Oskar awarded some time

Congrats to him for providing some quality minutes in the first half and putting up some points tonight.

Interesting seeing him get some time.
Maybe the type of guy who subs into the game in the first half of a tournament game?
Coaches do interesting things if they think someone can shoot.
Curious move.

I think it was mainly bc wolf was out and minny doesn't have a stud center so he can play a small ball 5 and open up the middle

Tonight was mainly due to Woolfolk missing the game due to a death in the family. However, if Oscar can continue to hit shots then he would provide Pike with a bit more sub flexibility for the front court.
 
The kid is limited. In the right spots he can help. Also seems like a pro. No time then number called comes in and produces. Also seems like a good teammate riding the pine. Great program guy.
That's what made me so pumped about Oskar tonight. How can you not root for this guy?!?!

Basically recruited over and left for dead. Doesn't complain. Teammates all seem to love him. Positive attitude. Always ready. Comes in and gives maximum effort. Finally gets a chance in a real game not garbage time and makes the difference.

Huge effort tonight and he deserved this
 
Oskar got extended time because the staff was upset with Dean’s D and rebounding. Sends a message that you are going to play Oskar at the 5
Dean was having a hard time with the high ball screen. There was one possession where was late getting back after hedging. Minnesota missed, grabbed an offensive rebound, reset and then tried another high ball screen and Dean then left too early and ended up giving the ball handler an open lane to the basket.

Pretty sure they gave him the hook not too long after that

They're up by 30. Of course he's going to play

I mean yea but you’re kind of ignoring the fact that he first checked into the game when we were only up 4 in the first half.
This. Oskar gave big minutes when the game was still in doubt. It wasn't a garbage time cameo only
 
Always be ready to play and he made the most of it. You can tell he has a nice stroke in practice, but he just hasn't hit shots in his limited chances, but they just fell tonight. Good for him and for us. Don't think he necessarily plays regularly from here on out, but probably will get a few more chances and if he can hit some shots, it'll be a very nice contribution. 13 points in 18 minutes and more points than he had all season to this point (6).
