Troy to Host NCAA Selection Show Watch Party at Baumhower's on Sunday

TROY, Ala. – Troy Athletics is hosting an NCAA Selection Show Watch Party on Sunday from 4-6 p.m. at Baumhower's Victory Grille to celebrate the Sun Belt champion men's basketball team. The Trojans are heading to March Madness for the first time since 2017 after winning both the Sun Belt regular season and tournament titles.

"We are so thankful for our amazing fans and their support all season," head coach Scott Cross said. "We certainly felt their energy Monday night in Pensacola, and they played a critical part in our victory. Getting to the NCAA Tournament is not easy, and we need all of Trojan Nation to come out on Sunday and get behind our guys to celebrate this historic achievement."

Troy Athletics and the entire men's basketball team will be on hand beginning at 4 p.m. ahead of the 5 p.m. television broadcast on CBS. Free Sun Belt Championship mini posters will be available for fans to get autographs from their favorite Trojans. Both of Troy's Sun Belt trophies will be at the restaurant for fans to pose with, plus Troy Cheer and T-Roy will also be in attendance to help celebrate the evening.

The men's basketball team will take over the area located right inside the front doors of Baumhower's (Trojan Talk broadcasts location) so fans can easily access their favorite players and coaches for photos and autographs. Baumhower's features more than 60 TVs throughout the restaurant for easy viewing of the Selection Show.

Troy used a huge final 10 minutes of the game to overcome an eight-point deficit and clinch its third trip to the tournament in program history. The Trojans outscored Arkansas State 36-15 over the final 10:07 to pick up its third win over the last three days. All of Troy's tournament wins came by 13 points or more.

Sun Belt Player of the Year Tayton Conerway exploded for 16 second half points, all during Troy's huge run to close out the game. Conerway was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player after recording a game-high 21 points and grabbing six rebounds. Conerway averaged 20.3 points over Troy's three tournament victories.

Troy will open play in the NCAA Tournament next Thursday and Friday at one of eight regional locations – Lexington, Ky., Providence, R.I., Seattle, Wash., Wichita, Kan., Cleveland, Ohio, Denver, Colo., Milwaukee, Wisc., or Raleigh, N.C.
