NET: UST stays at #116.
Torvik (T-Rank): UST stays at #110.
Game Day
North Central-MN (non-DI) @ St. Thomas, 1 CT
The Spread: No line
UST has played the Rams (2-9) every season since its move to Division I in 2021-22. The combined margin of victory in those games is 171 points, with a low of 25 and a high of 52. The Rams, 1-4 vs. Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) opponents, are led in scoring by 6-3 twins and senior guards Carmello McNeal (17.1 ppg) and Carrington McNeal (15.9 ppg). Last season Carrington was a National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) 1st Team All-American.
While wrapping up their non-conference slate, the Tommies are expected to extend their nation-best home-court winning streak to 25. In addition, a win would clinch their best non-conference record (11-4) since the move to Division I.
