2,200 attendance in the box score. Seems the women are out drawing the men's team.

That's because the students were back last night. The vast majority of people in the arena happened to be students, plus it was Dollar Night again (dollar concessions and a dollar to get in) and it was Greek night (sororities and fraternities). All that equaled a decent night of attendance!
Go Trojans!

I was thinking it was because they win and have a great, exciting product to watch. Rigby is a phenomenal coach

I wasn't saying they aren't good and the product isn't good. They are fantastic and fun to watch.
But I live in Troy and go to every men's game and nearly every women's basketball games. Normally, the men have more fans than the women. The difference last night was the students. With that being said, we are very fortunate to have Coach Rigby. Her coaching philosophy is fast paced and enjoyable to watch.
Go Trojans!

GO LADIES Guess times have changed because Thurs night was The Front Porch night in the 1980's because 90% of the students went home on the weekend leaving those of us from out of state (exception being Panhandle) and the few international students at the time. A few sick professors use to schedule tests on Friday lol. My major professor Dr. Cain use to joke that he had given copies of the text books to the bar tenders at the Porch for our use.

Troy needs to keep her as long as possible. Rigby will get her teams to the NCAA tournament multiple times if we can keep her here.

Rigby will get her teams to the NCAA tournament multiple times if we can keep her here. She's already done that. They went back to back years after winning back to back conference titles in 2016 and 2017.
