DOTHAN, Ala. – It was a bit too close for comfort at times, but Troy was able to get past Milligan on Thursday in the Dothan Civic Center 80-67 to conclude non-conference play with a victory.
The Trojans (6-7) had trouble finding a consistent scoring touch throughout the night with various scoreless stretches throughout. Though Troy often broke through Milligan's (4-10) defense, the baskets did not seem to want to fall.
Free throws proved to be the difference in the outcome as the Trojans got to the line all game and made them all game at a 24-30 (80 percent) clip while the Buffaloes shot just three free throws and made just eight.
