BOONE, N.C. – Troy hits the road to Boone for its final regular-season series against Appalachian State, looking to end an eight-game losing streak with Sun Belt Conference Tournament seeding implications on the line.
The Trojans currently sit in seventh place in the standings, two games behind Georgia State for sixth. This is important because currently, Troy will be playing in the single-elimination game on Tuesday of next week, where the sixth-place team is on the double-elimination side of the tournament.
