March Madness turned into soccer for a brief moment

You don’t play basketball with your feet.

Kansas State and Wake Forest are playing the late game of the NCAA tournament First Four round’s opening night, and so far it’s been a tight, back-and-forth affair. With a little over six minutes remaining in the first half, Kansas State point guard Kamau Stokes brought the ball up the floor and passed to teammate Xavier Sneed.

That didn’t go well, as Stokes’ pass was outrageously inaccurate and bounced off Sneed’s foot. The ball then rolled off back toward the Wildcats’ hoop, where Stokes recovered it, thus completing the over-and-back violation. The result of the sequence was a Kansas State turnover.

Kansas State led at halftime, 40-36. The winner of Tuesday’s 11-11 matchup will meet No. 6 Cincinnati later this week.
