Trying to trim down a season worth of highlights into a "Top 10 Plays" is tougher than you think. You need to weigh the excitement and the drama, especially if the play happened in crunch time.

Play Number Ten hit home for Tiger J.T. Tiller. The Georgia native is tenacious on a mid-court steal and finishes in style with the two-handed flush.

Play Number Nine comes courtesy Zaire Taylor. In the little apple of Manhattan, Kansas, he throws down the big dunk. Taylor posterizes the Kansas State defender.

Play Number Eight is Justin Safford against the Stetson Hatters. He sniffs out a layup and serves out a dish of denial.

Play Number Seven belongs to Laurence Bowers against Nebraska. It might be garbage time in the game, but this one handed dunk is a gem.

"To be honest, I saw little Cookie Miller under the goal. If he would have stayed there I would have tried to dunk on his head, like dunk over him," Bowers said.

Play Number Six takes the team concept into account. In typical Tiger style the defense leads to offense. Off the steal, the fast break flows from Keith Ramsey to Marcus Denmon to DeMarre Carroll for the fantastic finish.

Play Number Five belongs to Ramsey. The junior gives a major swat and then he lets loose on the celebration.

"He celebrated, but he doesn't celebrate like he did after that block," Bowers said.

"I don't celebrate. So, I don't know what I was doing. I was screaming most of the time," Ramsey said.

"Keith was really sitting on that one. I knew he blocked it like five seconds before he blocked that shot," Taylor said.

Play Number Four is more rejection from Ramsey. In Georgia, he chases the Bulldog down from behind and blocks the ball away.

"He was way in front of half court and I was behind him and caught up to him. I think it changed the game around," Ramsey said.

A recount of the votes and Kimmie English gets to share the four spot. After all, he flew in from nowhere to knock away the Nebraska shot.

"The Nebraska one was huge, too. He came from the end of the court pretty much. It kind of looked like Keith Ramsey a little bit," Bowers said.

Play Number Three belongs to Taylor. On the road in Texas, he hits the bucket and gets fouled. It puts the Tigers up two and seals a win in the Lone Star State.

"Now, that I think about it that might be one of my favorites. I finally proved to coach that I can make that shot. He's on me all the time about that shot," Taylor said.

"It was a crucial part of the game and he made it. Big time shot," Bowers said.

Play Number Two is an alley-oop. Matt Lawrence's pass to Laurence Bowers is off the mark, but Bowers makes the one-handed snag and stuff.

"It was a horrible pass. Horrible," Bowers said.

"It went to his left hand and he had to extend and he showed tremendous athleticism," Taylor said.

"When he threw it behind me it was hard for me to adjust to it, but somehow I stuck my hand out there and got it. I think it was crazy though," Bowers said.

And the top play of the season, an easy decision. With only seconds left Taylor drops in the deuce against the Jayhawks. The game winner sends Mizzou Arena into a frenzy.

"I had to add a little suspense to the situation," Taylor said. "I figured no better way to win the game than to make it bounce up high. I think that was harder than making it right through the net."

Now, even though the guys all agree the game winner against Kansas is the play of the year, Taylor does not think it will finish there. He says more is still to come in the postseason.
