TROY, Ala. – Troy women's basketball will be at home one final time during the 2019 calendar year when they host East Tennessee State University on Wednesday at noon inside Trojan Arena. The Trojans will be hosting their annual education day as well as wearing ugly Christmas sweaters and encourage those in attendance to wear theirs for the game as well.
Troy Trojans (5-2)
PPG: 82.3 | REB: 58.1 | FG%: .329 | 3FG%: .256 | FT%: .726
On Wednesday Troy will look to extend its Trojan Arena winning streak to four games. The Trojans are a perfect 3-0 at home this season with one home game left before closing out 2019 on the road at Chattanooga and Las Vegas. Leading the way for Troy this season has been junior guard Jasmine Robinson who leads the team with 13.3 points per game and 3.1 assists per game. Robinson is one of three Trojans averaging double-digit points with Japonica James averaging 11.8 and Kayla Robinson averaging 11.3.
East Tennessee State University (3-7)
PPG: 60.7 | REB: 35.2 | FG%: .375 | 3FG%: .282 | FT%: .679
East Tennessee State University enters Trojan Arena on Wednesday with a 3-7 overall record and on a one-game losing streak after falling to Cleveland State on Sunday, 54-62. The Bucs defeated Wake Forest of the ACC on Thursday, 67-60. This season ETSU has gotten a lot of its scoring from Micah Scheetz who has started all 10 games and is averaging 15.0 points per game. Sheetz is also averaging 3.6 rebounds per game. Teams have been able to jump on ETSU early in games, as they have been outcored 181 to 145 in the first-quarter this season. ETSU opened the year with a close loss to now ranked No. 23 Tennessee, 68-72. In that game they were led by Erica Haynes-Overton who scored 41-points and grabbed 10 rebounds.
