The season ended with a thud for UNLV. However, for senior Ike Nwamu, former Mercer transfer, this season could end on a high note - a very high note.
Nwamu will be one of the contestants to compete for the annual College Slam Dunk Championship. The contest takes place at the Berry Center in Cypress, Texas at 6 pm pacific time tonight. Nwamu is one of eight contestants from nationwide who is recognized this year as one of the country's top dunkers.
Of course, if this contest reached out to non-seniors, the obvious slam dunk candidate from UNLV would be freshmen Derrick Jones, Jr.
