I don’t know much about slam dunks. Truth be told, I don’t really care for dunks. A thing of beauty to me is a mid-range jumper or a perfectly executed bounce pass through traffic. Still, if we poured this Red Wolves basketball season into the sieve, Caleb Fields’ slamtastic dunk on Coastal Carolina was as close to a season highlight as we’re gonna get.

It was the Dunk That Shattered the Red Wolves 10 Game Losing Streak. It was a dunk made on a broken wrist. It was a dunk that followed an ally-oop drunk from Fields to Izayiih Nelson, but it was Fields’ dunk that brought the F’N Bank Arena to its feet.

Caleb Fields just got everyone out of their seats with a slam that I’m pretty sure you’ll see later tonight on our sportscasts. Sheesh.

It was a slam dunk dedicated to the litany of injuries that have plagued this Red Wolves team, powered by the frustration of season of double-digit losses. May the image of Mighty Caleb Field’s sailing through the sky, ball high in hand, a spitting image of the great god Apollo bringing down the Sun to shine upon all mankind, serve as moment that is seared into our collective fan-minds when history recalls this horrendous season.
