Cincinnati gave top-seeded Kentucky all it could handle in the first half of a Round of 32 matchup in Louisville, but Willie Cauley-Stein gave the Wildcats a ton of energy with an unbelievable dunk.

With the Bearcats leading by one, Cauley-Stein cut toward the basket and received a pass in stride before throwing down a monstrous dunk over Quadri Moore and Octavius Ellis for an and-one.
Poor Moore didn’t know what hit him.

The dunk was so ferocious that Ellis was removed from the game and taken to the locker room after the play. Cauley-Stein then sunk the free throw to give the Wildcats the lead and all of the momentum going into halftime. Kentucky would later win 64-51 and become the first team in NCAA history to start 36-0.
You’ll be seeing that highlight on repeat for a while.
