How much better does Denzel Aberdeen make this team? With a true point guard back in the lineup, Collin Chandler was able to shift back to his natural spot and take flight.
Chandler’s dunk is the highlight of Kentucky’s 77-51 win over Nicholls, a surefire candidate for SportsCenter‘s Top 10. Chandler has thrown down several impressive slams during his time as a Wildcat, jumping over Mark and Lee Anne Pope to win the dunk contest in his first Big Blue Madness and John Wall to win his second. The sophomore had a few big dunks in the preseason, but none were as big as tonight’s, a one-handed tomahawk slam that brought Rupp Arena to its feet and pushed Kentucky’s lead to 32.
