Monte with 25 points tonight and sat most of the 4th quarter. Good lord, I can't to see him and Thomas in the same backcourt next year.
The thing I love about Monte is he could score 30 every night if he wanted to but he doesn't have a score first mindset, he has a play maker mindset. He is the perfect kid for the future of the point guard position at Iowa State
Rashad Vaughn put up 51 points and 15 rebounds tonight. OH EM GEE

Big game in Wisconsin tonight with Onalaska vs LaCrosse Aquinas pitting Matt Thomas vs Bronson Koenig tonight.
Halftime is tied up at 30 points. Thomas has 6 points; Koenig has 5 points.
Thomas has at least two air balls early on. Seemed like he was trying to do too much and forced a few shots. By my tally Thomas is 2-4 FT, 2-7 FG being 0-2 from behind the arc. Also, has 3 assists, at least 3 rebounds (2 offensive) and also 2 turnovers.
Onalaska loses by 2 to Aquinas. Matt Thomas got the ball w/ 7 seconds left on the in-bounds, was double teamed immediately and lost the ball trying to go through the defenders.
Thomas finished with 18 points but never got into a shooting rhythm. 6-10 FT, 6-19 FG w/ 0-5 beyond the arc. Also had 2 blocks, 3 assists and at least 5 rebounds. Also had 5 turnovers.
Wisconsin commit Bronson Koenig finished with 8 points for Aquinas. Final was 46-44.
So in the second half Matty Ice's team had 14 points - he had 12 of those? Wowza

i think maybe Badger fans are sensitive about not getting Thomas and are looking for validation that they he's not that good/ they're guy is better.
MT was not considered as a high Div.I recruit after his freshman season. Koenig was. Bo and TJ were both on Konig early, but Wisc. didn't really go after MT until late in his Jr. season. Probably had a little affect on his decision.
