TROY, Ala. – To continue its 2024-25 season, the Troy women's basketball program officially received the Sun Belt Conference's WNIT automatic qualifier bid Thursday morning, awaiting the bracket announcement on Sunday to accept a postseason offer.
"We are thrilled at the opportunity to continue our season and to represent Troy University well on a national stage," head coach Chanda Rigby said.
Last year, the Trojans received a first-round bye in the WNIT and raced into the Fab 4, where their historic run ended to Minnesota, 74-69. Troy opened the tournament with a 92-62 onslaught over FIU for the program's first-ever postseason victory before beating North Carolina A&T, 89-75, and ULM, 89-75.
The Trojans ended their Sun Belt Conference run in the semifinals to the eventual tournament champions, No. 2 Arkansas State. Troy currently sits at 20-13, 13-5 SBC to enter the SBC Tournament as a top 4 seed for the 10th straight season and have 20-plus wins in Rigby's ninth season.
