2017 NCAA Tournament: First Up, Troy

First up for Duke is #15 seed Troy out of the Sun Belt. Small tie between the schools: former Due coach Vic Bubas helped found the Sun Belt.

Bubas, by the way, turned 90 in January.

Troy joined in 2005 and has been to the NCAAs once before.

The most recognizable name for Troy is probably Wes Person Jr., son of the NBA player of the same name and nephew of Chuck Person, both of whom went to Auburn. Person is 6-3 and shoots .400 from three point range. It’s a bit like the Curry family - Persons all seem to shoot well.
