Tyler Lydon missed dunk shot.

Sorry if it has already been discussed, but someone has to have video of that beast mode moment where he missed that dunk and it went, a good 80 feet skyward. The move that caused the grab for the intentional as well, that sequence was most fantastic zero point trip ever.

He made Gbinije proud with that one.

He made Gbinije proud with that one.

Brandon Triche, Kris Joseph and MCW all must have appreciated it as well.

 

[Knicks411]

Jonny Flynn was always the king of the almost dunk to me

 

[HoustonCuse]

The absolute best part of that? We corralled the crazy rebound and within seconds, he was standing in the same spot demanding the ball again. That was AWESOME!

 

[EnnisEnvy]

Paul Harris WISHES he could almost dunk like that!

 

[Brooky03]

MCW will forever be the king of almost dunks.

 

[HoustonCuse]

MCW will forever be the king of almost dunks.

But he had two amazing ones: the one versus St. John's in his freshman year that was a jaw dropper, and that game winner against #1 Louisville at the Yum center which was one of the most awesome plays in SU history.

 

[CusefanATL]

He made Gbinije proud with that one.

hey now... Silent G has made like 3 monster dunks in a row.

 

[CusefanATL]

MCW will forever be the king of almost dunks.

na, Triche wears that crown - mainly b/c MCW landed the Lville dunk.

 

[CusefanATL]

Jonny Flynn was always the king of the almost dunk to me

But Flynn landed the Rosario dunk

 

[imdevo]

MCW will forever be the king of almost dunks.

Sir Hakim Warrick will have something to say about that

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Honestly, even though he missed it, I think that play showed MTSU they were in for something different from anything they'd seen all season.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Sir Hakim Warrick will have something to say about that

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[HoustonCuse]

Sir Hakim Warrick will have something to say about that

Yeah, I don't think we are playing the same game.

 

[Knicks411]

But Flynn landed the Rosario dunk

I know; it was 7 years ago but I remember him having a ton of incredible almost dunks before finally landing that one.

Yup, best part. I love his demeanor on the court. Tough, tough, toughnik and fiery!

He had one in the Oklahoma tourney game that would have been one of the dunks of the year in college basketball and an all-time dunk in Syracuse history, even if it was when we were down 20 or whatever.

EDIT: Found the whole game on youtube and recorded the missed dunk from Flynn, which led immediately to one of Blake Griffin's 37 dunks that game. Sorry for the bad quality, I just recorded it with my cell phone.

It was pretty amazing seeing Lydon in full FU mode. That Foote guy must have really said something out of bounds because I've never seen Lydon that pissed in a game, ever.

Hopefully the switch went on and it never goes off.

 

[Jasoncuse]

That was the ultimate Syracuse stretch. Miss an absolute MONSTER dunk. Corral the board, try again, draw the intentional foul...miss both FT's and then fail to score on the possession. The ultimate tease ending in absolutely nothing.

Water sucks! It really really sucks!!

I vehemently disagree

The ultimate tease ending in absolutely nothing.

Except setting the tone for the rest of the game.

I remember this one feb2nd 2004 dunk attempt by warrick against the uconn national champs. He almost took it over Okafor outstretched just him backrim. By far my favorite miss of all time the only thing that went right that game. Had he made that it would probably have been my favorite dunk of all time. cant find a video of it anymore.
