Oregon State's Gary Payton II Caps Off 10-0 Run with Vicious 1-Handed Dunk

The last time Oregon State participated in the men's basketball NCAA tournament, a man named Gary Payton paved the way.

Some 26 years later, his son, Gary Payton II, is guiding the No. 7 Beavers to brilliance.

And that brilliance begins with making such a long-awaited, sought-after opportunity count—in this case, gaining the lead over No. 10 Virginia Commonwealth University.

Midway through the second half with the score tied at 49, the senior guard sprinted down the court, catching the outlet pass from teammate Drew Eubanks before splitting two defenders and emphatically hammering home the one-handed jam.

The play capped an electric Oregon State 10-0 run and put his team up 51-49.

Papa Payton must be proud.
