Toppin, who scored 22 points on 9-of-10 shooting, said it was "for sure" his greatest dunk, but he might not attempt such a dunk again in a close game after coach Anthony Grant talked to him. Dayton led by 11 after the dunk, but Georgia Southern trimmed the deficit to one point twice in the final three minutes.
“He said make sure the next time you look at the clock and see the situation we were in,” Toppin said. “I didn’t even know it was a close game. He just said be mindful of the score and the time.”

The Atlantic 10 needs a “most entertaining player” award at the end of the year so we can give Obi Toppin an accolade for all these nasty dunks this season.
