Troy from the Sun Belt conference regular season champs and tournament champs.

Trojans Net ranking is 125th and have a record of 22-11 and are 7-5 in their last 7 games.

The boys are raring to go winning Nebraska‘s first NCAA tournament game.
Expecting them to pull away easily sometime in the 2nd half.

I might actually tune in for this one as a non basketball fan just for history sake

baffles me some people don’t follow the 2nd most popular sport in America, not to mention 2nd favorite men’s sport.

Some people just didn't grow up around basketball and never got into it. I know a bunch of people like that. That's part of what made this run so fun, non-basketball fans getting sucked into living and dying every game.

I'll be watching too.. Unfortunately, we all know what that means.
Same here.... I tuned in the Michigan game, only one so far this year, and only VB match was the loss.

This team will have to overcome our histories, win in spite you and me! 😊

I have a coworker that bet the money line on Troy to win just because I told him I'm going to watch it.
Im either gonna break the curse or they will simply lose.

It’s pretty easy not to like
Not if you ever seen Pistol Pete play.
I too will be tuning in this morning. Go big Red

I am a senile old fuhk here with memories of Chuck Jura, Tom Scantlebury and Leroy Chalk. I want to see this team finally win a Tourney game.
I also remember them playing too going against Jo Jo White and Kansas.

They had 2 Big 8 games on every Saturday in the after noon.

This will be my first March basketball game I've ever watched... I'm not a basketball fan at all but I feel obligated to support this university that I love and want to at least use it for small talk with customers down here in Texas if they do good...

The first day is exciting. I’m glad I no longer work and can watch this all day. Truth be told, I like basketball more than football, so this is my thing. Let’s go Huskers.

Can’t have Mast cold like that. Hes gotta hit his shots. And unless Berke is dunking the ball, he needs to stop shooting.

Looks like Sandfort the only one who can make a basket. Need to just feed him the ball. Defense looks good though.

Lawrence needs to look to score. That would help ease the mauling of Sandfort. Sam also needs to get more involved in the offense.

We are in really good shape. We are getting inside looks We haven't gotten in weeks and they started out shooting lights out from 3, which they don't normally do.

I have this playing in the background and everytime I hear the announcers mention Troys coach "Scott Cross" I swear they're saying Frost and I'm getting PTSD LOL
