TROY, Ala. – Troy clawed back from an eight-point deficit at the half to bring the matchup back within a possession but dropped a last-second heartbreaker to Alabama, 82-79, in the first round of the WNIT Thursday in Trojan Arena.
Despite being down as many as 11 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Trojans (24-9, 13-2 Sun Belt) refused to back down, cutting it down to a one possession game with seven seconds to go.
A controversial travel call on a fight for the ball off the inbound in the winding seconds of the contest allowed Alabama (18-13, 6-10 SEC) to run the clock out.
