Preview - SCAC Championships
 
The Tigers will travel to Irving, Texas and the University of Dallas for the 2025 SCAC Championship Tournament. Trinity will open the tournament against the University of St. Thomas in the quarterfinal round on Friday, February 28th at 2:00 PM. 
 
On the St. Thomas Celts: The Celts finished the regular season with a 14-9 (12-4 SCAC) record. St. Thomas found their stride in the back end of the season, winning their last 11 games. Their last loss came against McMurry on January 17th. Senior guard Ravyn Ellis leads the Celts in scoring at nearly 10 points per game. However, the Celts hold 11 players that have seen time in 15 or more games this season, so they have many players that can come into the game and make an impact. Last time out, the Celts defeated the Tigers by 16 and shot over 50 percent from beyond the arc. All time, Trinity is 9-2 against St. Thomas. 
 
Looking Ahead
 
If the Tigers prevail, they will play against McMurry on Saturday, March 1st at 2:00 PM.
