Baylor bigs: Flo, `Everyday Jon’ help make Bear guards great
Associated PressThe AP Top 25 men’s college basketball poll is back every week throughout the season! “He was like I feel like I know you from somewhere,” said Thamba, who was already at Baylor when Tchamwa Tchatchoua transferred there following a freshman season at UNLV. But those guards know they wouldn’t be where they are without the interchangeable 245-pound post players: the 6-foot-10 junior Thamba and and 6-8 sophomore Tchamwa Tchatchoua, who earned the nickname “Everyday Jon” for his work ethic and nonstop energy since his arrival. “The whole experience of filling out the brackets and the anticipation of the first game, all of that stuff, I never really knew it until I actually experienced it.” Tchamwa Tchatchoua was born in Cameroon and spent two years at the NBA Global Academy in Canberra, Australia, where he first played organized basketball. “I just felt like it really meant something.” Tchamwa Tchatchoua said at times he just sits down and thanks God for an “amazing journey,” and how things worked out to get him here.
