Michigan State basketball is hosting Villanova for the first time in the Breslin Center on Friday night, and sophomore guard Jaden Akins put on a show for the fans in attendance after grabbing a steal and taking it all the way to the house for a monster, poster dunk.
After the play, which you can watch below, Twitter folks understandably lost their minds, and we put together the best reactions below:

Jaden Akins one-handed throwdown in transition just about blows the roof off this place. AJ Hoggard nearly jumped on the scorers table

Akins wasn't giving that ball up whatsoever. Breslin deafening after that breakaway dunk.
