Is he good enough that he'll be able to put games away at the free-throw line in the final minute the way Diener & Novack used to? He's a walk-on--I know he's on scholarship this season--but he's no Frozena, right? I see he shot 83% from the line in his two years as a regular at South Dakota. Hopefully, he can play in crunch time.
Watching all those missed free-throws in the last minute or so today was painful. And 23-37 overall.
Seven of them in last two minutes. Nine in last three minutes.
Thomas is next year, so maybe. Today it was everyone missing, with Vander the worst at 3 for 8.
I think DJO hit the front rim 3 times. He is not a clutch free throw shooter. I'd rather have Mayo on the line.

Why would you even ask if he's like Frozena?
Do you think Frozena would have earned a D1 scholarship, like Thomas did out of high school?
He averaged double digits at the D1 level, before he came to MU. I know it was low D1, but Frozena doesn't average double digits in low D3.

Rob could easily average double digits at a D3 school, no question. TC had a former D3 guard as a walk on that opted out of dressing for games.
I was making the point that he came to MU as a walk-on, but from everything I've read about him, he can actually play and contribute at this level. He's not just here to help out during practice--like other recent walk-ons. My question is whether he's good enough to be on the floor when the game in on the line in the final minutes, and make some clutch free-throws. I sure hope so.

Players on the bench should be required to offer them, but only wussies should accept them.
Blue must've learned that technique by watching Crean give the cold tit to opposing coaches after games.
Shooters like Jake Thomas are a welcome addition to any team. We are lucky to have him. He will help Mu win next year!

Jim: What did you ever play you little dick head?
Tom: I was on the end of the bench in HS basketball.
Jim and John: I can't believe my sister has anything to do with you.
