Isaiah Hicks enjoys some bright moments during uncharacteristically rough night
Posted Mar 18, 2016
Isaiah Hicks tried to dunk over a Florida Gulf Coast defender from roughly 10 feet away, missing badly as he threw the ball down at the rim. The play resembled Tyler Hansbrough's comical dunk attempt against Oklahoma's Blake Griffin during UNC's national championship run seven years earlier, but Hicks didn't catch any grief from his teammates.
