POSTERIZED: Derrick Williams did the damn thing

I saw it, you saw it, we all saw it.

Duke was manhandled by Arizona in a way we haven't seen in a very long time. Arizona out-muscled them, they out-hustled them down the floor, they out-shot them, they essentially out-everything'd them.

Including out-dunking them.

Not only has Derrick Williams become one of the best players in the country, he's become one of the top dunkers as well. On the flip-side, Duke is amongst the most-posterized teams in the country.

So naturally, when these two meet, posters were bound to get, well, posted.
And they did.





But Williams wasn't the only Wildcat to get in on the posterization party. Jemelle Horne picked the perfect game to create his own personal Duke fathead.



Seriously. This may have been the most ruthless display of posterization we've seen all season.

Think about it.

It's enough just to handle Duke in the manner which they did. It's even more of an accomplishment to do it in the Sweet Sixteen, on a neutral court. But to embarrass the Blue Devils with an above-the-rim arsenal? That's just on a whole different level.

There was no greater way for the Wildcats to advance to the Elite Eight than with three posterizations.

Here's to hoping they can get four against UConn.

NOTE: Remember, the nominees for the B.I.A.H. POSTERIZED Awards will be named next week, so keep your eyes open. There will be eight different categories for you to vote in, including: Best Dunk, Best Dunker, Best Poster-dunk, Best Alley-Oop, Best Tip-dunk, and many more.

The bottom dunk belongs to Jamelle Horne -- not Solomon Hill.
