Fans disappointed with Kansas State’s final possession in loss to Florida Atlantic
Throughout the NCAA Tournament, the Kansas State men’s basketball team seemed to come up with a big play or shot at just the right time.
But in their 79-76 loss to Florida Atlantic in Saturday night’s Elite Eight game in New York, the Wildcats were unable to conjure up one more big moment.
After the Owls made a pair of free throws, Kansas State had 6.7 seconds to try and tie the game.
Unfortunately for the Wildcats, they couldn’t get in position to attempt a shot, and the game and their season game to an end.

No way that ball should've left Markquis Nowell's hands on that final possession.

Nowell shouldn't have passed the ball. No time to get the ball back.

Just mind blowing on how this game was lost. Second chance points were huge and that final possession should’ve completely began and ended with Nowell
