St. Thomas in the Torvik (T-Rank) Rankings
UST (1-2) remains #153 in the rankings.
Tuesday Reach the Summit Results
Iona 105, Kansas City 91: Iona shot a blistering 14 of 26 from 3 (53.8%), while the Roos (1-2) made just 4 of 25 (16%) from long distance. CJ Evans paced the Roos with 23 points, 5 assists, and 3 steals. Jayson Petty added 18 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 steals.
North Dakota 128, Mayville State (non-Division 1) 58: The Fighting Sioux (1-3) picked up their first win with five players scoring in double figures. Freshmen Curtis twins (Micah & Marley) from St. Louis Park (MN) combined for 41 points, 14 rebounds, 5 steals (all by Marley), and 5 blocks (all by Micah).
North Dakota State 90, Cal State Northridge 68: NDSU (1-2) also picked up win #1 of the season behind 22 points and 3 assists from Damari Wheeler-Thomas. Trailing by 3 at the half, the Bison outscored the Matadors 60-35 in the second half. Andy Stefonowicz (17), Markhi Strickland (14), and Noah Feddersen also scored in double figures.

Tuesday Eye-Openers
Buffalo 66, DePaul 53: Perhaps peeking ahead to Saturday’s game vs. in-state rival Northwestern, the Blue Demons pratfell at home vs. the Bulls. Daniel Freitag, a transfer from Wisconsin & a Bloomington Jefferson (MN) HS graduate, had 18 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists for the Bulls.
Central Connecticut 60, Boston College 59: BC (1-2) is the early leader in the clubhouse for the worst Power 5 team in the country, dropping its second game to a non-Power 5 opponent. Tough times in Chestnut Hill in both basketball and football.
#19 Gonzaga 90, #23 Creighton 63: The Zags smack the Bluejays behind a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double from Graham Ike. The Zags simply just keep on keeping on.

Deep Thoughts, by Buzz Studley
Michigan’s 85-84 overtime win over Wake Forest last night got me thinking. …
Perhaps the media anointed the wrong 1st-team preseason All-American (Yaxel Lendeborg) for the Wolverines? Lendeborg (9 points, 5 rebounds) was mostly invisible, while gigantic 7-3 teammate & UCLA transfer Aday Mara was in complete control of the game on both ends of the floor. Mara finished with 18 points, 13 boards, 6 assists, and 5 blocked shots. Other than perhaps Arizona freshman man-child Koa Peat’s 30-point, 7-rebound, 5-assist, 3-steal masterclass vs. defending national champion Florida, Mara’s performance was the most impactful one I’ve seen this season.
