An old sports adage underdogs often latch onto is "To be the best, you have to beat the best."
Count Wisconsin-Superior in that club.
The Yellowjackets (23-4), two days removed from a second straight UMAC postseason title, learned Monday they will play the University of St. Thomas (27-0) in an NCAA Division III first-round regional game Friday on the Tommies' home court in St. Paul. A time is yet to be determined.
Second-ranked St. Thomas won its sixth consecutive Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference playoff title Sunday.
The winner would face either the University of Chicago or Wartburg College in the next round.
