Saturday afternoon at The Hump, while his Bulldogs had the lead and were on their way to winning back-to-back games, Travis Daniels got the first breakaway of his career. The senior forward for Mississippi State’s basketball team seemed to realize what was happening around the time he hit mid-court. No one was in front of him, no one was going to catch him, and he had the length of the floor to figure out what he was going to do.
Those watching could see the gears turning in his head, pondering the decision: should he go simple and just lay the ball in the basket, or go for the big dunk in front of the home crowd?
