Wyoming lost at home to SMU last night, 62-54. SMU is coached by Larry Brown -- a national champion, NBA champion and Basketball Hall of Famer. Was wondering what happened to him. SMU is now 10-2.
Wyoming has junior Larry Nance Jr., son of 3-time NBA All-Star, inaugural Dunk Champ Larry Nance, who beat out Dr J and Dominque Wilkins. Check this out:

Apparently like father like son as Jr was nominated--as a sophomore--for dunk of the year and made ESPN's top ten plays (here's the video, but I think the pic is more amazing):

Who's going to guard this guy? He had 16 points and 13 rebounds against a better SMU team, his fourth double-double of the season. He was coming off a 38-point, 12-rebound performance in a loss against Denver last week. 38-12! But they did lose that game, so maybe the key is to let him get his and make the rest of the team beat us.
