Timeline
Freije's tremendous career as a Commodore was highlighted by his senior year campaign, where he led Vanderbilt to a 23–10 record and a trip to the 2004 NCAA Tournament as a 6 seed. During the regular season, Freije had four thirty-point games, 32 vs. Indiana on November 24, 31 vs. Tennessee Tech on December 13, 32 vs. Alabama on Feb 18 and 31 vs. North Carolina State on Mar. 21. The Commodores started the season 12–0 until losing at Kentucky on Jan. 10. Vanderbilt, however, got its revenge three weeks later at home with a 66–60 victory over the #5 ranked Wildcats at a rocking Memorial Gymnasium in a game where Freije scored 20 points and had 11 rebounds.
Vanderbilt would subsequently advance to the NCAA Tournament, and following a first round win over Western Michigan, Freije led the Commodores to the Sweet Sixteen following a stunning comeback victory over the 3 seed North Carolina State Wolfpack, a game where the Commodores rallied from an eleven-point deficit in the final 3:45 of the game [1]. Freije scored 31 points during the victory, including 11 during the final 3:28 of the game. During his 1st team All-SEC senior season, he posted averages of 18.4 ppg along with 5.4 rpg and was the established leader for a motivated Commodore team coming off an 11–19 season the year before.
Freije played for the Milwaukee Bucks summer league team in Las Vegas, Nevada. During his first game with the team, he finished second on the team in scoring with 11 points on 4–6 shooting (3–4 from three-point range) in an 88–79 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies [2]. Throughout the NBA's Summer League in Vegas, Freije shot 58.6% from the field and 60% from three-point range, en route to averaging 11.8 points per game for the Bucks, who finished 4–1 during Vegas Summer League play. Freije finished second on the team in scoring and blocked shots per game and first in field goal percentage and three-point field goal percentage in only 21.5 minutes per game.
