Taylor University held its annual Silent Night game on Friday night, but the costume-clad fans in Upland, Indiana, got to see some history this year with the Trojans' 100-50 win against Ohio Chillicothe.
It did not take long for Taylor to get to 10 points, resulting in the now-recognizable explosion of sound and enthusiasm once the Trojans get to double digits. The bucket came courtesy of a corner three from Evan Crowe to give Tayor a 10-1 lead.
As a reminder, Taylor holds its Silent Night game on the Friday before Finals week in the fall semester. The student section sits quietly until Taylor scores its 10th point in the game, then the game stops so everyone can go bananas. Our own Matt Norlander has written about this event in the past, so here are some more details on its history.
Taylor improved to 19-0 in Silent Night games with the win and the 50-point margin was the largest in the history of the event. It's also the third time in Silent Night history the Trojans have reached 100 points.
The special occasion of the 50-point win warranted another party on the court after the game.
