falling down to beat the shot clock buzzer, knocking the ball away from Malik Hall on a dunk attempt and assisting an easy basket at the other end for Cam Carter.

And there was the defining play of Kansas State's win, an alley-oop pass to a cutting Keyontae Johnson, who finished with a reverse dunk to give the Wildcats a 94-92 lead they wouldn't relinquish.

After testing out his ankle for a couple minutes on the sideline and watching Michigan State go on a 9-2 run, Nowell walked straight to the scorer's table to check back into the game with 13:11 remaining.

On Wednesday, Tang said Nowell opting to return to Kansas State after last spring's coaching change was crucial in the Wildcats' successful first season under his watch.
