NEW ORLEANS, La. – Troy's road to defending the Sun Belt Tournament title will begin on Wednesday afternoon as the Trojans prepare to face rival South Alabama on Wednesday at 5 p.m. in the first round of the conference tournament in Lakefront Arena.

The battle between in-state foes materialized following a narrow 89-83 loss at Georgia Southern in the regular season finale on Saturday. Troy (15-16, 9-9) surged back from 17 down to make it a three-point game with 1:20 to play before Tookie Brown hit a one-handed, desperation three to help buoy the Eagles down the stretch.
