On Tuesday, St. Thomas Aquinas College Men's Basketball Head Coach Tobin Anderson was named the HoopDirt.com Coach of the Week for Division II.
Coach Anderson and St. Thomas Aquinas extended their winning streak to 10, with another pair of road victories this pastweek. The Spartans opened the week at No. 24 Daemen College, who entered the contest unbeaten in conference play and had handed STAC its only conference loss on the season earlier in the year. In a back and forth battle, the Spartans were able to pick up a thrilling 75-70 overtime victory and move into a tie for first place in the ECC. At D’Youville University on Sunday, STAC led wire-to-wire in a 94-55 triumph to improve to 22-4 (15-1 ECC) on the campaign. The Spartans will look to make it 11 straight when they host the University of the District of Columbia on Wednesday.
