The Sweet 16 will begin on Thursday, and the most exciting games will follow after, but the first two rounds of the tournament provided plenty of breathtaking and entertaining plays. What follows is a top ten (plus one) of the best highlights of the tournament so far.
10 – Manu Lecomte with the rare and extremely valuable 4-point play to turn the game in favor of the Bears against a tough Rhode Island team.
9 – It is hard to describe Stanford Robinson‘s circus shot. It’s a lot easier to enjoy his teammate celebration.
8 – Through the legs along the baseline and a basket at the shot clock buzzer with a hand in his face. Courtesy of Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk.
7- Josh Jackson took a us for a ride on the DeLorean for a quick Doctor J. flashback.
6 – Kadeem Allen runs the fastbreak in his own way.
5 – “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!” Moses Kingsley, probably.
4 – Why is playing against West Virginia such a nightmare? The following 6 seconds should give you an idea, courtesy of Adrian-Miles-Ahmad
3 – Deng Adel‘s feud with the rim.
2- He said he copied Michael Jordan. One of the most “clutch” plays of the weekend. Nigel Hayes on the baseline for the win against Villanova.
1 – This is THE dunk of the first rounds. Semi Ojeleye, in all of his power.
+1 – A treat to all of you the love passing. Lonzo Ball with the vision, TJ Leaf with the execution.
