Deep Thoughts, by Buzz Studley
St. Thomas' final two regular season games aren't only important for Summit League Tournament seeding purposes. Yes, the NCAA Tournament in their first season of eligibility is THE GOAL (that has not changed), but short of that the NIT also very much is in play. If the Toms (21-8) finish with 23-25 wins, they'll be a viable candidate for college basketball's second most prestigious tournament. And who knows, maybe even a home game in their shiny new arena?
That said, that's a distant Plan B. Make Sioux Falls, SD, your own.
