Game-high 23 points Nowell produced 23 points (5-12 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 9-10 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 68-58 win over Texas Tech. Impact Nowell led all scorers during this relatively quiet scoring performance for Wildcats forward Keyontae Johnson (3-7 FG, 1-1 3FG, 8-10 FT). The 5-foot-8 point guard also grabbed a season-high eight rebounds. Nowell found a way to get back to the charity stripe again, as he'd attempted just five over the past three contests after putting up 12.7 per game through Kansas State's first three Big 12 matchups. Whether he's getting to the line or not, Nowell's 11.5 field-goal attempts combined with his team-leading 6.2 three-point tries per game should continue to net him prolific scoring to go along with his 8.2 assists per contest, which ranks second in the nation.
