Sideline Scholars: Thomas to lead AU to '05 NCAAs
It's been a four-year struggle for recognition of unfulfilled potential and glimpses of stardom for AU forward Jason Thomas. But his 23-point, 11-rebound performance on Saturday as AU knocked off national power Vermont may be the late turning point in his career. Say what you will about honorable mention All-American Taylor Coppenrath's 22 points and 15 rebounds, or point guard T.J. Sorrentine's 27 points, or AU sophomore Andre Ingram's 19 points on four back-breaking three-pointers. But Jason Thomas was clearly the best player on the court Saturday.
