Nowell, a senior guard, also starred with 30 points, 12 assists, five steals and five 3-pointers in Kansas State’s 79-76 loss to ninth-seeded Florida Atlantic in the Elite Eight.

2. 18 Assists – Mark Wade, UNLV vs. Indiana (March 28, 1987)

No player has amassed more assists in a single NCAA Tournament than Wade in 1987, with the highwater mark coming in UNLV’s loss to eventual champion Indiana in the Final Four. Incredibly, the 5-foot-11 left-hander dished out 18 assists without committing a turnover in the 97-93 defeat, a game that also featured teammate Freddie Banks draining a then-NCAA Tournament record 10 3-pointers.
