With the Razorbacks up 69-49, Brazile beat his man off the dribble and cut to the basket. As he made a leap, he cocked his arm back before slamming home a vicious dunk.

The play set the crowd in a frenzy.

Twitter took notice as well.

THIS POSTER IS UNREAL.

Arkansas (3-0) is ninth in the Associated Press poll and began the season without projected NBA first-round pick Nick Smith Jr. (knee).

On Wednesday, the team was led by Ricky Council IV with 19 points. Brazile recorded a double-double off the bench with 13 points and 10 rebounds.

The highlights are bound to continue for these Razorbacks. The team made the past two Elite Eights and announced a huge reinforcement coming next year this week. Five-star recruit Baye Falle committed to Arkansas on Tuesday. Last week, five-star prospect Layden Blocker announced his intention to play for the Razorbacks next year.

With plays like the one made by Brazile, the seat will be warm when both arrive.
