TROY, Ala. — On a night dubbed Super Tuesday in the Sun Belt Conference, UTA versus Troy University marked the long-awaited reunion between the Mavericks and former head coach Scott Cross.
Cross has deep roots in UTA. He spent over half of his life as a Maverick; 23 altogether and 12 as head coach.
But when UTA took the court against Troy, he had to put those memories away. He’s a Trojan now.
Cross and his staff were fired from UTA in March 2018 because of the program’s inability to break into the NCAA tournament. He compiled a 225-161 record over 12 seasons.
