Powerful David McCormack unleashed an authoritative, two-handed follow dunk off a missed layup by fellow Kansas freshman Quentin Grimes with 5 1/2 minutes left in the Jayhawks’ 79-52 exhibition victory over Washburn on Thursday night at Allen Fieldhouse.
McCormack, KU’s 6-foot-10, 265-pound power forward out of Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., deposited that slam efficiently, yet fell on his backside after clanging a more forceful, try-to-bring-down-the-backboard dunk attempt off a carom of a Chris Teahan miss with under a minute to play.
Had McCormack’s second two-handed dunk try been successful, it would been the play of the game in the Jayhawks’ second and final game of the preseason.
