↵Adam Waddell properly executes what we'll call a "Laramie neck plant," not a backflip or somersault. Both of those involve landing on your feet, something announcer Tim McCormack gets right when he suggests he "didn't stick the landing." ↵

↵On the upside, he walks away fine and laughing, so good for him. BTW: this will be the only time "Wyoming Basketball Player Dunks" will ever appear in the history of the internet ever, and will be the only time Wyoming basketball highlights make SportsCenter until a grizzly attack occurs on the floor at Laramie. ↵
