Trojan Storylines
• Troy is 2-0 entering the game against Jacksonville State. This is just the third time in coach Rigby's career that Troy has started a season 2-0. The 2019-20 Trojans look to become the first squad under Rigby, and first since 2005-06, to start the season 3-0. Only two teams in program history have started 3-0, 2005-06 and in 1991-92
• Japonica James and Kayla Robinson have been responsible for 43 percent of the teams scoring this season. The two have combined to score 76 points in two games
• Kayla continues to race up the career scoring list. She now has scored 929 points in her career and is just 71 points shy of 1,000 in her career
• After just two weeks on competition, Troy already leads the nation in total rebounds (125) and offensive rebounds (59). They also lead the country in made free throws with 71 on the year
• In the first-quarter of games this season Troy is being outscored 32-28 but then outscoring their opponents 49-26 in the second-quarter
