With 8:12 remaining in the first half of Sunday’s game against Tulane, junior center Asbjørn Midtgaard swatted a shot, initiating a fast break. Freshman guard Grant Sherfield secured the rebound and bolted down the floor, as did sophomore Dexter Dennis. At the end of the break, Sherfield lobbed a pass to Dennis, who slammed it with authority.
Charles Koch Arena was rocking. Midtgaard ran back down the floor with his arms spread wide, mimicking an airplane. All Head Coach Gregg Marshall could do was point to his big man, clap in approval, and smile.
“He had a great play the other night to ignite a fast break,” Marshall said in his Tuesday press conference.
