Game Notes - Jan. 31

Trinity Men's Basketball @ Centre

Trinity had its 15-game winning streak snapped by DePauw on Friday night, losing a 54-61 game.  DePauw and Trinity have alternated wins in this series over the last two-plus seasons.

Patrick Robinson led Trinity with 12 points in last night's game, while B.J. Moon and Luke Caldarera finished with 10 points each.  Charles Houston pulled down nine rebounds, while Caldarera added eight of his own.

With those nine boards, Houston now stands just eight rebounds away from reaching 500 in his career.  He would be the 11th player in school history to reach the milestone.

Nick Polidoroff and Jonathan Lewis are also on the verge of reaching landmark numbers in career rebounds, and both will likely reach those tonight against Centre.  Polidoroff needs just two boards to reach 300 in his career, while Lewis is just one away from 200 career rebounds.

Two more steals on Friday night gives Houston 54 this season - putting him third at Trinity for a single season.  Jonathan McNulty finished with 56 in 1993-94 and Houston is the single season record-holder with 57 during the 2006-07 season.  He remains 12 away from tying the career record set by Jason Morris from 2001-05.

B.J. Moon now stands alone in seventh place in career three-pointers made, breaking a tie with Mike Cleary (1995-99) with two threes last night at DePauw.  Moon needs 23 more to move into sixth on the career list at Trinity. 

Patrick Robinson pulled even with Mike Mataya (1996-2000) in career three-point field goals, needing six more to become the 13th player in school history to hit 100 or more in a career. 

Moon and Houston are also closing in on 800 career points, and are nearing the top 25 in school history for a career.  Moon needs 13 more to reach 800, while Houston is next on the active list with 739 career points.

Last year against Centre, the Tigers missed a shot at the buzzer that forced an overtime in which Centre outscored Trinity 11-2 to take the 78-69 win.  That loss was Trinity’s first loss at home to Centre since the 1992-93 season.  In the SCAC Semifinals, the Tigers were beaten 70-57 by Centre.
