after OU I said he was an average player, and not a very good shooter. I was wrong. Boy am I glad I was wrong 
Apology to Matt Thomas.
- Thread starter ISUTex
- Start date
He's a difference maker off the bench if he can continue like he's been playing. We need him spacing the floor.
Also... I love how excited his teammates get when he's making shots. You can tell they like him and want him on the floor.

Surprised this type of thread took even this long.
eeeeeaaasssyyyy.....it's one game. Happy for the kid, really happy....it's one game.
i predict by the end of the night....a thread gets started debating whether Matt is in fact the next Larry bird.

It was awesome to see how fired up the bench and other players were when Thomas was draining those. You could see how much they were all pulling for him.
Jordan shot 27% from 3 in '92 and 31% in '91, Thomas was shooting 27% before today and is now at 31%, pretty damn good comparison if you ask me.
I predict the number of threads telling everyone to pump the brakes on Thomas by those acting like a-holes about him earlier will continue as well.
Yeah, but he played well at OSU, and against WVU. More like 3 pretty decent games in a row from him.
I don't think any thing has changed. We have six that will always be in the rotation. Thomas' and Nader's play in the first half will warrant how much they play in the second. That said, he looks to have turned a corner and may be pushing for extended minutes.
Ha accurately calling out his game, saying the same things established announcers on tv were saying is being an ahole?
sure. You seem like the type of guy who was probably trying to felate himself while he watched Thomas shoot today...soooo....
Yes...brakes need to be pumped on that he's arrived now.....but absolutely celebrate how he did, I am....I'm singing the kids praises. Drink a beer Francis.
The reactions from our bench is telling of what these guys see every day in practice.Everyone knows this kid can shoot its a matter of transferring it into game play.
