Coach Mike Folda used all 11 of his players throughout the contest but it was 6’6 freshman Terrence Smith who got the Trojans off to a good start. Smith worked hard posting up in the paint and hitting the boards to score 12 first half points enabling the Trojans to jump out to an early 16-9 lead.
Tyrell Williams then opened things up by hitting a long range bomb to put Trinidad firmly in control midway through the first half. The Trojans maintained their lead heading into the locker room with the score at 38-30.
The teams traded buckets early in the second half until Devonte Malcolm and Williams opened things up from the outside with a slew of 3-pointers. Devonte Upson and J’My Holloway keyed a another quick run midway through the second half that featured several steals and seven quick points, including a thunderous dunk, by Upson. The Trojans cruised late to a 92-72 win. Malcolm finished with a team high 23 points with six 3-pointers, Williams and Smith each had 14 and Juhreece Thompson ended with 13.
