■ The Trojans started conference play 5-0 for the first time in program history.

■ Troy opened Sun Belt Conference play with a 73-57 win over South Alabama marking the first time the Trojans started SBC play with a win since 2009-2010.

Little Rock, the team Troy defeated in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament championship game last year.

ALL-CONFERENCE TROJANS ■ Two Trojans were named to the Preseason

All-Sun Belt team. Caityln Ramirez was named to the first team while Arjae’ Saunders was named to the third team.

■ Last year, Ramirez and Ashley Beverly Kelley were named All-Sun Belt. It was the first time Troy had two all-conference selections in three straight seasons since 1995-98.

■ Ramirez was selected as All-Sun Belt First Team following the end of the 2016-17 regular season.

TAKING SUN BELT BY SURPRISE ■ Troy advanced to the NCAA Tournament

after winning the Sun Belt Conference tournament for the first time in school history.

■ Troy joined the Sun Belt in 2005, and in its 10 years in the conference prior to this season, the Trojans had never even advanced past the tournament’s quarterfinal.

■ The Trojans’ win over top-seeded Arkansas State was Troy’s first even Sun Belt semifinal appearance.

■ The Trojans’ win over 2-seed Little Rock was Troy’s first title game appearance.

TROJAN TURNAROUND ■ Just five seasons ago (2011-12), the Troy

women’s basketball program went 2-26. Following that season, Chanda Rigby took over, and now the Trojans are coming off in an NCAA tournament berth and have enjoyed the best three-year period in program history.

■ Last season, the Trojans won 20 games for just the fifth time in program history.

ONE YEAR AGOTITLE GAME HEROICS

■ ArJae’ Saunders, Ashley Beverly Kelley and Caitlyn Ramirez led Troy to a dramatic Sun Belt title game win over Little Rock, 61-60, last season.

■ Troy was down by one and playing defense, 60-59, with 30 seconds left when Saunders grabbed a steal to give Troy possession.

■ Beverly Kelley took no time to bury a free throw line pull-up jumper with 20 seconds left, give Troy a 61-60 lead.

■ Little Rock did not use either of its two remaining timeouts, and Ramirez got a buzzer-beating block to reject Little Rock’s driving attempt at a game-winning layup.

1997 NCAA TOURNAMENT

BY TOM STROTHERTHE MONTGOMERY ADVERTISER

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - Despite putting a scare into 13th-ranked, and fourth-seeded, Virginia in its first round West Region NCAA Tournament game, 13th-seeded Troy could only helplessly watch over the last minutes as the Lady Cavaliers muscled up and pulled away for a 96-74 victory. In a game where physical play ruled and long-distance shots just kept falling, the Trojans managed to stay with one of college basketball’s perennial powers for a while. Hobbled with a sprained ankle, Virginia’s Maonick Foote led the way for the Lady Cavaliers with 26 points, while DeMya Walker added 14, and Jackie Glessner and Lisa Hosac scored 13 apiece. Samantha Tomlinson led Troy with 21 points. Dyneshia Bankston added 19. Virginia struggled to build a seven-point lead at the intermission but blistered the nets to open the second half. At one point shooting better than 75 percent in the second stanza, the Lady Cavaliers eventually cooled down to a mere 60 percent from the floor and finished at 52.7 percent (39-of-74) for the game. Troy shot 43.9 percent (25-of-57) but lost the rebounding war, 46-30, and committed 22 turnovers. The game marked the first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament for Troy (23-7). It was the 14th consecutive for Virginia (22-7), and the experience certainly showed. The Trojans put Virginia on notice in the first half - dishing out a hefty share of discomfort for the nationally ranked Lady Cavaliers, as they attempted to speed up the tempo and force the issue inside. Virginia held tough defensively, however, and held Troy’s Mandee Armstrong to just 10 points while wrestling her down inside. The Lady Cavaliers jockeyed their way to a 21-12 lead in the early going before Troy bounced back with a 19-4 run over the next 10 minutes. Three straight baskets by Tomlinson, including two treys, keyed the comeback as the Trojans lit things up from the outside. A putback by Bankston at the 6:39 mark put Troy up, 31-25, but it would be all Virginia from there. Allowing just one more basket the rest of the half, the Lady Cavaliers outscored Troy 16-3 until the break to build a 41-34 lead.

CORVALLIS, Oregon – The 2-seed Oregon State had too much size for the 15-seed Troy to handle, and the Trojans fell to the Beavers, 73-31, in the NCAA First Round on Friday at Gill Coliseum. Troy (20-13) finishes its season after playing in just the second NCAA Championships in program history, and the first since 1997. Troy also won 20 games in back-to-back seasons for the first time in program history and led the Sun Belt in scoring for the fourth straight season. All that after winning just two games four years ago. On Friday against sixth-ranked Oregon State (29-4), the Troy offense never got going against a Beavers’ roster that featured seven players 6-foot-3 or taller. The Beavers outrebounded Troy, 65-42, and outscored the Trojans in paint, 44-8. Troy did hold Jamie Weisner, the Pac-12 Player of the Year, to just two points on 1-of-7 shooting, but 6-foot-6 Ruth Hamblin had 18 points, 18 rebounds and five blocks. Ashley Beverly Kelley and Kristen Emerson each scored nine points to lead Troy. Beverly Kelley, Troy’s lone senior, finishes her career with 1,973 career points, the second most in Troy history and tied for the ninth most in Sun Belt history. Beverly Kelley finishes as Troy’s all-time career leader in games played, free throws made, free throw percentage and steals. She also finishes as the school’s Division I-era leader in scoring. Emerson had a career game for the Trojans, finishing just one off of her career high in scoring. The junior also added eight rebounds and four blocks, bring her career total to 101 rejections, just the sixth Trojan to ever go over the century mark. The Trojans shot a season-low 16 percent (12-of-74) overall and made just 3-of-22 from long range. Troy’s 31 points were the fewest in a game in Chanda Rigby’s four seasons, coming against an OSU team that leads the country in field goal percentage defense. Troy held its own defensively, especially after allowing OSU to shoot 10-of-16 in a 23-point first quarter. The Trojans held the Beavers to 50 points and 36 percent shooting over the final three quarters. Troy also forced Oregon State into 18 turnovers, but scored just 11 points off of the

