Scores 26 points in 3OT loss Thomas recorded 26 points (8-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-11 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 95-85 3OT loss to Virginia Tech.

Impact Thomas led the Cavaliers in scoring in this contest, even ahead of star freshman Thijs De Ridder, but he didn't contribute much in other categories. Don't be surprised if Thomas delivers most of his value in the coming games as a scoring weapon. He's scored in double digits in three of his last six games, and this 26-point output might be the spark he needs to get things back on track. It was also his best scoring output of the season.
