TROY – It looked as though it was going to be a banner day for the Troy basketball team after a first half in which senior sharpshooter Wesley Person became the all-time Sun Belt leader in career 3-pointers made and the Trojans enjoyed a 14-point lead at the break over visiting Coastal Carolina.
But a 12-0 scoring run midway through the second half got Coastal back in the game and the Chanticleers made the big plays down the stretch to stun the Trojans 74-73 on Saturday at Trojan Arena.
“It was a tale of two halves,” Troy coach Phil Cunningham said.
