NEW ORLEANS – Head coach Chanda Rigby inherited a two-win program in 2012, and now just four years later the Troy women's basketball team is the 2016 Sun Belt Tournament Champions after a 61-60 over Little Rock at Lakefront Arena on Saturday.
Troy will make the second NCAA Tournament appearance in program history, and its first since 1997. The NCAA Tournament field will be announced as part of ESPN's Selection Special Show on Monday, beginning at 6 p.m. CT. NCAA First Round games will be held on Friday and next Saturday.
On this Saturday night, the Sun Belt championship game came down to the final two possessions, and Troy's All-Sun Belt players came up big when they needed to.
