ESPN is ONLY giving us a 76.4% chance at victory tonight! That seems a little low...

Carver is in for a rude awakening.
Scott Cross sounds pretty high about what his team is capable of this year.

45-11@ 7:40 mark first half. TROY actually has a legit big man to go low and fight for the ball off the boards.

Big bodies!!! I like what I see. 6β8β, 240 and 6β9β, 240 alternating playing time and they both are strong upper body types. We might be able to secure more than 4 rebounds a game this season.

Every player has scored! And the excitement by the bench shows how great coach Cross is!

Maybe ESPN misspoke, their forecast was only 9% or so from our FG %!!

Told y'all if Cross can't fix it, it can't be fixed. I like everything about what I saw. Coach Rigby and company continue to do what they do also. This is gonna be a nice fall / winter in Pike County.

Defense seems to look good. I'm in Syracuse for five days and decided to go to a game at the Carrier Dome last night. Syracuse has the most ridiculous Covid protocol I have ever saw and it is killing their attendance (proof of vaccination or negative covid test and then you have to wear a mask also). It was fun to see them play and what a master coach does. Student section was awesome and they are very well coached. Looking forward to seeing what Troy does with a real basketball coach now

I know this is Carver College, and they're awful.
But from a personnel standpoint, this is one of the best teams I've seen at Troy in a while. Most talent, size, strength, speed, and depth I've seen in a very long time.

Butler struggled mightily against IUPUI, a team that was picked to finish dead last in the weak Horizon League. Butler also struggled a lot against the Division II exhibition teams they played against.
Butler is currently without their best player because of suspension. He will be eligible to play THE GAME AFTER they play Troy... so that's good news for us.
This game might be REALLY interesting.

From what I watched in the first half we shot the 3 really, really good. Like CBT said I know Carver College isn't good competition but seeing Butler's troubles makes me think we can pick up a win vs the Big East. Butler finished with a NET rating of 124. Would be good for Troy's and the SBC's resume.
