Elijah Thomas stays out of foul trouble, leads Tigers' resurgence

CLEMSON - Clemson basketball entered the year with high expectations after making a Sweet Sixteen last season. The Tigers’ schedule to begin ACC play was brutal, and after a 0-3 start and devastating losses to Florida State and NC State, fans were not happy.

Despite the slow start, there were still bright spots for Clemson, and one of those is senior center Elijah Thomas.

It has been a frustrating year for the big man and most of that stems from the fact that he struggles to stay in games due to foul trouble. It seems as if it is almost a given that Thomas will pick up two fouls in the first half, forcing him to sit out.
