GAME NOTES

TROY, Alabama – Troy women's basketball hosts ULM at 2 p.m. on Saturday in its final home game of the season and will honor its two seniors during a ceremony at halftime of the men's game.

Troy (15-11, 10-5 Sun Belt) kept pace in the Sun Belt standings with a 72-53 win over Louisiana on Thursday. The Trojans remain in fourth and in position to receive a first round bye in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament set to start on March 6.

On Thursday, Sky'Lynn Holmes hauled in 21 rebounds, a Trojan Arena record and one shy of tying Caitlyn Ramirez's Division I single game record of 22 set last year against Arkansas State. Chelsey Gibson posted her second double-double of the season as the Trojans swept the regular season series from the Ragin' Cajuns for the second time under head coach Chanda Rigby.

ULM (4-22, 1-14) has dropped 12 consecutive games.
