Dino Dunk Contest During College Hoops Game Ends In T-Rex-Sized Failure

To state the obvious: Dinosaurs and basketball do not mix.

Not like you needed any real evidence of this, but you got some anyway during Wednesday’s college hoops game between Gardner-Webb University and the University of Central Florida.

During a stoppage in play, the Knights held a dunk contest featuring participants wearing T-Rex outfits. And it ended in hilarious fashion, as one of the dino dunkers crashed and faceplanted into a miniature hoop.

Check out this catastrophe:

DINO DOWN!! ??
