Trinity 97 HPU 85   Final

Ross Burt 30 pts!!!
Andy Bates 17 pts
Brandon York 17 pts  (newcomer transfer looked very good)

Good shooting, below average defense, fun game to watch

With the loss of the 3 guys from last year, I expected Burt and Bates to have big years.  Burt is off to a great start.  I can't wait to see how this season unfolds.  Let's keep the chatter up on the message board this year.  I like to hear what is going on in the SCAC.

Fan of the Game, I only got to see the livestats online last night.  I saw that the game was really close with about 5 mins to go and even a little later.  Was the difference in the score due to late fouling and good free throw shooting or just that TU pulled away?  I wish I could have been there to watch the game, seemed like the 2nd half was a lot of fun to watch.

dballa,

HPU really turned up the heat on defense in the second half and for the most part the refs let them play.  It took a pretty hard foul to get a whistle.  HPU also shot 57% in the second half going 46% on 3's.  They have some very good shooters.  As for Trinity, they have a lot of talent and even more heart.  They look like a team with a mission. 

[dballa]

Sounds like you guys still have a pretty good team this year especially if Burt keeps playing the way he is.  He put up some good numbers against HPU last year and 30 pts this year i would say thats not too shabby either   good luck the rest of the way.

Herbity, good to have you back.  Remember, TU lost four players from last year.

Big game from Ross Burt.  The stats show another very solid effort from Mitch Walker.  Appeared that everybody put up some type of number and Casey Hill hit a big three in the second half.

Carl,
How could I forget about the fourth?  Thanks for the correction.  I apologize to the fourth member of that graduating class.  This Tiger team has started out very strong with some good wins.

Millsaps beat Rust College 75-74 Tuesday night at Millsaps.  Millsaps dominated the first half, Rust got extremely hot in the second half and took the lead very late in the game and Millsaps hit a bucket with about 4 seconds left to get the victory.  Millsaps got balanced scoring from Tyler Warren, Rodney Rogan, Lorenzo Baily and Edrick Montgomery.  In the past Rust College has been competitive with mid-level SCAC teams and that's probably true about this year's team.  I think Rhodes plays at Rust next Monday.

well, my wife and I are FINALLY back to normal after the hurricane gave us the justice!!!  new roof, new stuff, so thats good i guess. 

Looks like the season is going to be an exciting one....  It reminds me of 96-97 and 97-98 when every game was a nail biter for almost all the teams.....

i look foward to some trash talk with any southwestern fans....!!!  (my little sister got brainwashed and is attending school there...)

OTTERBEIN 99 TRINITY 87
Close game1st half with Otterbein up 46-43 but , Otterbein shot the lights out all night long. They shot 60% for the game which is unheard of against a coach cunningham Trinity team. Ross Burt is still scoring well on a nightly basis dropping 26pt. Bates and York were also very solid players tonight on offense. Scoring doesn't appear to be a problem for Trinity they just need to bring the defense back to a Trinity level which they will...
