I was more than a little concerned when Andre picked up those quick two fouls and headed to the bench -- thought it could have been a reprisal of the Marquette game when he only logged 15 minutes.
That said, I was very impressed when, at the 15 minute mark in the second half, he allowed Miami to get a couple layups uncontested instead of challenging them and potentially drawing his 3rd. Old Andre would not have shown that type of restraint, and it could have represented a pretty big momentum swing (especially if there was an and-1).
Instead, they closed within 12 points, Danny called a 30 second timeout and Andre stayed in the game for a critical juncture of the game. He finished with just 3 total fouls.
Hoping he stays on the floor more than 22 minutes in the national championship game.
