What if St. Thomas becomes the next Duke?

The next Marquette, more likely.

(not saying it's likely)

I was thinking the next St. Francis (PA) but, OK, I'll dare to dream.

Let's meet in the middle with Duquesne

Good aspirational school! Well done.

What if St. Thomas becomes the next Duke?

Then we'll all hate them?

What if St. Thomas becomes the next Duke?

That would be a crushing blow to Wisconsin.

Maybe Minnesota and St. Thomas will open the season against each other to answer this thread straight up.

Would be great to see St. Thomas rise from nothing to being a powerhouse. Hire a great coach and anything is possible.

Might be a coin flip right now....

 

[Spaulding!No!]

We shoulda hired someone with a known track record of working tirelessly. The rumors are the opposite. Missing meetings? Come on

Gap is closing

I just made up a school. I think. Maybe Montana A&M exists. Gophers will open against a weaker opponent than UST is my guess.

Didn't Montana A&M pass on Ben?

Kidding....

Per Marcus it looks like the Gophers will start with an exhibition against Concordia St. Paul...

when's the last time we lost an exhibition game?

 

[Roland Brooks]

Winona St?

Winona St?

Yes.

Tubby and Pitino (outside of 2015/16) were very good at avoiding bad/embarrassing non-conference losses. There were basically none outside of the 15-16 losses to USD/SDSU/Milwaukee. I'll be pleasantly surprised if there aren't 2-3 this year.

 

[Roland Brooks]

The UST Summit League schedule is out it will be interesting to see the non-conference schedule.

 

[60's Guy]

St Thomas has their first Summit League home basketball game on New Years Day.
Summit League
Versus, 5 and 9 last year in conference play, Western Illinois.
Tommies are favored by 2.5 in the home opener.

They have one.

 

[builtbadgers]

They have one.

In my opinion they have a really good one. We just have a different definition of great.
