Ohio State's men's basketball team is one of the most exciting teams to watch throughout all of college basketball.
Looking for a must-see slam dunk? The Buckeyes have you covered.
Both Sam Thompson and Marc Loving were responsible for highlight-reel dunks in the Buckeyes' 80-56 blowout win over Maryland on Thursday night.
Thompson was responsible for the first big dunk of the game, which came at the 14:00 mark in the first half. Freshman D'Angelo Russell threw a perfect alley-oop inbounds pass to Thompson, who snatched the ball out of the air and threw down a thunderous two-handed slam.

The next dunk from Thompson received quite the reaction after it got waived off when he was called for an over-the-back foul.
ESPN analyst Jay Bilas referred to the call as "the worst call in the history of basketball."

The third and final must-see dunk from the game came with just under seven minutes remaining in the contest. Ohio State's Kam Williams missed a shot, but Marc Loving crashed the boards and threw down a huge two-handed follow-up dunk.
