Oregon's Elgin Cook with an insane missed dunk
Unlikely missed dunk by Oregon’s Elgin Cook goes through the rim but pops out
Elgin Cook of Oregon, in the overtime of the game against Utah, made a huge dunk, but the ball lingshotted back out of the basket despite going through the rim and three-quarters of the way down the net.
Per Yahoo, To the referees' credit, they made the proper call not to count the basket. The NCAA rulebook states a shot only counts when "a live ball that is not a throw-in enters the basket from above and remains in or passes through." In this case, it appears the recoil of the rim foiled Cook after he violently snapped it down.
