Fall semester grades are in and Trinity Basketball AGAIN set an all-time high for team semester GPA! The average GPA of 3.441 beats last semester's average (and previous all-time high) 3.360. This is a testament to the hard work and dedication that this group of student-athletes put in and out of the classroom. We most often recognize our players for their athletic accomplishments, but these victories are the ones that should truly be heralded. As coaches, we couldn't be more impressed with the approach these 15 young men take to their education and commend them for the time management and efforts it takes to succeed in both academic and athletic arenas.
Go Tigers!

Maroon Madness 2012
On October 25, Trinity University kicked off the 2012-13 basketball season with Maroon Madness - our version of the bigger school's "Midnight Madness". Sponsored by TU Cheer and ASR, there was an awesome turnout of students at the event. Lasting about an hour, Maroon Madness had it all - player introductions, dance team routines, shooting/dribble competitions, a costume contest, and of course, a dunk contest to finish it off. Thank you to all who were involved in putting this event together and for those that attended. Maroon Madness was a great way to get Trinity's campus excited for the season ahead!

King of the Court - Fall 2012
Similar to last year, King of the Court took place on the second day of practice, Tuesday, Oct. 16. While excuses of tired legs and fatigue from the first day of practice could have been made, our guys came out and posted the best overall testing scores we have ever had in the KOTC competition. This is a true testament to how hard the group worked over the off-season to put themselves in better physical condition coming into the season. The guys have truly set the tone early for this season and we are extremely excited for the season ahead.
This also proved to be the closest King of the Court we've ever had, with the winner taking the crown by a mere one point. This year's champion is junior forward Zach Lambert. Zach made major gains in every category but one, along with posting near the top on each individual test. Being named King of the Court is a direct result of Zach's dedication to his strength and conditioning routine.
Congratulations Zach!
