MANHATTAN, Kan. – The Troy men's basketball team (4-3) hits the road for a tough matchup against Kansas State (6-3) on Sunday afternoon at 5 p.m. on Fox SportSouth. The game marks the beginning of a very challenging four-game road stretch for the Trojans.
The Trojans haven't played since last Saturday, when Troy took down in-state foe Alabama State at home, 85-69. Kevin Thomas had another impressive performance, picking up his second straight double-double, finishing with 19 points and 11 rebounds. Antoine Myers also finished with 19 points and added a team-high six assists.
Myers leads the team in scoring this season at 13.6 points per game. Thomas is right behind him at 12.9 points per game and is leading the team in rebounding at nine boards per contest.
Kansas State is riding a four-game winning streak heading into Sunday. Last time out, the Wildcats beat South Dakota, 64-62, at home.
Marcus Foster paces the Wildcats with 14.4 points per game, with Thomas Gipson right behind him at 12.1 points per contest. As a team, the Wildcats are scoring 65.3 points per game and outrebounding their opponents by 2.3 per contest.
