The Trojans men’s basketball team had a busy week in three fast-paced games at home and in Mobile.
Troy (9-17, 4-11 Sun Belt) fell at home to Georgia Southern on Thursday, but then picked up two more conference wins, toppling Georgia State (13-10, 6-8 Sun Belt) on Saturday, and beating South Alabama 61-54 on Tuesday.
Against Georgia Southern, Troy’s senior forward John Walton III led in scoring with 20 points. Walton achieved yet another double-double. Freshman guard Shawn Hopkins completed his first career double-double, scoring 18 points and 10 rebounds.
