Reliable and dependable are the two words used to describe No. 4 Baylor men’s basketball senior forward Flo Thamba, who started all 30 games in the 2021 national championship run for the Bears. The four-year journey has been a learning experience, with Thamba playing behind some stellar talent and waiting to anchor down the big-man position.
“I’ve learned a lot about myself,” Thamba said. “One of the biggest things I learned was just my ability to be a leader on this team.
