Michael Wilson dunk.

And he got t-ed up for that. Made a close game not so close.

That was awesome

Jim I remember that game awesome dunk long delay after. That was one of the last shattered backboards I remember seeing. I believe it was not long after that they started using breakaway rims.

I remember it too - wasn't that strong, but he came from the side and basically twisted the rim and it popped - didn't have spares laying around then so it took a while to find one - a couple of years later I ran the homecoming events at MUHS - I held a slam dunk competition and a cat named Charles Benn shattered the board - since it was my event the AD was chasing me down the halls yelling at me that I had to pay for it - they aren't cheap!!

I remember that too...but the best thing I remember about Michael Wilson is him blocking outside shots on guys. They would think they were going to get a jumper off and he would just swat it back.

Michael Wilson career highlight?

Standing on the rim waving his yellow sock after Doc hit game winner against Domers.

That too, was awesome.
