Related Topics: Analysis, Anu, Virginia, Kyle Guy

One of the most exciting parts of UVa’s complete dismantling of the Carolina basketball team yesterday was DeAndre Hunter’s massive dunk over Joel Berry in the second half. Considering Virginia’s stifling defense led to 19 UNC turnovers and numerous dunks for the Hoos, Hunter’s hustle in grabbing the offensive board and thereafter boomshakalaka perfectly summed up UVa’s domination in the JPJ Saturday.

While we’ve all had time to review and celebrate the basics of this momentous play, a further in-depth analysis is required due to the diverse and plentiful collection of reactions from the UVa players who were on the bench at the time of the dunk:

This broader view of the play allows us the best view of a few reactions:

Jack Salt - #33

Move: Double pump underarm flex: 3/5 Enthusiasm: 3/5

Overall: 6/10

A solid effort from the Big Kiwi, who had a few dunkalicious plays himself this game.
