per Marcus:

Mi*chael Hurt isn’t known for his dunk*ing.

But there was the 6-foot-7 Go*phers sopho*more for*ward, driv*ing hard to the bas*ket in the first half Thurs*day night against Oral Rob*erts, gath*er*ing him*self for a big throw-down. The ball rim*med out af*ter he was fouled, but Hurt made sure the se*cond chance he got count*ed.

In the se*cond half, Hurt ran the floor and fin*ished a pin*point pass from I*sa*iah Wash*ing*ton with a one-hand*ed slam over a de*fend*er.

“It felt pret*ty good,” the Roch*es*ter John Marshall product said. “I thought I was going to get the first one. I*sa*iah made a great pass and I just went up with it.”

“He re*al*ly plays smart basket*ball,” coach Rich*ard Pit*i*no said. “He’s min*i*miz*ing mis*takes. … He’s shoot*ing the ball when he’s open. I didn’t think I’d see him dunk this early. That was nice to see. Those were re*al*ly good min*utes for him. He took ad*van*tage of an op*por*tu*ni*ty, cer*tain*ly.”
