Nowell wanted him to shoot so much that he tried to set him up with a look from his favorite spot on the court. Nowell wanted to be a decoy so Massoud could be the hero, just like he was during recent wins over Kentucky and Michigan State. Markquis told me to be ready to shoot and I got the ball. I should have just shot the ball. He told his teammate to be ready and turned down a screen from Massoud as he crossed midcourt. Florida Atlantic advanced to the Final Four with a 79-76 victory.

FAU will head to Houston to play the winner of Sunday's South Region final between Creighton and San Diego State.

As the Owls built their lead in the final minutes, Kansas State fans who had packed the building became anxiously quiet and the “F-A-U!” chants started to rise. FAU didn’t even have a basketball program until the late 1980s and has only been in Division I for the last 30 years. The senior made both to make it a three-point game. The winningest team in Division I this season had never won an NCAA Tournament game before ripping off four in a row, all by single digits, to become the first No. And they closed out hard to him, and he didn’t get his shot off.” In one of the most unpredictable NCAA Tournaments ever — all four No.

Florida Atlantic's Cinderella run lives on. The No. 9 Florida Atlantic Owls upset the No. 3 Kansas State Wildcats 79-76 on Saturday night in Elite Eight…

Prior to this year's tournament, FAU hadn't reached the NCAA tournament since the 2001-02 season, when they fell in the first round.

This is what makes the tournament great. #FAU in the Final Four! If you think FAU making the Final Four is bad for college basketball, you're wrong. 1st year in program history winning a single game in the NCAA-T and they get THIS FAR!? Plus, no matter what happens you can't say they don't belong there when they have the more wins than anybody else this season. All you hear about in Florida are the "Big 3" schools: Miami, Florida, Florida State. This is why sports is the national drug.

You'll always see those teams repped at school and in the aisles at Publix, but RARELY will you see love for the FAU Owls.

What a team. This tourney rocks. 9 Florida Atlantic Owls upset the No. The No.

Markquis Nowell expanded his legend in defeat, winning the East Region's Most Outstanding Player award by delivering 30 points and 12 assists.

On the signature play of the tournament, Nowell showed off his vision and passing skill, which his coach, Jerome Tang, compared to that of Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers. “I feel like I gave my heart and soul to this game these past couple of games,” Nowell said Saturday night. Nowell lost on the scoreboard and won everywhere else, showing undersized underdogs everywhere that heart is far more impactful than height. Nowell remembered that Massoud hits most of his 3-pointers from the right side, and wanted to give his teammate his best chance at success. But even in defeat, Nowell made a lasting impression on those who believe the sport can be dominated only by players of a certain height and length. He still has a ways to go to get there, but that isn’t the point.

"He's like a father figure to me. Crazy faith (and) being optimistic about everything," Nowell said of Tang.

"I'm just truly blessed and grateful," said Nowell, who completed a memorable weekend in his hometown with 30 points and 12 assists against FAU. 3 NCAA Tournament seed — Nowell and Johnson credited Tang and K-State for bringing out the best in them as well.
