๐Ÿ”ผ Grand Opening. Nothing like opening the season with a flare for the dramatics, huh

Five Trojans scored in double figures as the 2025-26 Troy men's basketball team opened its campaign with a thrilling overtime win on the road, defeating Kent State on Monday night, 103-97.

It was Cooper Campbell who delivered at the end of regulation for Troy, going coast-to-coast for a game-tying layup with one second left to send the game to an extra period. 

Campbell stayed hot in overtime, scoring seven points along with Theo Seng, who finished with a game-high and new career-high 24 points. Victor Valdes also posted a career-high in the win with 23 points.

Thomas Dowd played a huge part down the stretch, finishing with his sixth career double-double with 19 points and 13 rebounds.

๐Ÿ”ผ Rolling The Rockets. It may be a different season, but the results remained the same as the Troy womenโ€™s hoops squad opened the 2025-26 campaign in dominant fashion on Monday night, rolling past Toledo, 88-51, in the first installment of the SBC-MAC Challenge.

All five Troy starters excelled in under 26 minutes of play, combining for all but 13 of the 88 points scored. Emani Jenkins shot well from behind the arc with a team-high three triples to lead the team with 18 points. Fortuna Ngnawo followed close behind with 17 points and a career-high four blocks, while Zay Dyer (16), Ashley Baez (12) and Rachel Leggett (11) also ended in double-figures.
