📈 STOCK UP
🔼 Workin’ Overtime. Troy men's basketball erased a 15-point second-half deficit, rallying to a 74-69 overtime victory against LMU on Tuesday evening. The win marked head coach Adam Howard's first-career win as a head coach.
Trailing 50-35 with 14:49 to play in regulation, Troy outscored LMU 39-19 the rest of the way. The Trojans shot 51.6% (16-of-31) over that span while limiting the Lions to 13-of-43 (30.2%).
Multiple clutch performances fueled the Trojans' comeback, perhaps none bigger than Cauã Pacheco, who forced an LMU turnover before scoring the game-tying basket in regulation. Pacheco continued to disrupt the Lions defensively with two steals in overtime and finished with 17 points.
Donovan Oday recorded his second double-double of the season with 16 points and 10 rebounds, while Jacoi Hutchinson led all players with 18 points on 7-of-15 shooting from the field.
🔼 Opportunity Knocks. The Troy women’s hoops team looks to remain unbeaten when it faces its toughest test of the young 2026-27 season, battling SEC foe Mississippi State tonight in Starkville.
Under head coach Chanda Rigby, Troy has opened the 2026-27 campaign in impressive fashion, earning an 89-78 road victory over Kent State before dominating Thomas University, 104-36, in its home opener.
The Trojans enter tonight's matchup averaging 96.5 points per game while allowing just 57, showcasing the high-powered offensive attack that has become a trademark of Rigby's program.
Tip-off on SEC Network+ is set for 6:30 p.m.
🔼 Leading The Way. Late last month, Troy fifth-year senior Detavia Salter was named a Kay Yow Servant Leader for the 2026-27 season, announced by the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
Salter is one of 66 nationwide student-athletes to receive the prestigious honor across Division I, II, III and junior college programs – each representing what it means to lead through service.
The Kay Yow Servant Leader Award honors Coach Yow's legacy and the young people who carry the fight against all cancer affecting women forward. Student-athletes receive nominations by exemplifying Coach Yow's spirit and reflect her resolve, grace, generosity, and servant's heart both on and off the court. Award winners receive public acknowledgment of their accomplishment and are recognized by a patch they wear on their uniform during the season in which they win the award.
🔼 Mark Your Calendars. The sixth annual Troy Athletics First Pitch Banquet presented by Rick and Shari Smith is scheduled for Friday, Jan. 22, 2027, and will once again be held in Trojan Arena.
The First Pitch Banquet serves as the annual kickoff for the Troy baseball and softball programs. Fans in attendance will have the exclusive opportunity to meet and interact with the players and coaches from both teams.
Fans can purchase their seats or sponsor a table by visiting TroyTrojans.com/FirstPitch.
