Zach Johnson had a clear lane to the hoop.
In the third quarter of Oklahoma State’s 80-68 victory against Florida Gulf Coast on Tuesday, Johnson, the Eagle’s leading scorer, elevated toward the OSU basket on a breakaway. As Johnson cocked back his right hand readying a tomahawk jam, though, Mitchell Solomon sailed in with his and stuffed Johnson at the rim.
A foul was called as Johnson crashed to the floor. A coach on the FGCU bench made an X with his arms, asking the foul to be called intentional. A replay on the video board in Gallagher-Iba revealed Solomon’s block was a lot cleaner than it looked.
