Oakland (MI) guard drops defender with a dazzling crossover

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaab-the-dagger/oakland-guard-drops-defender-with-a-dazzling-crossover-204956387.html

The move Oakland's Kahlil Felder pulled off Wednesday night isn't in that class, but it's one of the better crossovers we've seen in a while.

When Youngstown State forward Bobby Hain switched onto Felder after a high ball screen, the Oakland guard recognized the mismatch and tried to take the 6-foot-10 junior off the dribble. Felder drove left and then crossed over through his legs back to the right, toppling Hain and freeing himself for a wide-open layup.

Felder's crossover was the signature moment of a 20-point, 10-assist night for the sophomore guard in an 82-71 Oakland victory. The Golden Grizzlies are now only one game behind first-place Valparaiso in the Horizon League standings, and Felder's emergence as the team's leading scorer and best facilitator is a big part of that.

While the victory was nice, earning the No. 1 spot on SportsCenter's top plays segment was also a special moment for the 5-foot-9 Felder.
