I suppose by now West Virginia, and probably you, would rather not see Markel Brown against this season. His 3-pointer beat the Mountaineers in the Coliseum earlier this month and he had two eye-popping dunks as part of his double-double in Saturday’s win at home.

We can debate the better of the two dunks: The two-handed putback at the end of the first half was outstanding, even if WVU’s resistance was decidedly not outstanding (seriously, that’s not healthy).

I prefer the one posted above from the second half, though. That 360 took a unique combination of skill and courage and it’s not like he had a lot of runway to work with there — though, once again, he got an assist from the ever gracious Mountaineers.

But I think what pushes that dunk over the top is his explanation:

“Every time I get a break, I have a great set of athletic ability, it would be a shame to waste it and not do something for the crowd. Fans like to come to the games and see things like that, so I had to give it to them. It’s a great spark for this team, when I do a dunk like that and the crowd gets rowdy, it gives us a boost of energy on defense.”
