Thanks to a strong second half vs. the nation's No. 1 team, St. Thomas is moving on in the NCAA Division III men's basketball tournament.

Ryan Lindberg scored 15 points, Connor Bair had 12 and the Tommies beat defending national champion Nebraska Wesleyan 70-58 in Lincoln, Neb., on Saturday.

A day after scoring 24 points in the first round vs. Wisconsin-La Crosse, Lindberg, a sophomore from Wayzata High School, shot 4-for-8 from three-point range for the Tommies (24-4), who outscored the Prairie Wolves (27-2) 33-20 in the second half.

The Tommies are in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2016, when they won their second NCAA title.
