Refs and commentators are COMPLETELY ignoring the most obvious travel ever right before a 3 pointer by FAU.
Anyone watching FAU/AZ?
- Thread starter Abugabby
- Start date
Vince Edwards used to do this all the time on a step back shot. I thought it was a travel but it's not. They changed the rule in the late 2000s. You can lift the pivot and stand on the other leg and pass or shoot. It definitely looks funny.
Still a ton of O in that game. 96-95 2OT. Love & Johnell Davis are unreal big moment players. Fun game if you like O.
FAU has a bunch of tough shot makers. Davis from Gary, IN had like +35 pts tonight.
Dude's a big-time player. How did that region guy escape CMP & Purdue??
Why wasn't HS 31.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 4.6 steals and 2.6 assists per game interesting to CMP?

live and die by Love, but also that Johnson did absolutely nothing in the 2nd half after having his way vs Edey and not much from Boswell
Could be. But you would think a kid on his charter schools robotics team would be a natural for @ Purdue?
Maybe he just wanted to play where it was warm most of the year and didnt want to be near home. Who knows?
Either way, would love to have him on the team now. Dude is a big shot maker.

Gary winters ...who could blame him?
But CMP prob didn't go after him as he had just landed his dream guard the year before in Morton.😎
I watched the last 5 plus OTs and there were a TON of missed travels.
It doesn't appear that we did. His best offers were Northern Illinois and FAU.
It very well may. But I think it’ll be interesting to see how he does this year and then once this group graduates. Can he recruit to be at the same level and sustain that success? Or did he catch lightning in a bottle with the guards he has now? Not saying he won’t pan out, but IU went after Archie after he had mid major success….not saying they’re the same, but obviously he looks pretty good so far.
Also, to get May, they’d have to kick Woody out, which would kinda look bad since he’s a former player and all.
Someone said that IU failed in the hiring process of Archie by not seeing how he could replicate what he did at Dayton at IU. Now that he is terrible at Rhode Island, makes you wonder if he got lucky at Dayton.
Hiring a coach requires they know how to recruit kids that fit a lot of holes. Can these kids be day 1 impact, can they be developed over a season or 2. Can they stick it out when things aren’t going their way. With the portal, can you go get kids to fill in gaps you have for a year or two. Finally, how do you manage expectations and make them cohesive.
Woody might have gotten lucky with the leftovers from Archie plus JHS. They had leadership in TJD and X to keep them together when they looked destined for disaster. Guess we will see how the rest of this season plays out.
The bigger question for May, does he want the job if offered? I mean, he is basically a god at FAU. He will probably have multiple big school offers that might have a longer runway than IU. Just saying.
I’m a bit confused about the talk about Dusty May. Yah he looks to be a good coach and will likely get offers by bigger name programs. But are you all really expecting IU to give Woodson the boot and offer May?
Seems like some IU fans want the boot. I don’t see how IU can do that to one of their former players. I wonder if they’ll do something like what Purdue did with painter and Keady? But does May even want the IU job?
Yes all good points and I agree, does he really even want the job? Pretty demanding and high stress if he doesn’t deliver right away. Would the IU fanbase let him stick around as long as he did at FAU before he took them to the F4 (I’d assume yes)?
If we talk about the FAU/AZ game, I’m not sure what May did to really beat AZ other than get the ball into Davis’s hands. I haven’t done any research into what type of game plan, if any, he had implemented or tried to.
Not sure the offensive game plan but liked their defensive scheme which was switching their guards on everything. They also had a lot of help defense when the Arizona guards would penetrate. Arizona shouldn’t have lost especially with the number of offensive rebounds.
For sure. AZ couldnt finish some bunnies and we got the full Caleb love experience as a viewer…bad shot selection but some big time shot making. He’s shooting the exact same % from 3 as last year…and Johnson was kind of a non factor. Boswell did not shoot well or play that well….But in reality, Davis was the man with his midrange game and could not be stopped.
he also doesn't make anyone better around him, it's a me only show
