Nick Janowski scored 23 points on 8-for-13 shooting to go with five rebounds as the Tommies downed the Coyotes 90-78 Saturday in South Dakota to complete the season sweep.
The Tommies have now won 11 of their last 12 contests and remain firmly entrenched in second place in the Summit League, behind only North Dakota State.
All eight St. Thomas players to see action Saturday scored at least eight points, as the Tommies went 30 for 56 from the field, including 10 for 24 from 3-point territory.
Jordan Crawford had 22 points to pace South Dakota (11-11, 3-4 Summit) on a day where many of his teammates struggled from the field. The Coyotes went just 7 for 21 from beyond the arc.
South Dakota led by as many as nine points in the first half and was up by two at the break, but St. Thomas seized control in the second stanza. A 16-2 run, capped by a Janowski triple, pushed the Tommies’ advantage to 16 with just six minutes to play.
Austin Herro grabbed nine boards for the Tommies (17-5, 6-1 in Summit), who dominated South Dakota on the glass. St. Thomas won the rebounding battle 38-25.
The Tommies next play Thursday, when they host North Dakota in St. Paul.
