TROY, Ala. – With the 2025-26 basketball season officially upon us, Troy athletics is proud to announce its annual Military Appreciation Games in Trojan Arena. For the men, it will be Tuesday, Nov. 11, against Pensacola Christian, while the women will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 12, against Chattanooga.
"Our Military Appreciation Game means so much to me, personally," head women's basketball coach Chanda Rigby said. "From the bottom of my heart, I thank every man and woman who serves. We fully understand that it is only because of the sacrifices of the men and women who serve (and who have served) that we are able to enjoy the freedoms that we get to experience daily."
To show our appreciation to all military members, both active and retired, complimentary tickets can be received through VetTix and/or by showing their military ID at the ticket window. There will also be a special giveaway to the first 300 students for the men's game and the first 300 fans for the women's matchup, with a free special edition military t-shirt.
"A very wise man once told me, 'Freedom is not free,' head men's basketball coach Scott Cross said. "I know that I am able to coach basketball because of the brave men & women that serve to protect our country each & every day. I am forever grateful to everyone, both past & present, who has served to protect our great nation.
