Deon Stroud anticipated the next play and it led to the game-winning slam.
Stroud read the pass from New Mexico guard Saquan Singleton, intercepted it and took off on the fast break, not stopping until he leaped from the painted white Mountain West logo and uncorked a one-handed dunk to give the Fresno State Bulldogs a win over the New Mexico Lobos, 64-62 in overtime.
Fresno State trailed New Mexico 62-58 with 1:05 remaining in overtime and Singleton at the free throw line. Singleton missed his free throw and Isaiah Hill grabbed the rebound, raced down the court and tossed it down to Junior Ballard in the left corner.
Delvin told
Loop: Someone should give Offset for Christmas because it features Bajan and Caribbean folklore in a unique and dynamic way. It follows a young sticklicker (Kyle Harding) who encounters various beings like the Heart Man, Shaggy Bear and many others, with only a sugarcane as a weapon. My favorite part of the book is the action scenes. I spent a lot of time creating each set piece in the story so I am happy that the illustrators Tristan Roach (comic) and Hans Steinbach (novel) were able to bring them to life.
Offset is the perfect gift for readers 12 years old and up, due to mild language and violence.
