Late in the first quarter, Sedona Prince blocked a layup attempt by Ashlyn Watkins. Watkins ran back on defense and came from behind to steal the ball from Madison Conner.
Watkins controlled the ball in the backcourt and by the time she crossed mid-court it was clear she was lining up the dunk.
Prince tried to chase Watkins down. At 6-7, she is the nation’s leading shot-blocker, and she almost caught Watkins, but she only brushed by her while she dunked.
Watkins also dunked against Kentucky last season. On that play, the Wildcats were criticized for not trying to chase her down.
Officially, Watkins dunked twice during her freshman season. She first dunked against Clemson and then rattled in a layup against Charleston Southern that was scored as a dunk.
