After dominating Kentucky, Chris Silva gets top play on SportsCenter

South Carolina basketball forward Chris Silva dropped several hammers on Kentucky Tuesday night.

And one got national attention.

His dunk on Wenyen Gabriel was SportsCenter’s No. 1 play for Tuesday. South Carolina knocked off the No. 18 Wildcats 76-68 for its first regular season win against a ranked team since Florida last season.

Silva finished with 27 points and eight rebounds, hitting 9-of-17 shots and 9-of-13 free throws.
