CLEVELAND — Clifford Omoruyi made the play of the game in No. 2 seed Alabama’s 80-66 win over No. 7 seed Saint Mary’s. It’s a play he’s been making a lot lately.
With eight minutes to go in the game, Mark Sears drove down the middle of the lane. Stopping just before the restricted circle, he lofted the ball toward the rim. It wasn’t the best lob, but Omoruyi anticipated it from the dunker’s spot. He drifted over and threw down an incredible reverse jam to put Alabama up by 14.
“It was fun," Omoruyi recalled after the game.
