Trinity Men's Basketball @ Millsaps

The 11th-ranked Tiger men’s basketball team won a pair of games last week, defeating the University of Dallas 73-58 on Tuesday, then downing Southwestern University 86-78 on Saturday evening. 

Trinity remains atop the SCAC West Division standings with a 19-2 overall record and a 10-1 mark in conference play.  The team’s 19 wins this season already eclipses its win total from last year.

Head Coach Pat Cunningham secured his 350th career win on Saturday night against Southwestern.  Cunningham, who is in his 10th season at the helm of the Tiger men’s basketball program, compiled 38 wins at Manchester College and 114 wins at the University of Chicago.  He is also nearing 200 wins since coming to Trinity, totaling 198 heading into this weekend.

Charles Houston broke his own single season steals record during the week, and he now has 61 steals this season.  He is six steals from breaking Trinity’s career record for steals, and with eight more steals, Houston will tie for a spot in the top 10 in SCAC history for a single season.  Only nine players in conference history have ever recorded 70 or more steals in one year.

The Tigers travel to Millsaps and Hendrix this weekend, continuing conference play.  Trinity swept the two teams earlier this year in San Antonio.  Trinity defeated Millsaps 55-50, followed by a 69-53 win over Hendrix.  The Tigers did lose 67-73 on the road to Millsaps last year, but beat Hendrix 75-50 in Conway.

B.J. Moon is just eight assists from reaching 200 in his career with the Tigers, tying with Andy Bates (2002-06) on the all-time list.  He is also seven steals from reaching 100 in his career.  With his next three-point field goal, Moon can also be the fourth player ever to hit 40 or more threes in a season twice in a career.

Patrick Robinson is shooting to become the 13th player to reach 100 in a career – a mark reached by Moon earlier this season.  Robinson would be the fifth player to reach the milestone since the 2005 season, joining – in addition to Moon – Jason Morris (2001-05), current assistant coach Ross Burt (2002-06), Chad Stroberg (2001-05), and Bates.

The Tigers travel to Millsaps and Hendrix this weekend, continuing conference play.  Trinity swept the two teams earlier this year in San Antonio.  Trinity defeated Millsaps 55-50 earlier this season, led by Houston's 11 points and eight rebounds.
