With under two minutes to play against Maryland men’s basketball, Wisconsin turned to senior guard D’Mitrik Trice to try to cut into its three-point deficit on its home floor. Trice tried to go to the rim, but was tightly defended by senior Maryland guard Darryl Morsell, and the miss falling into the hands of sophomore forward Donta Scott.
With an opportunity to put his team up five, Scott took it upon himself to put this one away. After receiving a pass from a double-teamed Aaron Wiggins, Scott pump-faked a defender closing out and dove toward the rim. Despite three defenders converging on him, the sophomore rose above all and threw down a monstrous two-handed slam, giving Maryland a five-point cushion with 57 seconds remaining.
