Troy basketball headed to NCAA tournament after winning Sun Belt title

Troy is headed to the NCAA 94-81 victory over Arkansas State in the Sun Belt Conference championship game on Monday night in Pensacola, Fla.

The Trojans (23-10) overcame an eight-point second-half deficit on the strength of a 23-4 run, surging ahead by double digits in the final three minutes before closing out the win. Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year Tayton Conerway scored 21 points — 16 in the second half — and Myles Rigsby added 20 to lead Troy to its third victory in three days at the Pensacola Bay Center.

Troy will learn its postseason fate on the NCAA Tournament Selection Show at 5 p.m. Sunday, with live television coverage on CBS.
