Dunks from the Day: Glenn Robinson

Dunks from the Day, which, if you can't tell by the title, will highlight some amazing dunks from, um, back in the day. None of this new-fangled, fancy-pants stuff ... I'm talking about guys throwing it down while sporting side burns, nut-huggers and knee socks.

This brings back some memories ... I had totally forgotten about Matt Waddell, the Purdue point guard in the mid-90s. He's the guy who feeds Glenn Robinson for the dunk over Greg Ostertag, something Ostertag got pretty good at while at Kansas.

From Purdue's web site:
The Boilermakers earned the third spot in the AP Poll and a No. 1 seed in the 1994 NCAA Tournament. Robinson led the Boilermakers to the Sweet 16 ... and a matchup with Kansas in Knoxville, Tenn. Robinson scored 44 points and collected seven rebounds against the Jayhawks, leading Purdue to an 83-78 win...
It's also worth noting that Robinson had 30 points in the first half. Purdue would lose to Duke in the next round, the Milwaukee Bucks would take Robinson with the first-overall pick that June, and Boilermakers basketball hasn't been the same since.
