The ’10-’11 college basketball season is off to a roaring start with some things playing out pretty much as expected with teams like Duke, Pittsburgh, and Kansas looking very good with unblemished records. Of course there have been some surprises like UConn’s tremendous early start, beating two Top 10 teams en route to winning the 2010 Maui Invitational, and Tennessee’s surprising upset over Villanova in the NIT Tip-Off finale.
For some strange, but enjoyable reason, players seem to be dunking the ball with frequency and ferociousness in this first month of the season. Players like Kentucky’s fabulous freshman Terrence Jones, Texas’ Jordan Hamilton, and Arizona’s Derrick Williams are featured in our NCAA’s Top 5 Dunks of November.
