LOL. ... Trent Strickland's showoff blown dunk at a key point in our comeback against Duke that year remains one of the dumbest plays I have ever seen in a basketball game. ...[/I][/B]
I was in the building when that happened and I have never seen a game turn around so completely on one single play. It wasn't that Strickland tried to dunk the ball. There are fundamentally sound dunks and there are showboating "hey look at me, put me on Sportscenter" dunks and Trent tried to do the latter.
Sadly, that grandstanding fiasco embodied the entire Prosser-Gaudio Era, one in which the Wake program consistently demonstrated incredible athleticism undermined by narcissism and a total lack of on-court discipline.
