Oladipo

How frustrated do you think Crean was with Oladipo after he fouled a gopher shooting a 3 pointer for the third time in the game?

Crean just put his head down and shook it. If you read his lips (Oladipo's) after the call there were a few naughty things coming out of it.

I'm guessing not very - Oladipo's defensive strength arises from extreme aggressiveness. He got away with as many fouls as he was called for - those that he got away with ended up being steals/buckets or "missed" shots. While it's not smart to foul the shooter, fact is he constantly was altering the shot because of his intensity. If I'm Crean, knowing that Oladipo remains the best all-around player on that team, I tell him to keep up the intensity.

+1...he got away with more than were called against him.

I think Oladipo had the 3rd best individual performance against us all year after #1 Plumlee, #2 Curry,#4 Appling? I have a feeling Trey Burke will take the number 2 or 3 spot after Thursday. Dude's impressive.
