Matt Thomas is really good.

[ISU42]

We've seen that senior laden teams can do very good things. Those three plus Burton are not chopped liver. I'm not stressed about next year, frankly. I'm looking forward to proving people wrong (Goodman). Yes, I know Monte could leave and I know we need some help inside.

Reading between the lines here it sounds like you expect Elite 8. Good deal.

Interesting stat I stumbled on.

Monte Morris leads the big twelve, playing 97.8% of the available minutes in conference games (he's say a total of 4).

Matt Thomas is second in minutes in conference games, at 91.1%. (Hield is third).

Raise your hand if you predicted THAT before the season started!

Huh. I figured Hield would be leading that category.

 

[Boxerdaddy]

Only shot 21 FTs this year but drilled 91% of them.

91% of the time it works every time.

They've had 4 double digit conference wins. Against Baylor he only played 28 minutes!

he started 2/4 to start the season (1/2 against Chicago State and Iowa), and has made 17 in a row since.

If we could find a 6 foot 10 freak who has no interest in scoring the ball only wants to rebound, play defense and block shots I truly think we have a chance to hang around top ten territory the entire year again. The coaching staff needs to hit the transfer market hard in search of this guy.

Officially jinxed.

There has to be one of those on the market first.

or in other words: He was 2-4 before Naz's injury coming off the bench. He's 17-17 as a starter.

Dennis Rodman or Ben Wallace have a son available?

Matt has such a great stroke. His rotation is almost violent. I bet his ball spins faster than anyone in America. So I think he just had to relax and ease up a bit to make a higher %. Put a healthy Naz on the floor with him next year and we will have something special, whether its Monte or Javkson at point.
