The Top 10 Sports Plays of the Year

As we’re inching closer to 2012, Chi Side is taking a look back at the top 10 sports plays of 2011:

10. Patrick Kane’s shootout beauty vs. Minnesota Wild
Clear your browser history after watching this, because it’s pretty nasty.

9. Kyle Kuric’s dunk vs. Notre Dame

I haven’t seen a white guy fly like this since Neil Armstrong went to the moon.

8. Ellis Coleman’s flying squirrel takedown
Greco-roman wrestler Ellis Coleman stunned the sports world with this unique and complex takedown.

Top Play: Demonte Harper game-winner/Kenneth Faried block on Mike Marra

The two-for-one special, as Harper’s shot put Morehead St. over heavily favorited Louisville. Probably the biggest upset of the day.

Runner-up: Matt Howard buzzer-beating lay in.

Shades of 2010’s tourney here, as Butler remarkably beats Old Dominion with a sick lay in at the buzzer.
