NEW YORK—Picture this: Your team’s up a few points with time ticking down. You know the opponent is about to foul, and they know that you know they’re going to foul. Your best free throw shooters are on the floor and it’s time to ice the basketball game and get out of the building with a victory. For Kansas State and FAU, that means it can be time to play football.
That’s what the Wildcats did to inbound the ball to guard Markquis Nowell late in their second-round win over Kentucky.
