Best part of the Steve Dennis era. The Trojan Arena was conceptualized and completed during Steve's era as well.

The contract includes increased “budgetary support”. It’ll be interesting to see what that looks like. Given that the assistant staff salary pool was also increased and that we have the best arena in the conference and one of the best in midmajors its size keeps it from being at the top), I would think this means more NIL money. "Alston Money" may be the implication here??? NIL $ will most definitely impact all G5 programs.

Troy Athletics announced today a 4-Year extension for Men's BB Head Coach Scott Cross!
> 3 straight 20-Game winning Seasons. > Troy is only SBC team with 3 Current Consecutive 20-win Seasons. > 13 Regular Conference Wins this year are the most in 16 years! > HCSC was the recent target of several P-5 and G-5 programs based on his career success.
A solid decision IMO.

We have to sign players who can mix it up in the paint and attack the basket. Cant win the Sunbelt and the tournament just trying to shoot 3 pointers and can’t rebound if you do! Efe Odege was that man, and he walked for $30k +/-. Gotta find a way to KEEP those players.

I’m not saying he should be fired this year. I fully expect to win the SBC next year, but I thought we would this year too though. If we do not win next year, that would be six years without a NCAA birth. Yes, I understand he inherited a less than talented team. I think I’m reasonable in my thought process. I promise you one thing, if our new Football coach doesn’t win the SBC in his first 6 years and has an average record between 7-5 or 8-4 you’ll all be asking for new leadership.

I know this method can be reversed to show how many games we could have easily lost BUT looking at our overall record of 17-11 vs DI opponents and we were just 26 points short (in 7 games that we lost by single digits - 6 of which we lost by 3 points or less) I think we still have a real shot at winning the SBC tournament because we've already beaten App St. once this year and don't think we'd be way overmatched by JMU if we played them. We might not be the flashiest team on the court BUT I think Troy basketball has come a long way. Ended the year averaging 3K fans per game too. This could be the start of some glory years in basketball if we keep this momentum with Coach Cross going. This isn't to discredit how amazing how ladies are because they are still just killing it under Coach Rigby. Agree 100%! Gotta get Jackson Fields healthy and in the Line up in Pensacola. We're a bit short without him, no pun intended.

-11 and loving the attention! Thanks TrojanOcean and Birther Boy! Old news. The fact that it's been months and you're just now noticing and mentioning it is more telling of the real truth of how you feel than your comment on it. All this shows is a passive-aggressive defense mechanism you have to shield you from the reality that it does matter and bother you and fake the appearance that it doesn't. I'm absolutely certain you'll say it doesn't but, to quote Shakespeare, "the lady doth protest too much, me thinks". Passive? No. Aggressive? Yes! Have a good day Shakespeare.

Ho drunk on Thunderbird and Ripple. He’s falling down in the elevator. Ripple? Ho not drink that swill. Ho new favorite is Wild Irish Rose with Ginseng. It's like some sort of fierce energy drink gone wrong mixed with the original Wild Irish Rose. With a wonderful bouquet of ethanol and Dawn Dish Soap*, but Ho digress. On serious note, losers on this board should thank Ho. Ever since his stair-taking rant, TMTDM have play with their pants on fire. Ho like HC Scott Frost. Never mention once about canning him. Win a game in P'cola and get an invite to something. Win two and lobby for the play-in game with a chance to win a NCAA Tournament game. Ho think outside of box all day long. * Parody. Every clown on this Board know Ho favorite cool refreshing alcohol drink is Woodford. Ho not condon two things: 1. Consuming Sushi purchased at Dollar General and 2. Drinking anything below the top shelf at your favorite establishment, although you need to bring your own drink glass if that said place is the Front Porch. Woodford and plastic cups don't mix but Ho digress again. The gelling of this team mid-season has absolutely no correlation to ANYTHING on a message board. Nice try. Your innuendo speaks volumes to message bored clown. Quote, cornhole post 1/21: "Ask me again at end of the season. cornhole tire of boo-birds mid-season."

LoL. Frost was Ho’s boy coming in, even he has fell down a few flights of stairs on Cross. Troy will never compete for National Championships. With coaching, development and some NIL a team can form and win the SunBelt. Used to be against but now for a sub-division in FBS. At least Troy has a chance for the big one. hear, here.

Great win, great season and still a chance to to to 21 wins. I didn't see the game but I did look at the game stats as summarized on the TROY app. Did the 2 teams REALLY combine for 77 trips to the line? If so, the officials called every cross eyed look, or it was a street brawl. Of the two, I'd like to think it was a street brawl. It would be nice to know we won a game that was that physical. Troy's FT % close to 90. Whistles retired at 40 minutes.

Ho not booing failure...Ho booing being satisfied at finishing mid-pack year after year. It's been pointed out numerous occasions, this team can compete at home but wouldn't win the GulfSouth on the road. That UAB-Mobile game was just brutal to watch. I only agree that I'd like to see more portal players brought in. I still think Scott Cross is good for Troy basketball. He's re-established some basketball culture that became non-existent under Phil Cunningham.
I'll still take the 20-win seasons every year and finishing in mid-pack of the SBC, instead of the stupid 8, 9, and 10 win seasons that became the norm for so many years.Whoop, Whoop!! Another 20 wins!! Double bye in SBC Tourney. Mid-pack??

Jackson Fields didn’t make the trip last week to stAte and ULM. Any word on if he’ll be available for the final two games? We’re a different team without him. Hemi??
