MATT ****ING THOMAS
- Thread starter CYCLNST8
- Start date
I would think Prohm will likely bring Naz or Burton off the bench as a 6th man, while starting Bowie or possibly another transfer/big....I don't see us starting 4 guys under 6'5 in the B12....
Agree to disagree I suppose. I think that lineup would be lethal offensively
Except 3 guys were 6'6" or above that started. Four guys below 6'4" isn't a good starting line up.
We also had Ejim, Kane, who was a 6'4 manchild guard, and Hogue, who had his best rebounding year too.
Great and interesting link; thanks for that. It should provide a little more interest/talking points to this game (if not already 'interesting' enough). Great job Matt, all year. this Team can do it. Gotta believe!

As iSU42 said, it would put us at a disadvantage defensively and rebounding wise. We will be in a unique position with depth next year, and I see Burton or Naz as a "Jaysean Paige" role off the bench with instant offense and energy, and should be a guaranteed B12 6th man of year...but this is all my opinion, we shall wait to see what Prohm thinks is best next year
I agree. I kept hoping they'd run some plays to free him up, especially when Georges was out. They certainly identified him and rarely left him unless we forced them to help.
YES. I was yelling at the TV the whole game that he wasn't getting the ball. he touched the ball twice in the first 35 minutes of the game, and hit two threes those two times. I couldn't tell if it was Virginia's defense against him or what.
But man, he had an amazing season. Enough so that it gives me much more hope for next year. Thank you Matt!
Monte comes back, and the backcourt of Matt, Monte and Naz will be the best in the country, and no one can convince me otherwise.
Kinda leading towards Monte coming back. I just don't see him as a first rounder right now. Needs another year in the weight room.
Imo we can't forget Jackson. It will be a hell of a foursome, plus I think one of Babb or Long surprises.
Matt stepped up huge this year. Honestly last year I didn't trust him to take the shot. This year I wanted the ball in his hands more.
Still not sure he has that dagger killer instinct like Naz did before his injury. Disappeared in the final minutes several times when we need a big shot.
But kudos to Matt for stepping up huge this year. If he keeps improving in the off season he could be huge next year.
