March Madness 2025: Houston's Ja'Vier Francis throws down wild dunk over Florida's Thomas Haugh that made the perfect photos

Ja’Vaier Francis may have thrown down the dunk of the Final Four on Monday night, and he has the photos to prove it.

Francis, in the first half of Houston’s matchup with Florida in the national championship game at the Alamodome in San Antonio, threw down a ridiculous one-handed poster dunk over Florida’s Thomas Haugh. Francis caught a pass in the lane, took two steps and absolutely powered one down on Haugh without a second thought. There was nothing Haugh could do to stop him.

And, thanks to the number of photographers set up throughout the arena, the images the dunk produced were somehow better than video of the play itself. Just look:
