Play of the Day – 3/31/11

Top Play: Ben Eager five-holes himself for goal

The former Hawks’ enforcer takes a pass and converts it to one of the best goals of the year.

Runner-up: Jacob Tucker wins NCAA dunk contest

The Illini should get this guy to transfer.

Here are yesterday’s top plays:

Top Play: Illinois High School Skills Competition Shootout Goal

Some kid from Waubonsie Valley with a sick dangle in the skills comp. I remember trying stuff like this after practice all the time.

Runner-up: Dexter Strickland dunk on Kyle Singler (charging)

When I saw this all I could think about was the similarities between Illinois’ Jereme Richmond’s dunk on Sam Thompson. What were the refs thinking here?
