NCAA Division III basketball player Blaise Meredith was able to save two points on Wednesday night, but he wasn’t able to save face … his.
During North Central College’s matchup against Augustana, Meredith attempted to pull off a chase-down block on Chrishawn Orange’s layup attempt.
He was able to get a piece of the shot, but Meredith also slammed his face into the underside of the backboard in the process.
OMG! I can't stop watching this.. 😂. A block gone wrong…#SportsCenterNotTop10
North Centrals Blaise Meredith tries to chase down a block and gets punished by the backboard. Don't worry he was ok and went back into the game moments later.
