Founded in 1904 in St. Paul, Minnesota, St. Thomas Tommies men's basketball blends century-old tradition with a fast-rising Division I profile. The program owns two NCAA Division III national championships (2011 and 2016), dozens of MIAC crowns, and in 2021 made the rare direct move to D-I to join the Summit League.

Guided by hometown head coach John Tauer, the Tommies built their reputation on discipline, shooting and relentless defense, producing signature March moments and a loyal, purple-clad following. Game days at on-campus Schoenecker Arena are intimate and electric, with the student section on its feet, the pep band rattling the rafters and a community that packs every seat. Historic showdowns with Saint John's helped shape the Tommie identity, and new Summit League battles keep the energy high all winter. Buy tickets from Vivid Seats to experience it live!
