Some dunk contest dunks go off without a hitch and the crowd goes crazy. Then there are plenty of dunks like this, where it’s clearly a lost cause and the crowd is no longer into it. Craig Sword of Mississippi State severely overestimated how high he could really jump because he tried to jump over a pancake mascot, failing miserably and kicking the pancake in the face a couple times.

The college dunk contest was sponsored by Denny’s, which explains the pancake mascot but whoever was wearing the outfit probably regrets that decision.

The majority of the contest was pretty terrible overall so if you missed it, believe me you didn’t miss much.
