Acy grabbed the rebound and took a shot in traffic that he missed. But he got the ball right back and went up again and was fouled hard by Murray. Acy then made the free throw for a 54-49 lead.

"That was impressive," Perry Jones said. "I'm trying to be like him, trying to get all the rebounds, all the putback dunks I can."

The other highlight-worthy offensive rebound for Acy came in the first half, when he grabbed the ball and dunked over the back of 6-foot-8 Devon White. Then on the next Baylor possession, Acy hit a long jumper from just inside the 3-point line.

Acy had an all-around performance. He finished 11 of 16 shooting with five dunks, made all three of his free throws, had seven offensive rebounds and only one turnover in 35 minutes.

Asked his secret, Acy said "late nights in the gym."
