[TrinitySID]

Game time is 5:00 pm on Friday at Bellarmine.


Looking for the 800th win in program history, Trinity faces Jeffersontown in the quarterfinals of the 2010 Republic Bank/ Coca-Cola/ Louisville Invitational at Bellarmine’s Knights Hall. It marks the fifth quarterfinals appearance in program history for the Shamrocks.
This is the 63rd year for the Louisville Invitational Tournament, the nation’s oldest invitational tournament.
Trinity is hoping to claim its third in-season tournament title of the season this week. The Shamrocks have already won titles at the 2009 Canfield Development King of the Bluegrass and 2009 Republic Bank Holiday Classic. In 2004-2005, Trinity reached the finals of the King of the Bluegrass, Republic Bank Holiday Classic (know as Fifth Third Bank Classic at the time) and Louisville Invitational Tournament. The Rocks claimed two of the three tournaments that season.
Senior Josh Sewell has established himself as the leading candidate for the Mr. Basketball award in the state of Kentucky. He has been named the Most Valuable Player of the Canfield Development King of the Bluegrass and Republic Bank Holiday Classic this season, becoming only the second player (Chris Lofton) to win both of the awards over the course of their playing careers.
A win tonight would set up either an early morning rematch with district rival Ballard or a contest with sixth region power PRP. The Rocks and Bruins battled to a 56-53 decision in favor of Ballard on Dec. 15, 2009. Trinity and PRP met in the semifinals of the 2005 LIT.
