#POSTERIZED: Almost Dunk of the Year

This is an excellent time to go over a few #POSTERIZED specifics.

1. It doesn't matter if the shot doesn't count. Putting somebody on a poster is not under the NCAA governance. #POSTERIZED does not recognize blocking and charging fouls. If a dunk takes place and there are witnesses, it's officially a #POSTERIZED candidate.

2. Unfortunately, you can only qualify for #POSTERIZED "Dunk of the Year" if the dunk was made and counted towards the overall team score of a sanctioned collegiate basketball game.

These two rules are very critical in our evaluation of the latest entry.

Kentucky has freak athletes all over the court. We saw what Alex Poythress could do on Monday night, humiliating much of the Duke basketball team, despite winding up on the losing side.

On Friday, it was Archie Goodwin's turn to show us what he can do. Unfortunately, some poor Lafayette Leopard was on the receiving end.

Enjoy:



What you just saw was unquestionably the best dunk of the young season. Unfortunately, due to the refs inability to properly identify the difference between athletic physicality and uncontrolled over-aggressiveness, we must look at this particular dunk as though it were in a vacuum unto itself.

In other words, if the referee had let the kids play, we would be talking about the clubhouse leader for "Dunk of the Year".

Oh, don't get me wrong, this is still a monster poster-dunk. FatHeadz won't not print wallbangers because the ref blew the call. It's just that "technically" this dunk can't qualify as DotY.

If we need picture evidence as to the magnitude of the blown-call, here it is:

(H/T @RICKdiculous_1)


Though I doubt a silly charging foul during a blowout win over Lafayette can/will stop members of #BBN lauding this as Dunk of the Year, and I wouldn't blame them for trying.

But was it as good as these?

John Brown - High Point vs. Appalachian State, 11/13
Stefan Jankovic - Missouri vs. Alcorn State, 11/14
Cole Dickerson - San Francisco vs. Cal State-East Bay, 11/13

#POSTERIZED: The John Brown Band

It must be good to be John Brown right now. The High Point freshman has played only two college basketball games, yet he's already averaging 25ppg and 7.5rpg. The Panthers are 2-0, with wins over regional rivals UNC-Greensboro and Appalachian State.

On top of that, Brown has already made an appearance on ESPN Top Plays.





If the rookie keeps doing things like this, we'll be seeing a lot more of him this season.

But was it as good as these?

Stefan Jankovic - Missouri vs. Alcorn State, 11/14

#POSTERIZED: Dickerson dunks for Dons

Over 500 players transferred out of school last year. Only Rice and Louisiana-Lafayette lost more players than San Francisco, who lost five since the end of last season.

Forward Cole Dickerson was nothing more than a solid sixth man who did a little bit of everything.

But with all the roster turnover, he's being counted on to produce more than ever, which includes making the #POSTERIZED highlight reel.



This may be one of the few times you hear about San Francisco all year, so make sure you soak it all in.

But was it as good as these?

Clancy Rugg - Vermont vs. UConn, 11/13
Jamari Traylor - Kansas vs. Michigan State, 11/13

#POSTERIZED: The Perfect Storm

This is the perfect #POSTERIZED dunk.

1. A Backup forward throws down a nasty, borderline-filthy baseline one-hander in garbage time of a 40-point blowout.

2. Then earns a technical foul for taunting...during garbage time of a 40-blowout.

3. Entire bench starts to crack up.

4. Backup forward gets credited with both the dunk AND the assist.


ERROR. ERROR. DOES NOT COMPUTE.

That's exactly what Missouri backup forward Stefan Jankovic did during the late second half of a 37-point blowout victory over Alcorn State on Tuesday night.


I dare you to find me a more complete sequence of entertaining late-game events than this.

I dare you.

#POSTERIZED: We take reccomendations

We here at Ballin' is a Habit have always been a voice of the people. The interaction with other college basketball fans is just one of the many things that makes this sport so special.

The gentleman who reside in the B.I.A.H NYC headquarters (aka 45 Wall) are some of the most passionate Vermont basketball fans in the history of creation. So when Vermont played UConn on Tuesday night, they had me on speed-dial just in case somebody threw down the nasty.

That person was Vermont's Clancy Rugg.



See, we try to cover all the best dunks in the college basketball world, but we only have so many sets of eyeballs. So we need your help. If you see a great dunk, something that might be #POSTERIZED-worthy, give us a shout on Twitter at @TroyMachir, @RobDauster or @Ballinisahabit. Feel free to use the #POSTERIZED hashtag.


After all, friends don't let friends miss out on somebody getting #POSTERIZED.

#POSTERIZED: Jamari "Tractor" Traylor

Leading up to the season tip-off many people around the Kansas program were hinting that Jamari Taylor had the mold of a Thomas Robinson-type of player: Fierce, endless motor, and strong as an ox.

On Tuesday night against Michigan State in the Champion's Classic, the redshirt freshman showed why people think he's the next T-Rob, with a vicious putback jam over several Spartans, and a few Jayhawks too:



The only difference between T-Rob a J-Tray is that Robinson always got full extension on his dunks. But let's give Traylor get where credit's due. That wsa still one heckuva dunk.

