TROY — Hyped as the biggest game so far this season, the nearly 2,000 in attendance were not disappointed at Trojan Arena Saturday.
Troy (16-3, 7-1 SBC) used stifling defense, balanced offense and relentless pressure to upend UT-Arlington (12-8, 6-2) 85-69 to snap a three-game skid to the Mavericks, while also taking sole possession of first-place atop the Sun Belt Standings.
“It was a great night in Trojan Arena,” Troy head coach Chandra Rigby said. “We had a great crowd here, a great sixth man with our fans. It was an electric atmosphere. The players came out to play, the coaches were on point.
