Last night’s Oregon State vs. Howard game wasn’t televised, so one of the best basketball plays of the week has gone largely unnoticed…until a video of the acrobatic alley-oop went viral this morning.

The play comes from early on in the Beavers’ 93-72 rout of Howard when Jared Cunningham went skyward to reverse slam this long-distance alley-oop.

It’s definitely worthy of being named Dunk of the Week…which is apparently something we’re doing here on the Bent Blog now.
