Voting Open Now Until March 6 at www.Facebook.com/DunksoftheYear - CLICK HERE TO VOTE
Utah State University forward Brady Jardine'smonster dunk against St. Mary's on Feb. 19 was selected as a 2011 Papa John's Dunk of the Year nominee, announced today [March 2] by sports television production and event marketing company Intersport.
The Papa John's Dunk of the Year is wholly determined by fan voting and will be announced on a one-hour Papa John's Dunks of the Year special airing on CBS April 3 at 3:30 p.m. ET.
Each week for the past eight weeks, four incredible college dunk videos have been released at the Dunks of the Year fan page on Facebook (www.facebook.com/dunksoftheyear). The top weekly vote-getters proceed to the Finals, which tip off March 7. The CBS special will highlight the eight finalists and reveal the 2011 Papa John's Dunk of the Year.
Jardine's dunk — in which he sliced through the lane and viciously posterized Gaels forward Mitchell Young in the closing minutes of the game — is competing against three other dunkers in week eight, including North Carolina's Harrison Barnes, Tennessee's Scotty Hopson and Louisville's Peyton Siva.
To support Jardine, fans can vote once a day and share their vote with their Facebook friends. Week eight voting opened today and ends Sunday, March 6 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
Winners — and therefore 2011 Papa John's Dunk of the Year finalists — from the first seven weeks of voting include:
Shay Shine, High Point University
Jermaine Mallett, Missouri State University
Jared Cunningham, Oregon State University
Travis Releford, University of Kansas
Kyle Kuric, University of Louisville
Will Sheehey, Indiana University
Terrence Jones, University of Kentucky
