Believe It! Troy to Honor 30-Year Anniversary of Unbreakable Record on January 15th

TROY, Ala. – Believe it! Thirty years have passed since the Troy State Trojans set an NCAA men's basketball record by scoring 258 points in a thrilling game against DeVry University on Jan. 12, 1992. As we near the anniversary of this unbreakable record, Troy Athletics is proud to unveil plans to honor the team responsible for accomplishing this incredible feat.

Troy men's basketball will honor the 30-year anniversary of the record in conjunction with its game against Georgia State, an Atlanta-based school like DeVry University, on Saturday, Jan. 15, 2022. As part of this game, the Trojans will roll back the clock to the early 1990s as they don commemorative jerseys with the iconic "Troy State" emblazoned across the chest like the ones worn by the 1992 squad responsible for setting this incredible record.

The highlight of the evening will be honoring the members of the 1992 Troy State men's basketball team led by legendary coach Don Maestri. All team members are invited back for this game as Troy's guests, will receive free tickets to the game and be part of a special presentation during halftime. Members of the 1992 Troy State men's basketball team are asked to RSVP to Stephen Brown at rbrown181103@troy.edu or 334-670-3384.

"We look forward to honoring this incredible team and their unbreakable record as part of this exciting evening in Trojan Arena," Director of Athletics Brent Jones said. "When our fans look back at their fondest memories of Troy Athletics, this game is right at the top as they love to talk about that magical night in Sartain Hall. We cannot wait to welcome back Coach Maestri and all the great former Trojans associated with this historic team. This will be an event that no Trojan fan wants to miss!"
