| birth_place = [[New Ulm, Minnesota]], U.S.

Lohaus played at the [[University of Iowa]] from 1982 to 1987 under three different head coaches. He was recruited and played his freshman season under head coach [[Lute Olson]]. After Olson left for Thethe [[University of Arizona]], Lohaus reluctantly stayed at Iowa and played his sophomore and junior seasons under George Raveling (redshirting a year between seasons). He then flourished during his senior season under new coach [[Dr. Tom Davis]] as a shooting big man who defended the front of the Hawkeyes' fullcourt pressing defense. That year, the team reached the NCAA Elite Eight, ending with a school record 30 wins, with Lohaus averaging 11.3 points and leading the team in rebounds and blocked shots.

Lohaus was acquired by the [[Minnesota Timberwolves]] in the [[1989 NBA Expansion Draft]], then traded on January 4, 1990, to the [[Milwaukee Bucks]] for center [[Randy Breuer]], giving Lohaus the opportunity to further display his perimeter game and long-range shooting ability. He also completed his bachelor's degree at Thethe University of Iowa the ensuing summer semester.

After that season, Lohaus played an additional four full seasons for the Bucks, scoring 314 three-point field goals (whereas he was 5 for 40 in his first 2½{{frac|1|2}} seasons). The Bucks advanced to the playoffs twice in that timeframe.

He then played for the [[Miami Heat]] in 1994–95 with former Iowa teammate [[Kevin Gamble]], where Lohaus averaged 4.4 points per game.

Lohaus then played for Toronto (November–December 1996), a stint with the Italian team Scavolini Pesaro (October–December 1997), then back again with the Spurs in 1997–98, later in the season and into the playoffs.
