Victor Oladipo was having a pedestrian day, all things considered, before he loudly announced his presence with a fastbreak 360 slam in the waning moments of Indiana's win over Illinois in the Big Ten tourney quarterfinals Friday afternoon. Despite finishing the game with a double-double (12 points, 11 rebounds), the junior star struggled early and wasn't much of a factor until the second half. And then, came the dunk. Watch it here and see some of the Twitter reaction to it in this post.

Victor Oladipo just did a star turn, literally and figuratively, with that 360 slam. Indiana has the eye of the tiger.
