The Minnesota Gophers secured a 76-62 win over the St. Thomas Tommies on Saturday, November 7, 2026, after withstanding a late push from their in-state rivals.

Isaac Asuma led all scorers with 20 points, pacing the Gophers' offense throughout the contest. Minnesota built a comfortable lead before St. Thomas mounted a comeback attempt in the closing minutes, but the Gophers maintained their composure to close out the victory.

The win improves Minnesota's early-season record while St. Thomas falls in their non-conference matchup. Both programs continue their respective schedules as the college basketball season progresses.
