The Daily Hoosier Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 For those not on Twitter, the IU program is holding a 24 dunk tournament. You can watch the first round and see the bracket here: https://www.thedailyhoosier.com/the-greatest-dunk-in-iu-basketball-history-you-decide/ Is there a dunk you think they are missing? Which is your favorite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 My early guess is going to have a final of Vic (Kentucky Dunk) vs Marco (Duke Dunk)....although the OG dunk vs Michigan St is severely underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone commented on my site, think of the uproar if the best IU dunk of all-time was a missed dunk. Probably best to just let that one go.

rogue3542 Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 My vote goes to Pritchard. Buckner's call definitely helps it, too. It literally rendered him speechless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Period. The fact that one of the best shooters in the history of IU threw a pass that that would have made the worst qb in IU history go 😱 is what made it so impressive!!! If Hulls keeps that pass in Monroe County its still awesome, but it wouldnt have had the same H@!% S#*+ factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So would the greatest wins include games when we lost by a point or the last second shot almost went in? Don't get me wrong, I love that play, but he didn't make it, so it can't be the greatest dunk of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoHoosier Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 The standoff that stands out to me is J. Morgan vs T. Williams. Troy Williams' dunk was a display of athleticism and body control. Dunking while under the backboard without hitting his head on the underside is incredible with his leaping ability. Maintaining the body control while maintaining focus to complete the dunk, wow. Juwan Morgan's dunk was a highlight of team play. Offensive rebound by McRoberts passing while falling down to a cutting Morgan, definitely meant more situationally. Dunk alone, Williams has to get the nod. Context made it much harder to judge and I believe the poll results and remarks reflect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
