  • Trevecca MBB Blasts Wright State University- Lake 142-50

    In a Homecoming exhibition game, Trevecca Men’s Basketball blitzed the Wright State University-Lake Lakers 142-50. While technically an exhibition and thus not a countable official record, the 92-point blowout marked the largest offensive output by a Trevecca team in more than 50 years.

    Box Score

    Historical Context

    The Trojans have only ever scored more points in a single game once: a 157-61 victory over John Wesley College on Valentine’s Day in 1970. Prior to Saturday, Trevecca had only crossed the 130-point mark twice in program history:

    • 135–56 vs. Piedmont College (Nov. 15, 1985)
    • 134–108 vs. Jimmy Swaggart Bible College (Nov. 21, 1989)

    How It Happened

    The Trojans suffocated the Lakers from the opening tip. Capitalizing on early defensive pressure, Trevecca forced three turnovers in the first four minutes and sprinted out to a 19-6 lead. Shooting 14-of-20 out of the gate and dominating the glass (grabbing 12 of the first 13 rebounds), the Trojans built a commanding 30-10 lead and cruised into halftime up 75-25.

    Even with the bench getting heavy minutes in the second half, the pace never slowed. Trevecca finished the night having created nearly 40 more possessions than the Lakers.
