Alex Poythress Had An Unfortunate Incident With The Net, And It Almost Cost Him A Tooth

Second-ranked Kentucky won the biggest game of the (extremely) young college basketball season last night, beating No. 5 Duke 74-63. One of the finest moments of the game was Kentucky senior (they have seniors at Kentucky?) Alex Poythress throwing down this alley-oop from Jamal Murray:

See Poythress grabbing at his mouth after the dunk? That’s because he got his damn tooth stuck in the net! It’s like the giant-basketball-man version of tying string around your tooth and slamming a door shut, although we’re pretty sure Poythress has already lost his baby teeth. Not 100 percent sure, but pretty sure.
