TROY, Alabama – The Troy men's basketball team couldn't complete the comeback as it fell to in-state rival UAB, 79-63, Thursday night at Trojan Arena.
Â
The Trojans worked their way back from a 13-point deficit to tie the game at 32 with 16:29 to go in the second half, but couldn't find a way to take the lead.
Â
Jordon Varnado earned his third-straight game with 20-plus points, shooting 9-of-14 from the floor, on his way to a game-high 24 points, while reeling in seven rebounds. John Walton III led all on the glass with 10 rebounds, narrowly missing a double-double with nine points. Wesley Person shot 3-of-8 from long range on his way to double figures with 13 points.
Â
After a rocky start to the game, UAB quickly jumped out to a 21-8 lead with just under nine minutes to play in the first. The Trojans were relentless as they went on a 13-2 spurt to cut the Blazers' lead to one at 25-24.
Â
The momentum continued to flow in Troy's favor as it came out of the break to go on a 8-0 run, to tie the game at 32. After trading baskets, the Blazers went on their own 13-2 run, which the Trojans could never recover from.
Â
The Blazers were led by Lewis Sullivan, who was near perfect on the night, shooting 6-of-7 from the floor, and 10-of-11 from the charity stripe, on the way to a team-high 22 points. Robert Brown ended the night with 18 points while Nick Norton dished out a game-high 10 assists. The Blazer bench outscored the Trojans', 46-10.
Â
The Trojans hit the road for three games in three days as they head to Denton, Texas, for the Mean Green Showcase, hosted by North Texas. Troy will face Samford, Idaho and North Texas on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.Â
