Lady Trojans will open NCAA Tournament at Mississippi State on Friday

Several differences are apparent in the Troy women’s basketball team’s repeat trip to the NCAA Tournament, and one of the major ones is the distance traveled.

After facing Oregon State on the road last year, the Trojans will play at Mississippi State Friday at 1:30 p.m. The Trojans (22-10) battle the host Bulldogs (29-4) in another battle between the 2 and 15 seeds, but this one is much closer to home.

“We’re definitely excited to be closer this time. We’re maybe four, four-and-a-half hours from Troy,” said Troy senior forward Caitlyn Ramirez of the trip to Starkville.
