TROY, Ala. -- Wesley Person hit six straight free throws in the final minute to complete Troy's comeback to beat Arkansas-Little Rock in the regular season finale 57-54 on Saturday.
Troy entered the game tied with Louisiana-Lafayette for seventh place in the Sun Belt Conference and moved into a tie with Coastal Carolina for sixth after the Chanticleers lost to Appalachian State.
The Trojans own the tiebreaker against both and enters the tournament as the No. 6 seed and will play No. 11 seed Appalachian State in a first-round game Wednesday in New Orleans.
Person was 12 for 12 from the free throw line and finished with 20 points to lead Troy (18-14, 10-8).
