TROY, Ala. – After a four-game road trip, the Troy Men's Basketball team returns home to Trojan Arena Wednesday night to take on Rust College at 7:30.
The Trojans haven't had a game since at home since their triple-overtime 69-65 win over Jacksonville State back on November 16.
Troy claimed the Paradise Classic during that time, going 2-1 in the tournament with wins over UT-Martin and FAU and the loss coming to against North Dakota. Troy will look to bounce back from their Sunday loss to Florida.
This will be the first-ever meeting between the Trojans and the Bearcats out of Holly Springs, Mississippi.
