Live Stats | Live Video | Game Notes

TROY, Ala. – After getting back on the winning track with a victory over Southern Utah on Tuesday night, the Troy men's basketball team returns to the floor on Thursday as they host UTSA at Sartain Hall at 7:00 p.m.

The Trojans (5-5) stopped a two-game skid with an 80-72 win over the Thunderbirds at home on Tuesday. In that contest, the Trojans welcomed the return of senior Steven Cunningham who missed nearly a month due to an injury.

The Trojans will look to build on that win as they close out non-conference play against a tough UTSA team (5-5) that was in the NCAA Tournament a season ago. The Roadrunners come into Troy after a tough, 77-75, loss at Houston on Tuesday night.

The Roadrunners have played just two of their 10 games thus far this season at home and hold a 4-4 mark away from San Antonio.
