Johnny Tauer, psychology professor and head coach of the men’s basketball team at the University of St. Thomas, recently spoke with FOX 9 about the team’s battle for first place in the Summit League.
From the story:
The issue for the Tommies currently is they’re not eligible for the NCAA Tournament until the 2025-26 season. Even if they win the Summit League Tournament, the team they would face in the title game would get the automatic bid. Tauer and the Tommies won’t let it dictate their season.
“Hungry and humble are two words we use a lot. Over the four years we went from a team that nobody in the country knew about, we talk about 31 Super Bowls,” Tauer said. “Those are the number of games we get guaranteed, and we’d be fools if we ever wasted one of them.”
