He had a vicious dunk and a disrespectful crossover

Nico Mannion’s highlight reel added several new scenes in the Arizona Wildcats’ win over the South Dakota State Jackrabbits on Thursday.

In the first half, the freshman disrespectfully crossed up a defender and let him get up before draining a 3-pointer in his eye.

Later, Mannion put an exclamation point on the victory by beating his defender off the dribble before throwing down a vicious one-handed slam that will probably end up on SportsCenter’s Top 10:

Mannion finished with 14 points, four assists, and three rebounds on 4-of-9 shooting, continuing his hot start to his college career.

He helped Arizona avoid an upset Thursday, as it only beat the Jackrabbits 71-64 after trailing by as many as 10 points in the first half.
