Illinois’ Malcolm Hill drove to the baseline early in the second half and cocked the ball back behind his head, preparing to dunk over Bakary Konaté.
No dice.
Instead of being flushed through the rim, the ball was blocked out of bounds.
But it wasn’t Minnesota’s 6-foot-11-inch center that swatted the would-be dunk into the stands. It was Andre Hollins, a 6-foot-2-inch guard who’s widely regarded as a one-dimensional sharpshooter, who darted from the weak side for the block.
