Here is the men's basketball preseason Sun Belt Coaches' Poll:
1. Georgia State (8) - 139 2. Louisiana (2) - 125 3. Texas State - 110 4. App State (2) - 109 5. South Alabama - 105 6. Arkansas State - 89 7. Coastal Carolina - 69 8. Little Rock - 46 T9. Troy - 40T9. UTA - 40 11. Georgia Southern - 39 12. ULM - 25
This is the highest Troy has been picked to finish over the past 4 seasons, back to when Phil Cunningham was still HC.

Coach Cross will win here. He will get it done. I would expect Championships (with an S) over the next 5 years. But not this year! I hope but probably not this year.

When is it comes Coach Cross, he i building a program and we can see the Basketball program getting better . His attitude is also the attitude of a winning coach and he seems to be recruiting well! I am willing to be patient with him and i have confidence that he will continue to grow the program! He won me when he dressed up in the throwback football uniform to fire up the fans!

A) it's his third season B) We have the best facility in the conference C) BB is the easiest sport to turn around quickly. I really like coach Cross but this is year three and time to show major improvement. I don't expect us to win the conference but I do expect us to be better than #9. ODU coming in next season is going to up the men's and women's BB in the conference (although we can say proudly that Troy is the TOP DOG in WBB right now!!)

See no road blocks for him winning now in his third year. With the transfer portal and basketball needing fewer players to win, an excellent coach should be producing results, winning record and challenging for the conference.

ODU coming in next season is going to up the men's and women's BB in the conference (although we can say proudly that Troy is the TOP DOG in WBB right now!!) I'm willing to give him 5 years. Many basketball coaches that try to actually build a program require 4-5 years to really get it done.
Mike Krzyzewski went 38-47 in his first 3 seasons at Duke. After that, he created and maintained a dynasty.
Bruce Pearl went 44-54 and his first 3 seasons at Auburn. Now they're dominant.
Porter Moser went 32-61 in his first 3 seasons at Loyola-Chicago. Now look at em.
Paul Mills went 39-55 in his first 3 seasons at Oral Roberts. Now look at em.
