MARKQUIS NOWELL NEWS

Star performance in big win Nowell registered 36 points (9-15 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 12-12 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and three steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 116-103 victory over Texas.

Impact Nowell arose to the moment with a season high and a game high in points during this road win over the No. 6 Longhorns. The 5-foot-8 point guard also notched his best three-point shooting performance of the season as well as his second game in a row with double-digit free-throw attempts. Nowell kept up his incredible efficiency as a floor general, logging a 9:1 assist-to-turnover ratio while going up against a pair of stout defensive guards in Marcus Carr and Tyrese Hunter. Nowell's scoring average (15.9), field-goal percentage (40.1) and three-point percentage (35.9) are all at their highest marks since his 2019 campaign with the University of Arkansas-Little Rock. He and Wildcats forward Keyontae Johnson, who put up 28-9-5 against Texas, may need to post another top-tier combined performance to secure another big win versus Baylor on Saturday.

Does it all in OT win Nowell notched 23 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 10-13 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists and seven steals over 43 minutes during Saturday's 82-76 OT win over West Virginia.

Impact Nowell had one of his best outings of the season despite his continued inefficiency as a shooter. The 5-foot-8 point guard tallied at least 10 assists for the fifth time this season while only turning the ball over three times. Nowell also made his presence felt as a pest on the defensive end of the court, and he's now averaged a career-high 2.4 steals over 13 games this season. He also ranks second in the nation with 8.5 assists per game, and he should continue to dish out plenty of good looks to the rest of the Wildcats' starting five, all of whom have shot at least 45 percent from the field so far this season.
