Kentucky looks ready to dominate college basketball again after Tuesday night's convincing 74-63 win over defending champ Duke. Late in that statement victory, Wildcats freshman guard Jamal Murray threw a gorgeous alley-oop to senior forward Alex Poythress.
Then things almost got really, really ugly.

Here's the play in question. Pretty sweet, right?
Wait a minute: Poythress does a little double-take there at the end after the flush. What's up with that? Let's take a closer look.

Oh, God. Like, good lord does that look awful. The photo atop this post shows yet another angle.
Poythress, fortunately, was not seriously hurt, and the Kentucky Twitter account even joked about the play post-game.
Before we take off, chew on this. @AlexTheGreat22 did. pic.twitter.com/ZCCTq0bFd2— Kentucky Basketball (@KentuckyMBB) November 18, 2015
We -- and especially Poythress -- are lucky that alley-oop didn't have a much more gruesome ending.
