GAME NOTES
TROY, Alabama – The Troy women's basketball team hosts Little Rock in a key Sun Belt Conference game Thursday at 6 p.m. It's also Dollar Night in Trojan Arena with tickets, popcorn and sodas available for just $1.
The Trojans (11-2, 2-0 SBC) took both games in its conference opening road swing through Coastal Carolina and Appalachian State, but the team faces a different challenge as Troy and Little Rock have won two Sun Belt Conference tournament titles each over the last four seasons.
Little Rock (6-7, 2-0) again played a challenging non-conference schedule and entered league play with a sub-.500 record for the third time in the last four seasons, though the program has won the Sun Belt regular season title three times over that span.
