The Trojans were picked to win the Sun Belt Conference in the preseason by the league's coaches. Troy won the Sun Belt Conference Tournament last season and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in program history. The squad finished the season 20-13, it's second straight 20-win campaign.
Under head coach Chanda Rigby, the Trojans have led the league in scoring four consecutive seasons and have eclipsed to 100-point plateau 12 times.
Preseason All-Sun Belt forward Caitlyn Ramirez returns for her senior season after averaging 11.9 points and seven rebounds per game last year. She scored in double-digits 23 times and posted over 20 points three times.
Also returning is Preseason All-Sun Belt selection ArJae' Saunders. The Washington, D.C., native averaged 12.4 points, which was 10th-best in the league. She scored 20-plus points in seven games including a game-high 21 against Little Rock in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament championship game.
