WATCH: Indiana Freshman Thomas Bryant With The Power Dunk Over Defender

Much like the football season, college basketball teams will often schedule soft opponents at the start of the season so that they can work out the kinks before they play the real competition. It also gives freshman a chance to make a pretty strong first impression--kind of like the one Indiana freshman Thomas Bryant made against Eastern Illinois Friday night.

He finished the game with 11 points and nine rebounds, but it will be this basket that people talk about till the next time the Hoosiers take the court. Yeah, he got a foul in the process, but it was worth it. IU went on to win 88-49.

Put it on a poster! @IndianaMBB freshman Thomas Bryant dunks over Eastern Illinois' big man! #BTNStandout https://t.co/cAbfLNROby
