March 17, 1996: 3-seed Texas Tech’s Darvin Ham breaks the backboard on a dunk during a 92-73 second round NCAA Tournament win over 6-seed North Carolina.

The Ham Slam baby!!! #WreckEm 👆👆

@CodyGoolsby4 And then we lost a bs game to Georgetown thanks to 1000 free throws

@BenjaminGolan My dad was doing radio broadcast for Tech for this game. He watched it live in person! Wish I could see him from this clip, but it moves too quickly.

@dr_pickls Watched in the Gordon Hall dorm room. Great memories

Remember exactly where I was when this happened.

Ham played for one of the Piston championships With Ben Wallace

@HamMuse

That’s my coach !

@ChrisCantMiss_

Ham’s dunk is one of the reasons for the changes in backboard design 🏀🏀🏀
