Duke great Grant Hill produced one of the greatest finishes in Final Four history during the Blue Devils’ national title game victory over Kansas in 1991, reeling in a Bobby Hurley pass and throwing down a dunk in one motion. Saturday during No. 10 Louisville’s comeback win over No. 13 North Carolina, junior forward Montrezl Harrell made a similar play.

Chris Jones’ lob was a bit off the mark but that was no issue for Harrell, who needed just one hand to not only keep the ball from flying out of bounds but to finish with authority. A highly impressive play by arguably the most powerful athlete in college basketball.

Which alley-oop would you pick between the two: Hill’s or Harrell’s? I’d go Hill, but not by much.
