HOUSTON – Trinity University Men's Basketball fell to conclude the first road weekend of Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference play Sunday afternoon at University of St. Thomas, 77-63.

The Tigers (5-4, 0-2 SCAC) collected the eighth career 20-point performance for junior Tanner Brown (San Antonio, Texas / Brandeis) as 16 of his 20 points came in the second-half charge from the steep halftime deficit.

Nine of the first 14 combined attempts from the field came from outside the arc with senior AJ Clark (San Antonio, Texas / Johnson) capitalizing on the long-range barrage with three makes, leading to 11 of his 15 points in the first half. Clark also matched the team-high with seven rebounds, tied with sophomore Braxton Barry (Houston, Texas / Westbury Christian).

Sophomore Jacob Harvey (Huffman, Texas / Hargrave) rounded out the double-digit scorers for Trinity with 13 points. Harvey and Brown each contributed a pair of steals in the contest as well, a category led once again by first-year Zach Fenn (Covington, La. / Saint Paul's) with three steals off the bench.

The Tigers fell behind by as many as 26 points early in the second half but mounted a 25-8 stretch that brought them back to just a nine-point deficit with two minutes to go. The run featured five different scorers, led by 13 of Brown's 16 second-half points.

Trinity Men's Basketball will remain idle through the remainder of the fall semester, then will host Geneva College (PA) and University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point for the 2022 Leslie Robinson Christmas Classic December 21-22, the first two of a four-game homestand through the holiday break.
