TROY – Home is indeed sweet for the Troy basketball team.
Playing its best two-game stretch of the season, Troy defeated Sun Belt East Division leader Appalachian State 65-59 on Saturday at Trojan Arena to take back-to-back victories over the Mountaineers.
The Trojans (8-9 overall, 3-5 Sun Belt) won 71-62 on Friday night and have beaten App State (12-7, 6-4) in three of four games this season.
“I couldn’t be more proud of a basketball team,” Troy coach Scott Cross said. “I’ve been doing this since 1998 and been a head coach since 2006 and honestly this is probably as proud of a basketball team that I’ve ever been.
