Oct 21, 2016

It was just another day at practice when Kennesaw State forward Jordan Jones turned a missed dunk into an amazing trick shot.

Jones,  a redshirt sophomore who led the Owls in blocks per game last season, went up for a windmill dunk that hit the back of the rim and ricocheted into another hoop cross court.

Jones, of Alpharetta, played high school basketball at St. Francis High School.

The miscue was filmed by assistant coach Stephen Cox and drew the attention of ESPN's Top 10 reel.

The Owls open the season Nov. 11 against the Iowa Hawkeyes in Iowa City.
