The 2021–22 St. Thomas Tommies men's basketball team represent the University of St. Thomas in the 2021–22 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. The Tommies, led by 11th-year head coach John Tauer, play their home games at in Saint Paul, Minnesota as members of the Summit League.
The season will mark St. Thomas's first year of a four-year transition period from Division III to Division I, an incredibly rare and historical jump that bypasses Division II altogether. As a result, the Tommies are not eligible for NCAA postseason play until 2025–26 and cannot participate in the .[1][2]
Previous season[]
The Tommies finished the 2020–21 season 7–0 overall, 5–0 in MIAC play. Although they were atop the MIAC standings at the time the conference season was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the MIAC is not officially recognizing a regular season champion.[3] Per the NCAA Division III blanket waiver issued in October 2020, student-athletes were allowed to compete up to the established dates of competition maximums without being charged a season of intercollegiate participation during the 2020–21 academic year.[3]
Last season was the Tommies' final one competing in Division III basketball. They had earned four trips to the Division III Final Four (1994, 2011, 2013, 2016) and won two national championships (2011, 2016) during that time.
