You didn't see his between the legs dunk at Marquette Madness, did you?

Didn't Wes jump over TC's ATV and dunk at MM a few years ago?

He missed it as I recall

I don't think he'll embarrass himself, but not sure he's at the same level as a guy like Pargo. Should be fun for Wes though, and it is nice to have MU represented.

This is something I would like to see a healthy DJ participate in.  I'm sure Wes will acquit himself just fine.

commentators didn't show him much love in the beginning of the show... hope Wes makes sure they remember him by the end of the night!

If the dunk contest has not been completed yet, I found an online stream to it.

No big thing, but just saw Buzz and his Wife sitting courtside during the 3 point contest.

Nice dunk by Wes. That first guy got totally hosed by the judges.

We all know that even if Wes did get to the second round, he would have gotten eliminated there in true Marquette fashion.

Wes's first dunk was sick

I have to say, Wes' uniform stood out as several steps above anything else in the building.

I don't care if Wes finished last last night.  Being away from the boards yesterday and not knowing he was a contestant, was a very, very pleasant surprise for me.

Seeing Wes in an MU jersey one last time....was awesome.

I think that his first missed dunk in the second round was pretty sweet... had he made it.

The whole idea of the slam dunk contest for college players sucks.

Lets be serious, the Dunk Contest in the NBA sucks, knowing that there are better dunkers in the league makes it a bad watch.

Until you get D-Wade, LeBron, Kobe, and bring back MJ... the dunk contest sucks

Lebron said he was going to be in it next year to challenge D howard and i hope that draws dwade and other big time players back to the contest

I'd rather MU players not be forced to work in failing cities.  Maybe they could both play in cities where there are people left that can afford to attend sporting events still?

Why we don't wear them is because I don't think we have won a game in them.

Hmmm... I'm thinking there might be a new supersticion emerging here:

Cannot win a game if wearing the baby blues.
Cannot win a dunk contest if your coach is wearing yellow pants.
