Brandon Randolph wins Red-Blue Game dunk contest

This Arizona team has a ton of athletes

Prior to the Arizona Wildcats’ Red-Blue scrimmage, five Wildcats showed off their athleticism in a scintillating dunk contest.

Nobody dunked over Sean Miller this year, but there were still some impressive displays nonetheless.

Ira Lee and Brandon Randolph both scored 95s in the first two rounds, setting up one final round after the sold-out crowd chanted “one more dunk.”

Randolph then won it with a windmill after catching a pass off the glass.

Here are highlights from the event. A more in-depth recap is below.
