NEW ORLEANS – The fourth-seeded Troy women's basketball team is eyeing its third consecutive title as it takes on No. 5 South Alabama in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament quarterfinals on Thursday at 2 p.m. in Lakefront Arena.
The Trojans (17-12) won the tournament as a No. 4 seed in 2016 and as the No. 3 seed last season. Troy and South Alabama have met thrice in the tournament with the Trojans taking two of those matchups including a 62-49 decision in the 2016 quarterfinal round.
It was a rollercoaster regular season for the Trojans after losing seven seniors from last year's squad.
