The Troy men’s basketball team couldn’t overcome a first-half deficit and fell 68-52 against Sun Belt Conference rival South Alabama in the Trojan Arena Saturday evening.
The Trojans had problems with their shots from behind the arc, only making 6-of-22 (27 percent) after attempting to adapt to the Jaguars’ zone defense.
Senior Alex Hicks recorded a double-double and a season-high of 21 points alongside 13 boards during the game. Sophomore Javan Johnson scored 13 points with 3-of-4 shots made from behind the arc along with three rebounds.
