During UTEP's current three-game win streak, there's been a huge X-factor that has been able to lift UTEP out of the dark pits of what once was a 12-game losing streak.
What is it?
In this nice stretch of win column fillers, Thomas is averaging 15 points per game, 10.7 rebounds per game, and is 18-for-26 from the floor during the modest winning streak. Although Thomas is bringing much more to the table then points, rebounds, and a nice shooting percentage from the floor.
“With another summer of lifting and getting stronger and continuing to work on his skill development which all of our guys do, I think Paul’s got a real chance one day to be a very, very fine player,” Floyd said.
