St. Thomas Basketball Aims for 8th Title with Defense

The University of St. Thomas men's basketball team, ranked No. 4 in Division III, is pursuing its eighth consecutive championship while honoring longtime supporter Dr. Jack Follis.

The Celts have built a championship program under four-time Coach of the Year Anthony Medina, emphasizing a strong defensive philosophy. "We're the best defense we're going to play against," said guard Corey Thompson.

UST has compiled a 112-20 record over the last five seasons with only eight conference losses. The team recently honored Dr. Jack Follis, a graduate and longtime supporter, with a plaque displayed at his usual game spot in Jerabeck Center.
