Next up was the Slam Dunk Contest. After three rounds, and a vote by a committee of five Marshall fans, redshirt junior Johnny Thomas took home top honors with a dunk that began with a pass from teammate DeAndre Kane who was standing 12 rows up in the stands of the Henderson Center.
The night was capped off by a 20-minute scrimmage. The crowd of 2,017 saw the Green team defeat the White team 52-46. The Green Team’s Thomas led all scorers with 13 points.
