TROY, Ala. – Troy is ranked No. 24 in the World Exposure Report Preseason Women's Basketball Top 25 Poll released Tuesday afternoon. The Trojans return four starters from last year's squad that posted a 22-6 record and put a scare into No. 2 Texas A&M in the NCAA Tournament.
Troy advanced to its third NCAA Tournament in its last five opportunities last year after winning the Sun Belt Conference Tournament. It was the Trojans' second straight league title following a regular season crown in 2019-20.
Troy made national headlines in the NCAA Tournament against the Aggies when it erased a 16-point deficit to take the late in the fourth quarter before narrowly falling to the SEC champions by just four points.
