St. Thomas Tommies Men's Basketball traces its roots to 1909 in St. Paul, Minnesota, where a proud purple tradition took flight. A Division III powerhouse turned Division I riser, the Tommies captured national championships in 2011 and 2016 and piled up 34 MIAC titles before making the historic jump. Guiding eras include longtime coach Steve Fritz and current head coach Johnny Tauer, whose teams have redefined what's possible on the Summit League stage.

Home games now rock inside the new Lee and Penny Anderson Arena, an on-campus showpiece with intimate sightlines, loud student sections, and a relentlessly upbeat game-day vibe. From echoes of the Tommie-Johnnie rivalry to fresh DI moments, the energy is unmistakable. Buy tickets from Vivid Seats to experience it live!
