TROY —- Unable to contain Texas State’s shooting on all three levels, Troy fell in its regular-season finale on Friday night, dropping a 61-52 decision at Trojan Arena.
The Trojans (19-10, 10-5 SBC) now set their sights on the Sun Belt Conference Tournament in Pensacola, Fla., sitting fourth in the standings with a guaranteed first-round bye. They will play the South Alabama-Little Rock winner in the second round on Saturday.
“They hit shots,” Troy head coach Scott Cross said of Texas State, the regular season Sun Belt champs. “All the credit goes to them. I thought we played really good defense and played as hard as we could.
