No. 15-ranked St. Thomas Men's Basketball shot just 26 percent from the field in Saturday night's 85-64 road loss to unbeaten Whitworth.
The Pirates (4-0) shot 57 percent and raced to a 36-21 halftime lead.
The Toms made only 4-of-28 from 3-point range and were outrebounded 44-32. They sank 28-of-33 at the foul line but couldn't offset the cold shooting frm the floor.
Sophomore guard Anders Nelson had 25 points and six boards to lead the Purple.
