The opening days of the Men’s Basketball NCAA Tournament are often inundated with bracket-busting upsets, buzzer-beater threes, and thunderous slam dunks.
And sure enough, the son of former Patriots linebacker Rosevelt Colvin put an emphatic stamp on the first day of March Madness Thursday afternoon.
Myles Colvin, who plays for the No. 4 Purdue Boilermakers, provided the top highlight from his team’s opening-round win over No. 13 High Point was at the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence.
The sophomore wing threw down the hammer in the closing minutes of the first half against High Point, gathering a missed three-point shot by Camden Heide and completing the put-back slam.
