Oregon WR Dane Ebanez Got to Play in the Fiesta Bowl Because His Teammate Faked an Injury
The San Diego State men’s basketball team got off to a fantastic 12-2 start this year, with their only losses coming against #7 Syracuse and #4 Arizona. That’s why the Aztecs found themselves ranked 16th in the nation heading into their conference opener against Fresno State on Wednesday night.
So how did that game go?
Well, it was a lot closer than the Aztecs would have hoped, but they hung on for a 65-62 victory, thanks in large part to the performance of Jamaal Franklin. The junior guard from Hawthorne, California, didn’t just score a game-high 20 points. He also snagged an insane 18 rebounds, dished 5 assists, and blocked 3 shots.
Oh, and he also gave us a highlight reel dunk—a self ally oop off the backboard on a fast break—that might be the dunk of the year in college ball.

Not too shabby, huh? If Franklin keeps this up, San Diego State is going to be a pretty dangerous team come March.
