Mercy Miller relentlessly posterizes the Iowa quarterback
Mercy Miller pulled off a ridiculous dunk during no. 2 Houston Cougars vs. No. 6 Iowa State Cyclones on Monday night.
Miller is in the second season of his collegiate career with the Cougars. He played sparingly as a freshman, getting more action on the field as a sophomore.
Miller showed his athleticism in the seven minutes he won in Houston’s duel with Iowa. The highlight came with more than six minutes left in the first half, as Miller went past his defender and got to the paint before leaping into the air and throwing a one-handed dunk over a defender.
LORD HAVE MERCY
