Two Oklahoma State players combine for an ugly alley-oop try
Oklahoma State's Jeff Newberry is a high-flying 6-foot-2 point guard who was among the nation's most coveted junior college prospects last year.
Somehow teammate LeBryan Nash made Newberry look as clumsy as me trying to finish an alley-oop with a pass that was well off target.
Nash's alley-oop pass was too low and led Newberry too far under the basket during the second half of Oklahoma State's 64-53 victory over No. 20 Baylor on Tuesday night. As a result, Newberry got stuffed by the underside of the rim as he tried to finish the play.
Newberry enjoyed an otherwise decent game against Baylor, posting 10 points, four rebounds and two steals off the bench. He also had a nice two-handed baseline slam when he beat his man off the dribble earlier in the second half.
The botched alley-oop is probably the play that will get the most attention though. Marcus Smart to Markel Brown, it was not.
