TROY — The trophy was the first thing off the bus, carefully cradled in a player’s fatigued arms.

The Troy men’s basketball team, after a joyous Sunday that included a conference championship and an NCAA Tournament berth, returned home at almost midnight to find a throng of support waiting.

About 50 students and fans were outside Trojan Arena to applaud the Trojans and their newly won prize.

“Just unreal,” junior guard Wesley Person said, describing how his Sunday went.

“We’ve come a long way, from a nine-win season last year and we’re up to 22 right now and Sun Belt champs,” Person said.
