WATCH: Race Thompson Throws Down Put-Back Dunk Against Miami of Ohio

Indiana forward Race Thompson leapt for a huge put-back dunk against Miami of Ohio on Sunday.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Hoosier Nation at Gainbridge Fieldhouse loved this one. 

Indiana guard Tamar Bates's mid-range jumper hit off the back rim, but like so many times before, Race Thompson was there to clean it up. And instead of catching the ball and landing, Thompson threw down a vicious put-back dunk off the rebound.
