Anyone criticizing Matt's game last night has <0 basketball IQ.
Matt did all the little things- rebounded, assists and his defense was great. Sure there was 1 or 2 three point shots he could have made an extra pass, but Matt is a shooter and it is nice to see he has the confidence to take the shots.

I approve of all posts that start with "See". Plus I think Matt Thomas has hero potential.
Best moment was when he rebounded his own FT when his 4 teammates were talking with Prohm on the sideline.
Matt had some poor shot selection, but he also played with confidence and generally did everything he was supposed to do.
He's a solid basketball player, and last year there were teams that made the tourney as 8 or 9 seeds and Matt would have been one of their best three or so players.

There was at least one long two with a hand in his face he had no business shooting, and maybe one or two other not great shots.
There was only one shot I thought he shouldn't have taken. The pull up two from the right corner in the first half. I thought all of his threes were fine.
Oh. Ok. We're judging it based on one bad shot. At least we're consistent and do that with all of our players.
To be fair, it could be post-basketball season or pre-season basketball practice season or, even, summer league season.
Way more confident in his decision making too, I know it was exhibition but hopefully that play continues....
I hope so, this has been a problem for Matt throughout his two years here. He came out in his first game last year against Alabama and looked great and incredibly confident and then within a few games was back to looking tentative. As I've said on here before, I think Matt has a lot more to offer on the offensive end than just being a spot up three point shooter and I think he will be one guy who will play better out of Fred's offense.
Niang had a pretty crappy night.. But people question Matt Thomas missing a few threes even though he played a pretty solid game..
Think how good you have to be when 11 pts 9 boards and 7 assists with no TOs is a crappy night
1-6 from three is pretty bad. And I don't think niang considers 11 points that good against a division 2 school either
... and it doesn't even need to be about basketball. We can talk about his abs and arms, you know, for the ladies of CF.
Good player, just needs to find his niche. He's always been a great wing rebounder. Seems his D has improved from horrible to average...which is better than Naz. Passing is good, handle is good enough. He has always had the talent to be a solid player or better, he has just lacked the confidence.
