GAME NOTES

TROY, Alabama – Troy looks to win its fifth consecutive home game and 11th straight at home in Sun Belt Conference play as Louisiana visits Trojan Arena Saturday at 2 p.m.

The Trojans (15-3, 6-1) dominated ULM from start to finish in a 78-56 win on Thursday. Kayla Robinson led the way with 20 points, while Sky'Lynn Holmes posted a game-high 16 rebounds. ULM entered the game with the Sun Belt's top defense (57.8 ppg), but were doomed by Troy's 53 percent fourth quarter performance. The Trojans also recorded a season-high 10 blocks in the game.

In a rematch of the 2017 Sun Belt Conference Tournament championship game, Troy looks to win its fourth straight over Louisiana.
