Who didn't see this coming?

Of course everyone expected the walk-on redshirt freshman coach's son to take it at the 3 time All-Big Ten defensive team member and 2007-08 Big Ten Defensive Player of Year... and then go off-hand, off-glass to finish the fast break. Everyone saw that coming.

And then to come back a few possessions later and go behind the back on another fast break to streaking Eric May. Just business as usual.

Then the Iowa Hawkeyes' John Lickliter hit the long trey and things got silly.

I kid, of course, because I care. Seriously, though, it's totally worth the watch...
