Thomas gives Tigers energy they need on defense
Playing basketball for Brad Brownell is a little different than most college coaches. You have to be willing to play a little defense, too.
No one on Clemson’s basketball team does that better than center Elijah Thomas, who had seven of the Tigers’ 10 blocks in a 64-37 win over Wake Forest on Sunday.
“Everyone likes scoring. That’s the new era for basketball now, but Brad Brownell basketball is defense. If we want to win, we’ve got to abide by his rules and play defense better.”
