One vote. That is all that separated a winning dunk (Travis Cohn) from a losing dunk (Shay Shine) in Round 1 of our 2010/11 College Dunk of the Year Tournament. In other matchups, Lee University's Larriques Cunningham dominated - all three of his dunks advanced to our Elite Eight round, winning their matchups with 64%, 57% and 53% of the votes, respectively. Rounding out the Elite Eight, Oregon State's Jared Cunninghman grabbed 53% of the vote in his matchup, Kenny Gabriel 59%, C.J. Fair 54% and Dwayne Lathan 63%.
The Elite Eight round of voting is now open. The rules are pretty simple: you, the reader, vote for which dunk is the best between each pair (please only vote once per dunk - no ballot stuffing - that's why a valid e-mail address is required for each voting ballot). Each round of voting will be open for a week and we'll continue until we have crowned our champion. no comments

It's back. The Hoops Manifesto's Second Annual College Dunk of the Year Tournament is back (that's last year's winner Gerard Anderson dunking on yo face above). We've selected 16 of the best dunks from the 2010/11 college basketball season and have paired them up in a single elimination tournament. The rules are pretty simple: you, the reader, vote for which dunk is the best between each pair (please only vote once per dunk - no ballot stuffing - that's why a valid e-mail address is required for each voting ballot). Each round of voting will be open for a week and we'll continue until we have crowned our champion.
So let's get the show on the road - voting for Round 1 ends this Sunday at midnight Eastern. no comments

The big advantage college basketball holds over its football brethren - it's ace in the hole, if you will - is of course March Madness. College basketball can boast that, because of its NCAA Tournament, it crowns a true national champion, not one based on polls and computer rankings. They can boast that the best team in the nation is identified and given the championship. But is this really true?
