Game Notes | Live Stats | Audio | Watch

TROY, Ala. – The Trojans have one last game in the month of November and it will take place in legendary Cameron Indoor Stadium. Troy and Duke will square off on Sunday, Nov. 24 in Durham, N.C. with tip-off scheduled for 1 p.m. (CT).

Troy Trojans (3-1)
PPG: 87.8 | REB: 59.5 | FG%: .323 | 3FG%: .244 | FT%: .739
Troy will be playing its second straight game against a Power-5 opponent on Sunday after playing at No. 10/8 Mississippi State this past Monday. The Trojans enter Sunday's contest against Duke with a 2-9 all-time record against teams from the ACC, with both wins coming against Florida State. Troy is coming off its first loss of the season, albeit an impressive one, where Troy scored 82 points against a top 10 team. In scoring 82 points, Troy put up the third-most points scored against MSU since 2016-17 and became just the fifth team in that span to reach 82 points against them.

Duke Blue Devils (3-2)
PPG: 67.0 | REB: 40.2 | FG%: .395 | 3FG%: .316 | FT%: .716
Duke enters Sunday playing in its third straight home game of a five-game home stand. In the first two games of the home stand the Blue Devils are 1-1. Duke's Haley Gorecki is coming off an impressive 30-point career-high against Idaho State where she hit a career best 13 free throws. Duke features a record of 17-6 against Sun Belt Conference opponent with 10 of those wins coming against fellow North Carolina school, Appalachian State. Duke's head coach Joanne P. McCallie is 5-0 all-time against Sun Belt teams but just 1-0 as the head coach at Duke.

Trojan Storylines
• Troy is in the middle of a three-game road trip. The trip started last Monday at Mississippi State and ends next Sunday at Bethune-Cookman
• The streak continued for consecutive games with a new leading scoring. Jasmine LeBlanc became the fourth Trojan this season to lead the team in scoring with her 19 points against MSU
• Both LeBlanc and Alexus Dye are coming off back-to-back double-doubles. The duo became the first pair of Trojans since at least the 2006-07 season to record double-doubles in consecutive games
• On the year Troy has five players averaging double-digit points. LeBlanc and Japonica James lead the way at 13.5 points per game, followed by Kayla Robinson (12.5), Jasmine Robinson (11.8) and Alexus Dye (11.5)
• Jumping on Duke out of the locker room will be key for the Trojans. This season the Blue Devils have struggled entering the second half of games, allowing a combined 103 points in that quarter alone. In their other three quarters, Duke hasn't allowed more than 73 total points
• If Troy makes at least 10 three-pointers in a game the odds of them winning greatly increase. Since head coach Chanda Rigby has been at Troy, the Trojans have posted a 36-3 record when they hit at least 10 triples. Troy has won 11-straight games in that span

One To Watch
Harriet Winchester has quietly had a solid start to the season. The senior guard from Safford, Ala. is averaging five points per game, but her biggest contributions have come on the defensive side of the ball. Winchester currently leads the team in steals with (10) and is third in rebounds per game (6.3). Winchester has also added five assists this season and is one of just three Trojans to have started every game this season.
