Setting an Academic Standard

It ceases to amaze what great student-athletes Trinity University attracts. Recently, the SCAC announced the Spring 2015 Academic Honor Roll and the Trinity Tigers lead the way again with 124 recipients. We would like to acknowledge our five Trinity Basketball honorees:

Matthew Bender, FY - Undecided
Jimmy Clark, SO - Business Finance Major, Global Health Management Major
Matt Jones, FY - Undecided
Matt Selling, SR - Business Finance Major, Sports Management Minor
William Young, SR - Business Accounting Major, Business Finance Major

These young men have maintained the strong academic standard that we strive towards and set a tone for all of our team. We are proud that our team GPA is still above the average male student's GPA here at Trinity, which shows the hard work our student-athletes have put in off the court.

Congrats guys and keep up the good work!

SCAC Media Days

You know basketball season is almost upon us when the annual SCAC Media Days come out! This year, Coach Cunningham and senior guard William Young talk with the SCAC's James Hill about the upcoming season.

Senior Spotlight - Matt Selling '15

Meet Trinity Basketball senior guard Matt Selling. Matt came to Trinity from Phoenix, AZ and has been a big part in helping the Tigers to three SCAC championships. This season, Matt will be one of the upperclassmen called upon to lead the Trinity Tigers in pursuit of a fourth consecutive SCAC championship.

King of the Court 2014

Each year, within the first week of practice, Trinity Basketball also holds our annual King of the Court. This competition runs a series of tests (vertical, agility, sprint, bench, conditioning) and rewards the top performers, as well as those with the greatest improvements from prior years.

The 2014 King of the Court is junior guard Jimmy Clark. This is the first time in KOTC history we have had a multiple champion, as Jimmy won last year's KOTC as well. We are very proud of him, knowing the hard work he has put in to his off-season training to physically prepare himself for this season.

Congrats, Jimmy!
