Johnny Tauer, coach of the St. Thomas men's basketball and student-athlete Drake Dobbs were quoted by a FOX 9 News reporter who said, "the 2024-25 season for St. Thomas will be one to remember" as the team looks to make a splash in the Summit League Championships.

From the article:
"What these guys are doing right now, there’s not many times in your life where you get a chance to do something that hasn’t been done before," Coach Tauer said. "This journey that we’re on at St. Thomas is just incredibly special."

This week marks the end of a run for four seniors, and Drake Dobbs wants to go out winners. Their 71 wins over the last four seasons in Division I is second-most in the NCAA in a four-year transitional period.
"I just really want to leave this program in a better spot than it was when I got here. I want to do something that’s never been done at St. Thomas," Dobbs said. "I want to win this championship really bad."
