POSTERIZED: Marquette gives Abdul Gaddy "a case of the Blues"

The nightcap of the Jimmy-V Classic on Tuesday night featured Marquette and Washington, two teams known for exciting play and scoring points.

While last weekend's game between North Carolina and Kentucky remains the favorite for "Game of the Year", the tilt between the Huskies and the Golden Eagles certainly deserves recognition.

After all, the game was a back-and-forth affair. There were 15 lead changes in the final 12 minutes, a game-winning 3-pointer by Jae Crowder with under 10 seconds left, and even two signature POSTERIZED dunks.

We showed you the first one a couple hours ago.

But here's the other one.

Abdul Gaddy will be singing the blues after being on the wrong end of a POSTERIZED jam from Marquette sophomore Vander Blue.



The best part about this dunk is that Blue initially goes up with a finger-roll, but decided to change plans mid-flight. You can see him turn his wrist as his hand descends on the rim. The average human-being probably can't do something like that.

Marquette is one of the most exciting teams to watch this year. They have the coaching, experience, talent, athleticism, and now with Blue, a play-making guard who can do it all, the Golden Eagles should be considered legitimate Final Four contenders.
