Colorado College returns to Reid Arena after an extended road trip to host No. 17 University of St. Thomas (TX) on Saturday at noon.
 
Last Time Out

 CC (2-5) competed in the All-Academic Classic two weeks ago in St. Louis, MO, against No. 5 WashU and No. 8 UChicago. The Tigers fell in both contests but fought hard, especially against the Maroons on Sunday, where they fell just short (73-69). 

Junior Christian Drummond led the team with 17 points, three rebounds, three assists and a steal. 

Senior Asher Nofziger was two rebounds shy of a double-double with 10 points, eight rebounds and an assist. Russell MacFarlane added 10 points, five rebounds and two blocks. Nofziger made the All-Tournament Team for the weekend. 
 
Returning Home
CC has not played at Reid Arena in a regular-season game since Nov. 7. The Tigers did host Colorado School of Mines in an exhibition on Nov. 25, but have been on the road for three straight weekends. 

Four of the next six CC games will be at Reid Arena, where they finished with a 7-8 record in the 2024-25 season. 

Leading The Way

Nofziger leads the team (minimum two games played) with 16.3 points and 7.0 rebounds per game. The Denver native has already logged three 20-plus point performances this season, including a 22-point and seven rebound night against the Bears of WashU. 

Senior Orion Samikoglu leads the team with 13 three-pointers made and has a 36.1 percent clip from long range. 
 
Scouting The Celts

St. Thomas enters Saturday with a 6-1 record and is ranked No. 17 in the nation in the latest D3Hoops.com national poll. 
The Celts most recently downed former conference foe No. 15 Trinity, 66-53. Three players average double-digit scoring, led by junior Corey Thompson's 15.8 ppg. Junior Garrett Rodgers follows shortly behind with 15.0 ppg.
