The Troy women's basketball program is riding a wave of momentum after a record‑breaking campaign that saw the team tie its franchise best with 27 victories and secure a historic berth in the Women’s Basketball Invitational Tournament. The success has heightened expectations as the Trojans prepare to navigate the upcoming Sun Belt Conference slate.
Opening the season at home
The campaign kicks off with a home opener against ULM on December 16, a date that also features a doubleheader pairing the women's and men's teams at Trojan Arena. The event is designed to spark early fan enthusiasm and showcase the program's growing stature within the conference.
A grueling road stretch
From January 6 through January 16 the team embarks on its longest road trip of the league schedule, traveling to Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern, Southern Miss and Arkansas State. The stretch tests depth and resilience while offering opportunities to climb the conference standings early in the year.
Home‑court momentum in the final stretch
The last four conference games are slated for Trojan Arena, giving the Trojans a distinct home‑court advantage as they face App State, Louisiana Tech and the in‑state rivalry with South Alabama. A brief pause for the MAC‑SBC Challenge on February 6 interrupts the flow before the team hits the road again for final contests at Louisiana and South Alabama.
Looking ahead to the SBC Tournament
The regular season culminates with the Sun Belt Tournament in Pensacola, Florida, running from March 2 through March 8. The Trojans will aim to translate their home‑court successes and hard‑earned road wins into a deep run that could cement their place among the conference elite.
