Voting Open For Week 2 Now Until March 25 at www.facebook.com/DunksoftheYear

CHICAGO (3/22/13) -- University of Detroit Mercy senior forward Doug Anderson's acrobatic reverse alley-oop vs. Temple on Feb. 28 has been nominated for the Pepsi MAX Dunk of the Year, Intersport announced. Each week for two weeks, four rim-rattling dunks will be nominated and the top two vote getters from each week will move on to the finals. Voting for Dunk of the Year takes place at the official Facebook page (www.facebook.com/dunksoftheyear). The four finalists will then compete in a week long Finals Round to determine the Dunk of the Year, which will be announced during the 2013 College Slam Dunk & 3-Point Championships, airing at 7:00 p.m. ET, April 4, on ESPN.

Anderson has been throwing down magnificent dunks his entire collegiate career and this powerful reverse alley-oop was no different. Late in the first half vs. Temple, the senior ran a perfect two-man game with point guard P.J. Boutte. Boutte used an Anderson screen at the top of the key while Anderson slipped to the basket. Boutte lofted a pass toward the hoop and Anderson did the rest. He seemed to pause in mid-air as he reached out for the ball, turned and slammed home the reverse finish.

The second Pepsi MAX Dunk of the Year semifinal pits Anderson against three other unbelievable dunks, including: a powerful posterization by Louisville's Chane Behanan, a stylish alley-oop finsih by Kansas' Ben McLemore and a twisting one-handed jam by Oklahoma State's Markel Brown.
