That dunk on Zuby deserves its own thread!

Sick dunk but I would've rather have won the game. Remember Patrick Young's dunk in 2014 championship game and Purdue had a sick dunk in 2024 championship game.

There was one thing I didn't like about it:

The jawing afterwards by Silas was very similar to what Cam Spencer had done (countless times) and was basically telling Zuby (and St John's as a whole) we could stand up to them.

As soon as the players reach midcourt, the refs stepped in, stopped play, and basically erased the emotional boost that play generated.

Didn't know he could do that. Silas usually looks tentative taking layups when he drives, so I did NOT expect him to just go up and throw Zuby on a poster lol

He's been throwing down a few dunks recently. Must be getting more comfortable

 

[Palatine]

Nice dunk. But he was all over the place yesterday. He needs to find a place when he is efficient and under control.

 

[UC0NN]

He had a dunk last year as well that was amazing. If not for that, I would have been shocked last night.

"Who cares about a dunk I wanted to win" yeahhhhh we all did, so did Silas. It was an awesome play at a big moment and deserves praise.

Beautiful dunk. However, when he is on the right side of the floor just over half court line. He consistently relaxes as he gets ready to put the ball down heading left with his left hand. His judgement on distance between the defender and the ball is off. Last night was not the first turnover like this. And his first dribble is weak. Not defending the ball.

Except I didn't say who cares, I said sick dunk so I acknowledged that then I proceeded to say I would rather have won.

Sick dunk but…yes, we get it. They lost. You’re not the only one, it’s a common theme around here.

Sure UK 2014 UK is good with the Patrick Young dunk and 2024 Purdue with the Cameron Heide dunk banner. I'm sure they wouldn't trade trade places with us.

I'm a Yankees fan and I will acknowledge an Aaron Judge 500 foot bomb but not glorify it in a loss same reason as a Giants fan that I don't glorify Odell Beckhams sick catch against the Cowboys in a loss, so ya you acknowledge sick plays in a loss then you move on. Theres a reason David Tyree catch gets glorified, gee I wonder why.


Sick dunk people have acknowledged that what more do you want.

I think we needed that dunk we we looked dead in the water, unfortunately we needed a lot more then that but I do like that it got the team fired up going forward especially against St John's.

Another doozy of a take from you. Usually under control. Smith needs to be better so Silas isn’t exhausted especially against a team like that.

Yes, I believe we should hang a banner. That’s precisely what I meant.
