In the last seven games he is averaging 6.1 points and, more importantly, 6.8 rebounds a game.
On Monday, he continued a line of positivity as he talked about the teams optimism through adversity being the one thing it has going for it right now. Honestly, it's a line we've heard on repeat from Thomas, so, take it for what you will.
But he also delivered some goods about his best friend, Hamady Ndiaye, a center who played for Rutgers. They are both from Senegal, both came to the US and went to the same high school.
"We grew up together. Our whole lifetime we have been together...I always talk to him on the phone and stuff."
Thomas went on to say that the first time UC played Rutgers it was the first time he and Ndiaye faced each other on the court, despite spending so much time together as basketball stars in Africa. He says even on the playground they always played on the same team.
(Sidenote, Thomas is 6-11 with a soft touch from the perimeter, Ndiaye is 7-foot....who in the hell allowed these two guys to play on the same side when they were picking teams on the court! Did nobody step up and say, 'Ugh, how bout we split up the two guys over 6-10'?)
