PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Myles Colvin may have guaranteed himself a spot in the One Shining Moment montage when the NCAA Tournament concludes in April. The Purdue sophomore wing had one of the best dunks of March Madness on Thursday, throwing down a putback in impressive fashion.

With under three minutes to play in the first half of Purdue's first round game against High Point on Thursday, Colvin chased down a missed three-point attempt by Camden Heide. Colvin then collected the ball and threw it down, creating a highlight-reel moment early in the game.

Below is the replay of Colvin's big moment.

A few former Boilers, Rapheal Davis and Vincent Edwards, were also thoroughly impressed by the sophomore's dunk.
