What an impressive victory over Ark LR. The Trojans never gave up although there were times I didn't know if they could do it. Congratulations to Coach Rigby and the Sunbelt champions!

Are we likely to be a 16 seed or will we place any higher?
UALR was a 12 seed last year I think

Very proud of our team and Coach Rigby's efforts over the last 4 seasons. To go from 2 wins the year before she came to TROY all the way to two 20 win seasons, a conference championship and an NCAA birth is awesome. She has won wherever she has coached. That is a testament to her abilities to recruit and coach.
Good luck in the Big Dance ladies. You have earned it!

Big congrats to the ladies! A lot of work paid off.
My only worry is that some school is gonna come knockin' on Coach Rigby's door with a check Troy can't match.
The seedings I've seen projected are: 14 vs. Kentucky, 13 vs. Stanford, and 15 vs. Maryland.
Again, congrats to the ladies. Looking forward to a good game no matter who they take on!

Would Rigby leave? She's made such a connection to this program, her husband is a coach for Elba High School, and her son is on the Troy football team.
What do yall think?

Yes I've thought about this, I think she wouldn't leave for just any job at this moment because of these connections. It would have to be a really big program with a lot of money thrown her way for her to go... She won't leave for some midmajor program IMO

For those who did not see her post game interview with ESPN3. The announcer was asking Coach Rigby the usual questions then she said "what does it mean for your program to be headed to the big dance," Rigby got big eyed, put her face in her hands and began to tear up, she said "we are going to the NCAA tournament". At that moment she realized they had met their goal for this season. It was as awesome as any sports moment I've seen.

I think her connection is very strong here, but I wouldn't expect her to pass up a great opportunity if it came along either. She also has a son in high school if that matters. If if she were to leave after the season I don't think anyone could be upset about it. What she's done for the program has been truly amazing. Just think of what this tournament game, regardless of the outcome, can do for this program. It will be huge in recruiting battles. The amount of media attention already is making everyone in this area take notice. Could be a driving force to get people in Trojan Arena. Great time to be a season ticket holder for basketball.

No need to turn a positive thread into a negative one. You can bash the men's team in one of the many threads. This thread is about the success of the women's team.

One coach is doing what she was hired and paid to do, the other isn't. Kudos to our ladies program and may they make a run in the big dance.

Our alumni group was discussing how the WBB making the the Big Dance has put enormous pressure on the MBB staff and program to succeed and to do it quickly. The WBB has now reminded everyone up close and personal that one can achieve success in BB in Troy at the highest level.
