TROY – The Troy basketball team continued on a roll … or should we say bounce … during a 68-53 win over Appalachian State on Saturday at Trojan Arena.
The Trojans improved to 12-5 overall and 3-1 in Sun Belt Conference play and have now won seven of their last eight games. The 12 wins eclipse the Trojans’ win total of a year ago with 14 games still left on the schedule.
Troy’s quality depth was on display during the victory.
With sharp-shooting point guard Duke Deen held to nine points – all in the second half, including four coming on free throws in the final minutes – leading scorer Efe Odigie limited to 11 hard-earned points and key players Duke Miles (guard) and forward Zay Williams (forward) missing due to the COVID-19 protocol, the Trojans turned to some others to step up.
