No game wrap-ups today. Road travel back to Minnesota shortly.
What I can mention is Denver beat St. Thomas 82-80, the teams' second thriller this season. Difference in the game, you ask?
Free throws.
Denver -- 17 for 20 (80%)
Tommies -- 8 for 20 (40%)
Decent chance we'll have a Round 3 in Sioux Falls.

ST. THOMAS (21-8 overall, 12-14 ATS)
NET: Tommies drop 6 spots to #114
Torvik (T-Rank): Tommies remain at #118
