Syracuse recruit Tyler Lydon makes 3 and dunks (and the ball never touches the floor)

Syracuse, N.Y. — There's an early favorite for the dunk contest at this year's Orange Madness.

Tyler Lydon, a member of Syracuse's 2015 recruiting class, could blow the roof off the Carrier Dome with a dunk he performed recently in which he makes a 3-pointer, catches the ball as it goes through the net and then dunks in one motion. The ball never touches the court from the time it leaves his hand on the 3-point attempt until he flushes it through the rim on the dunk.

Lydon tweeted out a short video of the trey-dunk.

Had to try it pic.
