Willie Cauley-Stein sparks Kentucky run with rim-rattling dunk image

This is why it's best to just move out of Willie Cauley-Stein's way.

In what was a tightly contested half against the eighth-seeded Bearcats, Kentucky's 7-footer sparked a nice run that gave the Wildcats a 31-24 lead heading into the break. With less than five minutes to play, Kentucky led 56-43 in their NCAA Tournament game.

That spark was ignited by a powerful dunk over Quadri Moore that nearly brought down the house.

Moore questioned his entire life after that dunk.

That's a future first-round pick, people.
