Struggles in Big 12 Tournament loss Nowell recorded 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-9 3Pt), three rebounds and five assists in 38 minutes during Thursday's 80-67 loss to TCU.
Impact Nowell logged one of his worst statistical showings of the season to go out in the Big 12 Tournament. The 5-foot-8 senior had been largely efficient with a 7.7:2.5 assist-to-turnover ratio heading into Thursday's loss, though he's now averaged 6.4 assists to 4.6 turnovers over the last 11 games. He's also shot just 32.7 percent from the field and 28.6 percent on three-pointers during this span. Nowell will look to clean things up heading into the NCAA Tournament.

Inefficient in double-digit loss Nowell racked up 18 points (5-19 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, four assists and four steals over 39 minutes during Saturday's 71-63 loss to Texas Tech.
Impact Nowell posted logged 18 points for the second consecutive game, though this game in an extremely inefficient outing that included seven turnovers from the 5-foot-8 point guard. The senior has put up massive stats this season with 16.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 2.3 steals while playing 36.2 minutes per game. However, much of his scoring production has come from his consistent ability to get to the charity stripe (5.7 attempts per game), as he's only shot 39 percent from the field and 35.2 percent from beyond the three-point arc. Nowell has now committed 24 turnovers over his last four games, pushing his average up to 3.6 per game on the season. Nevertheless, his massive usage will still make Nowell one of the most prolific fantasy scorers in the entire Big 12.
