J.P. Tokoto Creates YouTube Moment at NCAA Tournament Practice
J.P. Tokoto of Menomonee Falls and the North Carolina Tar Heels were eliminated Sunday from the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Tokoto wowed fans at the open practice with a dunk.
North Carolina was eliminated from the NCAA men’s basketball tournament on Sunday by Kansas, 70-58.
But Menomonee Falls native and Carolina freshman J.P. Tokoto managed to leave his own impression on the tournament, despite scoring only two points in nine total minutes over two games.
During an practice open to fans, Tokoto sent fellow freshman Joel James — at 6 feet, 10 inches — to stand in front of the basket, then leaped and dunked over him.
