Monmouth's George Papas and college basketball's most infamous dunk

Has a basket scored by a team trailing by 55 points ever been more scrutinized?

It was on Nov. 15 that Monmouth junior George Papas, his team trailing 110-55, stole the ball from Kansas' Tristan Enaruna, who had his back turned to the action and was attempting to dribble out the clock. After completing the dunk to a chorus of boos from the Allen Fieldhouse crowd, Papas was whistled for a technical foul, presumably for taunting Enaruna after the play. The viral highlight provoked a very mixed reaction, followed by a debate.
