The ball caromed toward the sideline as Michigan basketball's Eli Brooks tangled with a defender for a long rebound. Brooks, whose career has been defined by superior effort, secured possession and zipped a cross-court pass to point guard DeVante’ Jones that ignited a fast break.
As Jones bolted down the left side of the court, center Hunter Dickinson raced down the right. The big fella, as coach Juwan Howard calls him, was rewarded for his effort with a gorgeous feed from Jones for a dunk.
Small as the sequence might have been, it brought associate head coach Phil Martelli to his feet with applause.
