Lol Scott meet NCHoosier...I suspect you guys can trade lawn maintenance tips lol! All seriousness it would have been an incredible feat of athleticism but he did miss it so I don’t know why it gets brought up over ones that were thrown down but at this point it’s lore is up there with the Smart shot...so maybe a statue outside the Hall is coming lol!! I wouldn't consider myself old since I am only 49 years old but never got excited on seeing dunks or cross over dribbles. One most of the cross overs are carrying thee ball so it shouldn't even be part of the gme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, its the fact that Vic even got up to the ball. For Hulls being one of the best shooters ever at IU, i think he thought he was Finkle for a minute.....or was it Einhorn?? 🤨🤔 But that pass was about 4ft wide left.

I will admit I hate the carrying the ball that goes on. It’s one thing to do a hesitation move where you keep your hand above the ball but you see it all the time in the nba and trickling down where kids put their hand below the ball as if they are stopping dribbling and picking it up to pass and then take off dribbling. That’s my biggest gripe but I’ve given up on it. It’s pointless to waste my breath and I’ve accepted the rules have just changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trace it back to Scoonie Penn era and always said even I could leave a defender's jock on the floor if allowed to carry like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 Jalen Coleman Lands in transfer portal again. Leaving Depaul. He has to be one of the first kids to be in the doctorate degree section of the transfer portal. I get wanting to leave Depaul but man....just always curious if he never left Cathedral and stuck around in state what would have happened.

I assume this off topic line of the thread is due to my posting of the missed Vic dunk in another thread as one of my all time favorite moments. To me, its not the missed dunk. Its everything about the moment in time. The pass was so off and Vic was in the air incredibly long and he reached back and just couldn't get it to go down. Had this almost dunk gone in, i think the internet would have broken, and they would have stormed the court right then and there. There are allot of "Almost" moments in sports but this one has always stood out to me. Vic also happens to be one of my favorite all time players and this missed moment was one that stands out when i think of him at IU. But you are correct, it was just a missed dunk.
