Midnight Madness produces some memorable moments each year, so we're chronicling the best ones from Friday's lineup all weekend. If you spot something we missed, let us know here or here.
In case Creighton fans weren't already excited about out-dueling Colorado and Wichita State to land Austin Chatman, they surely are now after glimpsing the class of 2011 point guard's athleticism up close Friday night. Chatman, generously listed at 6 feet, took a running start from the top of the key, leapt over 7-footer Geoff Groselle and threw down a flawless alley-oop jam to help win Creighton's dunk contest. Granted Chatman had to push off a bit to ensure he didn't collide with Groselle's head, but it was still an impressive dunk. "We practiced it four or five times yesterday and got it one time," Chatman said. "I figured I'd get it today with the adrenaline rush."{YSP:MORE}
