UST Men's Basketball Keeps Winning, Honors Supporter

Ranked No. 4 in Division III, the University of St. Thomas men's basketball team continues its winning ways while honoring deceased supporter Dr. Jack Follis.

The Celts are pursuing their eighth consecutive championship with a defensive-minded approach that has yielded a 112-20 record over the past five seasons. "We're the best defense we're going to play against," said guard Corey Thompson.

During a recent game against Texas Lutheran College, the UST community celebrated the life of Dr. Jack Follis, a mathematics professor and university graduate who attended every athletic event. A plaque will now mark his regular spot in the stands at Jerabeck Center.
