Travel or no travel on Keith Appling's drive for layup?

If you ever wondered if a player could pick up his dribble from outside the 3-point arc and get to the hoop for a layup without being called for traveling, he can. Keith Appling did it in Tuesday night's overtime win at Iowa, and the no-call didn't sit well with Iowa fans or Fran McCaffery; in fact, McCaffery was hit with a technical foul. ESPN commentator Jay Bilas said this about the play: "It's hard to believe, but I think that would have been a walk in the NBA."

Let's just say, Appling covered a lot of ground without a dribble.

Here's some Twitter reaction to the play:

Keith Appling with the Euro-Asia-South America step. Maybe the Uncalled Travel of the Year. Three steps and a carry.

I don't think that one was a travel. It was just ugly.

Not a travel, Fran. Two big steps and a half.
