Syracuse Basketball: The Club Trillion Standings

via media.syracuse.com

Every single player on the Syracuse roster played in last night's 97-55 romp over Morgan State. When that many walk-ons and bench players get involved, there's bound to be some serious Club Trillion action. And there was.

Just in case you're unfamiliar, Club Trillion is a term made popular by former Ohio State benchmeister Mark Titus. A player becomes a member of Club Trillion when they play one minute of a game but accumulate no stats whatsoever, a somewhat common occurrence for super-scrubs. The name comes from the fact that the amount of zeroes that follow the one on the stat sheet come out to a trillion if put together.

Last night, two Orange joined Club Trillion. Nolan Hart and Russ DeRemer both notched one minute of action and nothing else. Quite the accomplishment. And it got me thinking...how many Club Trillion members do we have this season and which one of them is King Trillion?

And so, I've decided to take a look at each game and start keeping track.  There's been a lot of close calls, guys who attempted one shot or grabbed one rebound. But only the pure of boxscore can make the cut. Here's what we've got.

2010-2011 Club Trillion Members

Griffin Hoffman - Northern Iowa

Matt Lyde-Cajuste - Northern Iowa

Matt Tomaszewki  - Canisius*

Brandon Reese - Cornell

Nolan Hart - Morgan State

Russ DeRemer - Morgan State

That's it so far. And so, at the moment, there is no King of Trillion Castle. Five have the inside track to take that mantle and run with it. Who will be it? That depends on how many more blowouts the Orange have and how late Jim Boeheim can wait to sub them in. We'll check back in as more Club Trillion entries are granted during the season.

* Technically played 0+ minutes but let's call it 1.

Titus didn't invent the trillion.

The first time I heard it was from ’90s NBA scrub Scott Hastings. Apparently the term was used even before that: Linky

Typically

Club Trillion is just for the walk-on who plays the final and only is a trillion, not a player who plays three or four minutes and has a 3 trillion because as you pointed out, a scholarship player could do that playing his normal game.

Good eye

but there’s something about one trillion that’s the most impressive

Disagree

3+ trillions are far more interesting than 1 trillions.

Interesting yes

But the idea of Club Trillion was to highlight the walk-ons who get to play that final minute and do nothing while one the court.

One of the key contests in Syracuse's march to the national championship in 1959 was a titanic clash with unbeaten Penn State on Nov. 7, 1959 in University Park, PA. The Nittany Lions were ranked No. 7 and the Orangemen No. 4. 

The 20-18 victory propelled Syracuse to the No. 1 in both the AP and UPI polls which they held for the remainder of the season to claim the consensus National Championship. This is the Universal Newsreel account of that contest.
