What's At Stake In Conway
This is a big weekend for Troy who will need a little help in order to secure its second consecutive Sun Belt Regular Season Championship. Although Troy has the most wins in the Sun Belt Conference (13-2), the regular season champion will be decided by winning percentage. The current leader in win percentage is Louisiana who is 11-1 in conference play with a win percentage of .917. Troy's winning percentage is .867. In order for Troy to make up the difference, it will need to go 2-0 against Coastal Carolina and then have Little Rock beat Louisiana once. The Ragin' Cajuns are playing at home this weekend where they 7-1 overall and 6-0 in conference play.

SUN BELT CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT
Troy has clinched the No. 1 seed in the East Division with its 13-2 Sun Belt record. With the No. 1 seed comes a first round bye in the tournament and the luxury of playing all of its games in the Bay Center Arena. Troy's tournament debut will be on Saturday, March 6 at 11 a.m. against the winner of game 1 that will feature the No. 4 seed in the West vs the No. 5 seed in the East.

WINNING CONVINCINGLY
Troy has been on a mission all season, showing no mercy to its opponents. On the year the Trojans have scored at least 80 points in 16 of the 22 games they have played while reaching the 90+ point mark in seven games. When Troy scores at least 80 they are 15-1 on the season. To go along with the high point total is Troy's margin of victory. Troy is beating teams by an average of 14.8 points per game. In conference play they are beating their opponents by an average of 16.9 ppg. The Trojans have not played in a game that has been decided by less than five points this season while 12 games have been won by at least 15 points.

SCORE. THEN SCORE SOME MORE
The Trojans rank third nationally in points per game, averaging 85.7. They trail only Maryland (93.4) and Iowa (88.2). On the year Troy has scored 1,886 points in 22 games. It's the second most points scored this season behind only Arkansas who has scored 2,015 in 24 games. Troy, Arkansas and Stanford are the only three schools who have scored at least 1,800 points this season.

A LETHAL OFFENSIVE ATTACK
Troy can score in bunches with weapons up and down its lineup.

Troy's six players averaging double-digits is DOUBLE the next closest team in the Sun Belt, Texas State and South, who each have just three players averaging at least 10 points per game. Not only is Troy scoring in waves, they are doing it at a high percentage. As a team Troy is shooting 42 percent, the best team shooting percentage since the 2015-16 season when they shot 43 percent and tied for the second-best shooting percentage for Troy in the 21st Century. Individually, Dye leads the team at 51 percent followed by Moore (48 percent) and Emely Rosario (42 percent).
