WHITING, Ind. – It was a Jekyll and Hyde afternoon for the Trinity Christian College men's basketball team on Saturday, Feb. 6 when they took on Calumet College of St. Joseph (Ind.). In the opening half, the Trolls just couldn't get rid of the cob webs, shooting well below their team average and finding themselves down 33-24 going into the break. The second half, however, was a completely different story as the Trolls shot 63-percent from the field and from behind the arc and a perfect 8-of-8 at the charity stripe to overtake the Wave and come away with a 74-57 win.

James Pennington led the offense with 21 points, 16 of which came in the second half. He also pulled in a team leading 10 rebounds, while adding three assists and two steals. Myles Johnson and Sterling Brown also finished in double figures, 12 and 11, respectively. Jalyn Clark came off the bench to add 10 points.
