🔼 Working For The Weekend. Troy hits the road for the first time in 2024 with a trip to Memphis on Saturday for a non-conference showdown at 11 a.m. on ESPNU. Coming off a tough loss against Nevada, there were plenty of positives for the Trojans in the opener, highlighted by the individual performances of Damien Taylor (103 rushing yards and a TD) and Devonte Ross (102 receiving yards and a TD). The matchup with the Tigers breaks a more than 80-year drought between the two schools, with the last game taking place in 1941.

🔼 A Full Slate. Troy women's basketball gears up for another historic run with the unveiling of its complete 2024-25 schedule, which features three 2023-24 NCAA Tournament teams, LSU, Alabama and Marshall, and two in-season tournaments: Great Alaska Shootout and Cherokee Tournament. The Trojans open the season with eight straight road games, beginning with their already-announced MAC-SBC Challenge at Buffalo on Nov. 4. They follow it with a journey to the other side of the nation on Nov. 7 at Montana State for the program's second-ever meeting.

🗣️ "Once again, we have a challenging nonconference schedule to prepare us for Sun Belt play. We will be road warriors throughout November, and then we will all look forward to returning to our fans in Trojan Arena in December." - Chanda Rigby, head coach

🔼 Here We Go. Coming off a third consecutive 20-win season, the Troy men's basketball team has officially set its schedule for the 2024-25 campaign. The Trojans will travel to Arkansas, Oregon, and Houston and host the inaugural Trojan Turkey Tipoff during the week of Thanksgiving. The Trojans, who open their season against Toledo on Nov. 4 in Trojan Arena as part of the MAC-SBC Challenge, will hit the road for the first time of the year on Nov. 9 to take on New Orleans. Troy will then head west to take on John Calipari and Arkansas on Nov. 13.

🗣️ "This will be the most challenging schedule we have had since I have been the head coach at Troy," Cross said. "We will play three really good teams in Arkansas, Oregon, and Houston, who will likely be among the top three teams going into the season. We will definitely be prepared for Sun Belt play after taking on this gauntlet of a non-conference schedule." - Scott Cross, head coach
