Troy Smothers Nicholls in Dominant Performance| Matt Mays TROY, Alabama – The nation's top offense was on full display, but the Troy women's basketball team was sparked by it's defense in a dominating, 104-51, win over Nicholls at Trojan Arena on Tuesday. Troy (3-2) held Nicholls to just 25 percent shooting and had 19 steals on 35 Nicholls turnovers that led to 41 Trojan points. Troy's 53-point victory was just two points shy of tying the program's Division I era record for margin of victory. "Scoring a 100 points is what people like to talk about," Troy head coach Chanda Rigby said. "But as a team we know, and have decided that, it doesn't matter how many times we score 100, if we don't hold people to lower scores we're not going to achieve our goals." ( Full Article)

Hope we can play like this at Vandy. We haven't beaten anybody yet. Three D2 schools and this team. Upset Vandy and we are on our way.

It only takes a couple really good players to be competitive with the big girls! This lady can coach, she's dedicated and has been an EXPERIENCED head coach before coming to Troy and she's won at every level so I have no reason to doubt she will here. I hope we can began beating the larger schools but no matter what we do against Vanderbilt, we are getting better. Troy, to be successful, doesn't have to beat SEC/ACC schools but it would help our brand!

Agree she can coach but this team has to show it can beat a good team. Livingston, Stillman and Ft Valley are not powers. That's why I like playing tough non conference teams. Pat Summitt used to play Uconn and others just to make her team better

Pat Summitt used to play Uconn and others just to make her team better Geez, I reckon so, she had one of the nations premier teams year in year out. It would be hard for her to find tougher teams to play to get "better"! I want yo play and beat the two "big" Alabama schools first!

Pat Summitt used to play Uconn and others just to make her team better I wouldn't knock Nicholls St too much. They were 17-13 last year with a win over SoBama and they played Samford closer than we did this year on a neutral court.

It's not UConn, but the women of Troy. on.ncaa.com/1BDUsy9 @troytrojanswbb Uconn also hasn't played three mediocre at best D2 schools. But, I hope they can maintain this average down the stretch against conference foes and most importantly the conference tournament

If the NCAA recognizes Troy Women's bball, I'll take that over your critique every time.

Send me a private message we'll talk about it. My life is great. I just don't understand bragging about how great we are when we have beat three mediocre d2 teams, one average south land team and got beat by the only two decent teams we've played. We are a good team when we start beating other d1 teams and our conference mates.

Chanda loves positive energy around the team.

Well if we had lost to Livingston, Stillman and Ft Valley we wouldn't need positive energy we would need an exorcist gay-laugh

So, we should be discouraged by our wins?

So, we should be discouraged by our wins? Missing the point. We beat three mediocre d2 schools. How does that prove anything. Done a lot of coaching..football, baseball and fast pitch softball. You don't get better or prove anything playing teams beneath you. Yes you win, but when you get into a game with a team equal to or better than you, sometimes you won't know how to react. I put together a new travel softball team one year with 9 of my 11 girls having no travel ball experience. I put them into tournaments that were above their level. We took our lumps the first few but by Summer's end we were beating some of those teams. I could have entered low level tourneys but that didn't make them better. I'm just hoping we ris up against better teams because we lost to the only two teams we've played so far. That's all I'm saying. Beating up low level D2 schools proves nothing

I didn't ask if we were awesome, or the greatest team in the nation, or even in our conference... I just asked if we should actually be discouraged by wins. Chill out a bit and stop looking for all the negatives
