Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. We need to beat TX State Friday night while App loses their game this weekend to win the title. We need to create the most hostile environment TX State has ever played in Friday night. We need them to feel as if they have entered a chamber of horrors and that they have no way to escape the nightmare. Help me make that a reality Friday night. If you can get to Troy by 8 PM, DO SO.

Preface this post with the news that Troy Men's won tonight's contest over UTA at the Arena!! Ugly win but a W is a W!
Troy avenges its New Year's Day loss against UT-Arlington with a 59-53 victory in Trojan Arena.
Into the Mind of Coach Cross
"It was a very ugly basketball game. Both teams battled hard defensively. UTA played with a ton of effort. They did get us a little bit out of sync offensively. To have 22 turnovers is probably a season-high for us, so they were very disruptive."
"I think we won the game on the glass. To have 46 rebounds in a game and outrebound them by 20-plus is why we were able to pull this one out. It was a hard-fought win. To be able to win a game when you don't shoot a high percentage and have 22 turnovers is a credit to our guys. It's really amazing that our guys have put ourselves in this position."
Revenge Statistics
• With this win, Coach Scott Cross claimed his first victory over his former school at Trojan Arena.
• Troy overcame a rough night controlling the ball, tying a season-high 22 turnovers.
• Odigie played off the bench for the first time since Mercer on December 22, 2021, contributing a team-high 10 rebounds and five points.
• With its 19th win, Troy is just one win away from its first 20-win season since 2009-10.
