Minnesota and St. Thomas renew rivalry for first time in 92 years

Minnesota faces St. Thomas in their first men’s basketball matchup since 1934 on November 6. The game is expected to attract around 10,000 fans at the 14,000-seat arena known as The Barn. Despite the anticipated attendance boost, Minnesota coach Niko Medved indicated there is minimal benefit for NCAA Tournament selection due to St. Thomas's Summit League standing. The game's emotional significance may not translate to a competitive advantage in the tournament framework, as both teams rank in the lower tiers of their respective divisions.
