Brogan Madson sets season high 23 points as St. Thomas finished shooting 56.4 percent overall
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The St. Thomas men's basketball offense used efficient shooting and ball security to defeated Macalester 119-82 Wednesday night as a 12-0 run bridged halftime to stretch a 52-42 lead to 64-42. Sophomore Brogan Madson led the Tommies (2-2) with a season-high 23 points on 7-of-8 shooting while six Tommies topped double-figure scoring at Lee & Penny Anderson Arena.
Wednesday's 119 points were the most scored by St. Thomas since a 119-104 win over South Dakota on Jan. 11, 2025. The team's 28 assists were the most since recording 28 against South Dakota during a 99-86 win on Jan. 7, 2026. The Tommies hit over 10 3-pointers for the second time this season and recorded its most steals (18) in a game during the Division I era. St. Thomas most recently featured six double-digit scorers Dec. 28, 2025 during a 105-59 win over North Central (MN).

HOW IT HAPPENED
St. Thomas built a 16-8 lead by 15:11, with Tim Franks and Tibbits hitting early 3-pointers and Wilkinson adding a steal, layup and free throw. Macalester pushed back with Joseph Costanzo scoring twice off turnovers and Owen Walther making a transition 3-pointer to close to 16-15, but St. Thomas kept answering and led 32-27 after Wilkins' 3-pointer at 8:17. St. Thomas followed with an 8-0 run from 7:33 to 6:29, as Wilkinson made a layup and a 3-pointer and Wilkins hit another 3-pointer to make it 40-27. Macalester got later 3-pointers from Walther, Jamal Randle and Noah Hamburge, but Madson and Franks hit 3-pointers in the final 2:41, and Wilkinson's layup with 21 seconds left sent St. Thomas to halftime ahead 54-42.
Bjerke opened the second-half scoring for St. Thomas with a 3-pointer at 19:40, and the Tommies quickly pushed the score to 64-42 on a Wilkinson layup, a Tibbits 3-pointer and Jeremy Lorenz tip-in. Macalester got 3-pointers from Hamburge, Logan Davis and Randle during the next stretch, but St. Thomas kept answering, with Wilkinson's 3-pointer making it 71-47 and later baskets from Blue, Mitchell and Madson keeping the margin at 86-67. After Macalester reached 92-72 on a Kaden Holdbrook 3-pointer, St. Thomas hit four 3-pointers in a span from 7:04 to 4:25, with Blue making two before Wilkins and Julius Wade connected to move the score to 106-77. St. Thomas added an 11-0 run from 3:20 to 1:46, using steals by Mitchell and Madson to create transition scores, and finished off a 119-82 win.