GAME 33 - NCAA TOURNAMENT FIRST ROUND

RIGBY’S SYSTEM

HIGH-POWERED OFFENSE ■ Troy again has one of the nation’s top

scoring offenses in 2016-17, averaging 82.9 points per game. It is the 8th-ranked scoring offense in the NCAA.

■ Troy’s high-scoring numbers are a product of head coach Chanda Rigby’s signature up-tempo system. Now in her fifth season, Rigby isn’t slowing down. The Trojans’ goal on every possession is to get a shot off within seven seconds.

■ Under Rigby, the Trojans have scored 100 points in 16 games, including in six in 2015-16. Prior to her arrival, Troy had scored 100 points just three times in 19 Division I seasons. They had last scored 100 in a game in 1996-97, a span of 441 games between 100-point efforts.

■ Troy’s six 100-point games last season broke the school record of five held by the 1992-93 team, when the program was Division II.

■ Troy’s 110 points against Thomas University gave the program a 100-point game in five straight seasons for the first time in program history.

■ Rigby’s Troy teams have scored 80-plus points 73 times in her five seasons, something Troy did just seven times in the previous four seasons.

■ Troy has led the Sun Belt in scoring in each of Chanda Rigby’s first four seasons, including in 2013-14 when it averaged 80.4 points per game to become just the second Sun Belt team since 2000 to average over 80.0 points per game (Middle Tennessee, 2009-10, 80.8). The Trojans accomplished the feat once again in 2015-16 when the team averaged 80.2 points per game.

■ Rigby has had success with the system at numerous levels, including the JUCO level where she was before coming to Troy. Rigby’s last two teams at Pensacola State averaged 79.3 and 90.1 points per game on their way to two straight NJCAA Final Four appearances.

PRESSURE DEFENSE ■ Chanda Rigby has also brought a pressure defense with her to Troy. In 2016-17, the Trojans

have forced 21.0 opponent turnovers per game, the best mark in the Sun Belt and the 10th highest mark in the NCAA.

■ Troy has forced all but four opponents into at least 15 turnovers, including 19 of them into 20+ turnovers and one (Thomas) into 45 turnovers this season.

■ Troy forced 45 turnovers against Thomas, the most forced by a Troy team since at least 1999-2000 when opponent turnover stats were first available. The Trojans also recorded 27 steals, which is a program record.

■ In Chanda Rigby’s four seasons, Troy has forced 83 opponents into 20-plus turnovers and 17 into 30-plus turnovers.

Chanda Rigby is in her fifth season as the head coach at Troy in 2016-17. In her first four seasons, Rigby has quickly turned around the Troy program. The program won just two games in 2011-12, the season prior to Rigby’s arrival, but has won 20 games in each of the last three seasons; the first time the program has ever accomplished the feat.

Last season, the Trojans finished 20-13, won the Sun Belt Conference Tournament and qualified for the NCAA Tournament for just the second time in program history. Guard Ashley Beverly Kelley was named first team All-Sun Belt Conference and SBC Tournament MVP. Caitlyn Ramirez took home third team All-Sun Belt honors as well. Rigby’s squad led the conference in scoring for the fourth consecutive season and eclipsed to 100-point plateau six times. The team tied the school record with eight straight wins culminating with a victory in the Sun Belt Tournament championship game.

Troy’s 2014-15 team won 20 games for just the fourth time in program history and made the second postseason appearance in program history. The Trojans posted a 15-5 Sun Belt record, good for a program-best third place finish, then played in the Women’s Basketball Invitational, making a postseason appearance for the first time since 1997. The team also tied the Troy Division I era record with six straight wins in January before breaking the record with eight straight wins to close the regular season.

In addition to a winning culture, Rigby has also brought an exciting, fast-paced tempo to Troy. All four of her teams have led the Sun Belt in scoring offense, and the most recent three teams have both finished in the NCAA’s top 20 in scoring offense. Rigby’s teams have scored 100 points in a game 16 times and have scored 80-plus points 73 times in four seasons.

Rigby has also brought a pressure defense to Troy as the Trojans have forced 83 opponents into 20-plus turnovers in the last four seasons. In 2014-15, the Trojans averaged 12.1 steals per game, ranking first in the Sun Belt and fourth in the NCAA.

In her four seasons, Rigby has coached six first or second team All-Sun Belt selections, more than the program had in its previous seven combined seasons in the Sun Belt Conference. In 2015-16, Ashley Beverly Kelley and Ronita Garrett were both named to the All-Sun Belt First Team, giving Troy two first team selections for the first time in over a decade.