#POSTERIZED: Flight-23 ready for take off

There is no denying that Detroit's Doug Anderson is one of the most elite jumpers in the country. Sure, he was left off our preseason top-10 dunkers, but only because I wanted to see more.

And boy, did Anderson deliver:



Not only has Anderson positioned himself in the top-10, but he's also the clubhouse leader for dunk of the year.

I'm also certain that this won't be the last we hear from Flight-23.

#POSTERIZED: Brewer's got hops

Kris Brewer is not the most highly touted slam-dunk expert on the Kent State Golden Flashes. That award would go to his forward teammate Chris Evans.

But during the Tuesday morning portion of ESPN's Tip-Off Marathon, Brewer stole an errant pass and went coast-to-coast.

If this isn't the hoppiest batch of home-brew I've ever seen, I don't know what it:



Seriously. Somebody is going to have to I.D. Dalton Pepper after that monstrous one-hander. You gotta be of a certain age to handle those hops.

#POSTERIZED: Dunkin' on a boat

Syracuse stiffled San Diego State during Sunday's Battle on the Midway, aboard the U.S.S. Midway in San Diego. Only one Aztec (Jamaal Franklin) scored in double-figures (11pts) and the Orange led from pillar to post.

While the game wasn't the most entertaining of sorts, at least they we're able to sneak in a decent #POSTERIZED entry, courtesy of Syracuse big-man Rakeem Christmas:



There are so many cliches to be had with a Rakeem Christmas dunk on an aircraft carrier. But I'll spare you because we're all better than that....

#POSTERIZED: Deandre Daniels salutes the troops

UConn's Deandre Daniels figures to benefit mightily from the departures of Roscoe Smith, Jamal Coombs-McDaniel and Jeremy Lamb.

While known primarily as a long-range shooter, the sophomore wing proved to Michigan State that he's got an inside game as well.

#POSTERIZED: Pay Heed

The official start to the 2012-2013 NCAA basketball season doesn't begin until next week, but with exhibition games tiping off this week, the official start to the #POSTERIZED season is here.

Missouri's Keion Bell got things started on Monday. Never to be out done by Missouri, Kansas representative Ben McLemore dropped the hammer towards the end of the Jayhawks 88-54 exhibition win over Emporia State. Look up the term "Dropping the hammer" in the dictionary and you will find the following video embedded in the text:
 

What a way to start the season. From now until the final net is cut down in Atlanta, the #POSTERIZED series will be your must-follow guide to the best collegiate dunks, jams, slams, high-flyers, rim-rockers and gym-jammers.

POSTERIZED: Quincy Acy is electric

Quincy Acy is the most powerful dunker in the country. He's not th flashiest, or the most creative, but nobody throws down a dunk harder and more ferocious than "The Cookie Monster".

Half of his career has been spent dunking over and on-top of people. In fact, 50% of his career field-gaol makes have been dunks.

And what he did against Xavier tonight was one of his best.



That's just mean. It's bad enough the Baylor has to wear those "conceded green" uniforms. Getting a facefull of highlighter can cause night-blindness. I'm pretty sure this hurt Kenny Frease as much as Yancy Gate's sucker-punch did. #TooSoon?

POSTERIZED: The N.I.T Dunk Contest

You may have forgotten about the N.I.T.

That's understandible. I mean, we just saw two No.15-seeds defeat No.2-seeds for the first time in tournament history.

But what Minnesota's Rodney Williams and LaSalle's Ramon Galloway threw down in the first half of their N.I.T. game this week was pretty epic too.

Just because the quality of play might be down, doesn't mean the quality of posterization is too.

POSTERIZED: James Michael McAdunk

B.I.A.H POSTERIZED has been dormant for a while, and we apologize sincerely for this. But we've seen outsiders try to usurp our reign as masters of the college dunk domain. Don't get it twisted. B.I.A.H is the only place you should ever go to view the best dunks in college basketball.

Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's get back to the actual posterization. The Tournament has been relatively void of great dunkage, but UNC's James Michael McAdoo did his best to buck this trend.

At least the Catamounts got the memo ordering them to stay out of the lane.



McAdoo got the starting nod due to Jon Henson's wrist injury, and the freshman certainly showed why he he was so highly-touted as a recruit.

Championship Week Scoreboard

Everyone loves the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament. Four straight days jam-packed with 12 hours of do-or-die college hoops is more than most people can handle.

But for junkies like us, the next 13 days are just as good, for it is when the true Madness takes place. Over the course of these two weeks, we whittle some 347 teams down to 30 conference champions (the Ivy doesn't have a tournament). Auto-bids will be won. Bubbles will be burst. Buzzers will be beaten. And most importantly, a 68 team bracket will be made.

Below you will find a comprehensive schedule of all the conference tournaments, with scores updated regularly. This page is also acessibly by clicking the "Championship Week Scoreboard" tab at the top of the page.
