BERKELEY, Calif. – Washington’s Noah Dickerson and Utah’s Parker Van Dyke never saw Nahziah Carter coming.
They battled for position in the paint and were poised to snag a rebound following a missed three-pointer when the Husky freshman forward swooped in.
Carter leaped over both players, snared the loose ball in his left hand as it rattled off the rim and flushed a putback jam that sent a jolt of electricity through Alaska Airlines Arena during last week’s loss to Utah.
Replays of the highlight play, which quickly went viral, shows Dickerson briefly scanning the floor trying to determine what happened.
