The Troy women’s basketball program enjoyed national attention last week with the team’s appearance in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). The women made history with the postseason game in Trojan Arena, playing host to UAB on Thursday, March 21.
Troy fell to the Blazers in a close, high-scoring affair, losing 93-89, ending the season for the Trojans.
“The team showed so much fight and this was a great game for women’s basketball in general,” Troy Head Coach Chanda Rigby said. “There were relatively low mistakes shooting, 100 percent effort, good strategies on both sides executed by players who were all dialed in and didn’t want their season to end.
