I've seen a lot of players -- from Michael Jordan to Blake Griffin -- hit their heads on a rim or backboard while dunking or going for a block. I can't recall ever seeing a player hit their chin on the rim!
Not only did 6-1 Xavier commit KyKy Tandy bust his chin on the rim during a game on Tuesday night, he did it while posterizing a 7-2 center.
The opposing team responded with 10 straight points after seeing their center, Jamarion Sharp, get dunked on and kept UHA from scoring another bucket for six minutes. Thanks to a game-high 33 points from the taped-up Tandy, they rallied back and pulled off a 62-56 win to remain undefeated.
Here is a great photo of the dunk followed by some viral-worthy videos.

Just got this from @TandyDekeyvan. I think it’ll take more than stitches to slow him down. @BleacherReport @SLAMonline @espn @SportsCenter @XavierMBB @CoachSteeleXU pic.twitter.com/3hQcDJFUUz
