Mike Thomas is feeling like a high school kid again. That’s a good thing on the court for the University of Hawai’i basketball team.
After missing all of last season with a wrist injury, Thomas opened the 2017-18 season – his senior campaign with the Rainbow Warriors – by leading Hawai’i to a 3-0 record and the championship of the Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic. The 6-foot-7 forward averaged 18.7 points and 7.0 rebounds per game, and was named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament.
“It’s tough, as an individual, you want those things,” Thomas said of his MOP trophy.
