Thomas enjoys 2nd go-around

GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Dustin Thomas' second NCAA Tournament game went a lot better than his first.

Colorado made the 2014 NCAA Tournament when Thomas was a freshman for the Buffaloes, but it was a quick trip to Orlando, Fla.

Pittsburgh beat Colorado 77-48. Thomas played 18 minutes off the bench and had 1 point and 2 rebounds.

"Pittsburgh took it to us," Thomas said. "It wasn't too pretty."

Thomas, who transferred to the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville from Colorado and had to sit out last season, played a beautiful game Friday.

The 6-8 junior from Texarkana, Texas, had 13 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot to help the Razorbacks beat Seton Hall 77-71 in their NCAA Tournament opener and advance to play North Carolina on Sunday.
