Gameday Storylines

- The Trojans will be facing Southern Utah for the second time this season. Troy defeated the Thunderbirds, 80-76, on the road in Cedar City back on November 26, 2011. The win was the first non-conference road win for the Trojans in nearly two seasons.

- Tuesday night's contest marks the first of three games in three nights at Sartain Hall. The Troy women's basketball team will take on Kennesaw State on Wednesday before the men return to the floor on Thursday to take on UTSA. All three games are set for 7:00 p.m.

- Troy comes into Tuesday's game having lost two straight (at Mississippi State, at Belmont). The Trojans however, are 3-0 thus far this season at Sartain Hall, in the 50th and final season at the facility.

- Southern Utah enters the contest well rested, having last played on December 10 at Weber State. The Thunderbirds come into Troy having lost three straight, with the first being the loss to the Trojans back in November.

- Troy, who averages 10.6 three-pointers per game, one of the top marks in the country, will look to regain their shooting touch. The Trojans have made just 11 threes in the last two games, including just three at Belmont, the lowest total for the Trojans since a February win over Denver last season.
