In a battle of teams that haven't lost since September, Arkansas State travels to Troy on Saturday night at Troy, Ala., in what figures to be a pivotal matchup in the landscape of the Sun Belt Conference West Division title race.
ASU (4-4, 3-1) is riding a three-game winning streak and has not lost since its conference opener on Sept. 27 at Louisiana-Monroe. Troy (6-2, 4-0) has rattled off five consecutive victories since falling at home to Memphis on Sept. 13.
With four games left on their regular-season schedules, the winner Saturday night will be positioned to control its own destiny in the race for the division title.
