POSTERIZED: Weekend Recap

There were 172 college basketball games this weekend. If you're hoop-addicts like us, you and your couch got to spend a lot of quality time together on Saturday.

But not only was it a productive weekend of hoops. it was chalk-full of spectacular dunks.

Since we've started spending more time writing for NBC Sports Beyond the Arc, we have decided to group together the #POSTERIZED dunks that are good, but not great-enough to warrant their own post.

But first, have a gander at the marquee #POSTERIZED dunks from the weekend:
Darius Miller - Kentucky vs. Ole Miss
Tony Wroten Jr/Aziz N'Diaye - Washington vs. Arizona
Chris Czerapowicz - Davidson vs. Wichita State
Kenny Gabriel - Auburn vs. Mississippi State




POSTERIZED Weekend Recap 2/17 - 2/19

Branden Dawson - Michigan State vs. Purdue, 2/19

I've stated this before, but it needs rehashing: It's difficult to throw down a windmill dunk in traffic. Usually, you need time and space to set your feet, contort your body and swing your arms. I say usually, because well, sometimes a player decides to forgo conventional wisdom. That's exactly what Branden Dawson did yesterday, and the results speak for itself.





Okaro White - Florida State vs. North Carolina State, 2/18

In-bound ally-oops are a thing of beauty. There isn't too much that is more pretty than a player getting behind the entire defense and finishing home a nice slam. Okaro White did just that. The pass from Deividas Dulkys was a bit too high, but White has the athleticism and wingspan to make up for it.





Ian Hummer - Princeton vs. Cornell, 2/18

This might not be the best dunk of the weekend, but it's certainly my favorite. You just don't expect to see mean-muggings like this in Ivy League games. Ian Hummer can get up in a hurry, that I am certain of. This is probably the first time you're seeing this dunk. Make sure it's not the last.





Sir'Dominic Pointer - St. John's vs. UCLA, 2/18

I still think it's beyond stupid that this kid's name is "Sir'Dominic", but I've been told I can't voice my opnions here. Anyways, this was a sick dunk. Enjoy.





Caleb Walker - Nebraska vs. Illinois, 2/18

The Huskers absolutely humiliated the Illini on Saturday. At one point, the Huskers were on a 37-2 run. That's just unacceptable. To make matters worse for the Illini, they got shown up by Caleb Walker and his nasty one-handed ally-oop.





Sebastian Koch - Elon vs. Western Carolina, 2/18

This is the perfect type of dunk to highlight in the Weekend Recap. It's not spectacular, but it's well above average. Koch went "hard to paint" and finished with authority. I like it.





Brandyn Curry - Harvard vs. Yale, 2/18

The #POSTERIZED series has been devoid of a good reverse jam for far too long. Luckily Harvard's Curry was here to save the day. But the dunk isn't even the best part. The play-by-play announcer is hilarious. He kinda sounds like he's a 12-year old providing play-by-play while he's shooting hoops in the backyard. But hey, he's on the mic and I'm not.





But was it as good as these?

POSTERIZED: Weekend Recap

This is the third week of the B.I.A.H #POSTERIZED Weekend Recap, and I think we might be on to something here. Surprisingly enough, capturing a #POSTERIZED entry is more time-consuming than you might think, so for all the borderline-#POSTERIZED dunks, a post like this makes perfect sense.

There were a handful of #POSTERIZED-worthy dunks this weekend, and we think we documented most of them. IF you found once we missed, hit us up on twitter at @BIAHTroyMachir or @Ballinisahabit

We've also created a BIAHPOSTERIZED YouTube channel. You can watch all the #POSTERIZED-worthy dunks we've uploaded, as well as others we've found from other sources.

OK, let's get to the dunks.

Ali Langford, Niagara vs. Rider, 2/11

This isn't a fantastic dunk, in fact, it's nothing more than ordinary. But it was a game-winner. Who doesn't love a game-winning dunk?





Steve Moore, Missouri vs. Baylor, 2/11

I love me some "Big Steve". The Missouri big-man has played a huge role for the Tigers this season, and has helped to fill up the front court in the absence of Laurence Bowers. In the Tiger's dominant win over Baylor this weekend, "Big Steve" got vertical in a huge way, flying through the lane for an emphatic dunk. The crowd reaction is awesome.





Markel Brown, Oklahoma State vs. Kansas, 2/11

Brown has been a one-man #POSTERIZED army in 2012. He has taken over for Alabama's Tony Mitchell as "Dunker of the Year" and with good reason. This is just an amazing dunk. The pass is fantastic, but the catch-and-release is phenomenal. Oklahoma State might not be all that great, but every game featuring the 'Pokes is becoming "Must-Se TV" because of Brown's dunkabillity.





Stuart Lagerson, UT-Arlington vs. Texas State, 2/11

The Mavericks of UTA are undefeated in the Southland Conference and are on a 15-game win streak. Their 20-point win over Texas State this weekend was capped off by a nasty #POSTERIZED jam by seldom-used seven-footer Stuart Lagerson. It was only his 11th field goal of the season, but it will probably go down as being the best of the year.





Steven Roundtree, Oral Roberts vs. Western Illinois, 2/11

The 2011 Summit League "Newcomer of the Year" has been a integral part of the Golden Eagles success this season. Oral Roberts is on the cusp of a Summit League regular season championship and a favorite to win the conference tournament. They are also a legitimate bubble contender. The sophomore forward is averaging just over 10ppg and has the athletic ability to clean up any miss.

Shane Southwell, Kansas State vs. Texas, 2/11

Kansas State needed to beat Texas over the weekend to stay in contention for an at-large bid. Unfortunately they didn't get it, losing 75-65. They are now 6-6 in the Big-XII and have lost three of their last five. But the did get a mighty poster-dunk from Shane Southwell, so they can take solace in that, right?





Arnett Moultrie, Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss, 2/9

OK, this one is from Thursday, but ESPN has made a real mess of things by starting their branded "weeks" by starting them on Saturdays and ending on Mondays. What type of week is that? Regardless, this dunk needs recognition. look where Dee Bost throws it from. Sure, the Markel Brown dunk is better, but this one ain't too shabby either.





Raphiael Putney, UMass vs. St. Bonaventure's, 2/8

Since we're already discussing crazy alley-oops that took place last week, we might as well mention this little dandy. All I know is that if you miss a pass like this, you're probably gonna end up on the bench for a long time. But if you're successful, well, you get the dap you deserve.
