ST. THOMAS MEN'S BASKETBALL ROLL TO VICTORY OVER SOUTH DAKOTA STATE

The St. Thomas men's basketball team proved to be too strong for South Dakota State, cruising to a 77-62 win on the road. Top-scoring performance came from Nolan Minessale, who scored 26 points and added eight rebounds and four assists to his tally. The Tommies outscored their opponents by a significant margin of 46-34 in the second half after trailing just three points at halftime.

The team's shooting percentages reflected their dominance. They shot an impressive 71.4% from the field during the second half, including 6-of-9 from beyond the arc. The Tommies' overall shooting percentage for the game was 48.2%.

The St. Thomas men's basketball team now hosts Oral Roberts on Saturday at 7 p.m. Central.

Women's Basketball Team Falls to South Dakota State

However, not all of St. Thomas' basketball fortunes were so fortunate. Their women's team suffered a 84-51 defeat against South Dakota State in front of their home crowd. Alyssa Sand led the Tommies with 12 points, but it was not enough to stem the tide.

Faith Feuerbach and Autumn McCall also scored in double figures, adding 11 and 10 points respectively to the team's total. Meanwhile, Madison Mathiowetz from Sleepy Eye, Minnesota had a standout performance, scoring a game-high 21 points for South Dakota State.

The St. Thomas women's basketball team now heads to Denver on Saturday at 3 p.m. Central to try and get back on track.

I'm telling you, this is more than just a sports win, it's a government test run . Think about it, the Tommies are playing in front of their home crowd but they still can't even beat South Dakota State? What's going on here? Is the government trying to say something about the state of American basketball or is it just a coincidence that the women's team got crushed so badly . And don't even get me started on Madison Mathiowetz, what's her story? She scored 21 points and now she's getting attention? Sounds like someone is trying to distract us from the real issues .

 

[Xer]

ugh, how could they beat the girls team so badly?! i mean, 84-51 is like a landslide in any sport. but what really gets me is that Alyssa Sand was their only bright spot with 12 points. and then they go ahead and lose. it's like they gave up in the second half or something. anyway, gotta feel for the ladies team right now. hope they can bounce back against Denver on saturday

just saw that the St. Thomas men's basketball team totally destroyed South Dakota State, I mean that was a huge win for them! Nolan Minessale was on fire with 26 points, I'm not surprised they won by so much in the second half. The stats are crazy, like they shot 71.4% from the field during the second half . Now I'm curious to see how they'll do against Oral Roberts on Saturday .

 

[Wooden Pokemon Gon]

I'm loving how the Tommies' men's team just dominated that game against South Dakota State I mean, 26 points from Nolan Minessale is insane! And their shooting percentages were so clutch in the second half. It's like they finally found that chemistry on the court.

But you know what's even more impressive? The fact that they didn't let a small lead at halftime get to them and came back strong . That's what separates the champions from the rest. And now, they get to host Oral Roberts on Saturday - bring it on!

As for the women's team, I feel bad for them . A 84-51 loss is tough to swallow. But hey, at least Alyssa Sand and Faith Feuerbach put up some good numbers. They just need to keep working together as a team and come back stronger in Denver

 

[Annoyed An]

I'm loving the way Nolan Minessale is just straight up unstoppable! That guy's got skills for days , but what really impresses me is how his teammates stepped up to support him. 8 rebounds and 4 assists? that's some next-level stuff right there. And their second-half shooting percentage? insane. Can't wait to see what the rest of the season holds for these Tommies!

 

[Children of t]

Ugh, can't believe the scores are just so one-sided . I mean, it's like they didn't even show up for the women's game . South Dakota State must be getting some serious coaching or something because they're absolutely dominating both teams . And what's with all these new players coming in? The roster changes every season and I just can't keep track of who's who anymore . Nolan Minessale was on fire tho, 26 points and 8 rebounds? That's some sick stats . But seriously, can we get a more competitive schedule for once? It's like they're just phoning it in at this point .

 

[Horrible Hornet]

I was thinking about that game the other day ... I think it's crazy how much of a difference in performance between their men's and women's teams is . The St Thomas guys were on fire from 3, but the ladies just couldn't get anything going . I'm curious to see how they bounce back against Oral Roberts though - hopefully, the girls can get some momentum going

[Custom Skydiving Daredevi]

man I'm telling you this is not what it seems... they're trying to distract us from the real issue with St Thomas' basketball team, all these wins and losses just a cover for something bigger . And have you noticed how South Dakota State is always winning? that's some suspicious stuff right there . I mean think about it, they show up on campus and crush their teams left and right... too convenient if you ask me .
