Cody native and University of Wyoming center Adam Waddell had a huge breakaway dunk in Tuesday night's College Basketball Invitational game against Northeastern University. Perhaps it was a little too huge.
Waddell, a redshirt freshman, apparently forgot to let go of the rim -- and he ended up doing a stunning midair flip.
Check it out in the video clip embedded below:
The highlight-reel play (incident?) made ESPN's top 10 last night and sent the web buzzing with thousands of comments.
"This is the most relevant Wyoming has been in American culture since the Oregon Trail," remarked one user on the sports blog Deadspin.com.
"too bad we lost," said a Cowboy supporter on YouTube. "waddell at least made a memory for a forgettable season for wyoming fans."
We've got a cool photo sequence of the dunk and spill on tomorrow's Sports page.
