What to Know

Troy has enjoyed a four-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They and the Arkansas State Red Wolves will face off in a Sun Belt battle at 9:00 p.m. ET on Thursday at First National Bank Arena. Both teams come into the matchup bolstered by wins in their previous matches.

Winning is just a little bit easier when you drain 11 more threes than your opponent, a fact Troy proved on Saturday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the Warhawks 85-57 at home.

Meanwhile, Arkansas State had already won two in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 12 points), and they went ahead and made it three on Saturday. They skirted past the Jaguars 76-73. Having forecasted a close victory for Arkansas State, the oddsmakers were right on the money.

The Trojans are on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last eight games, which provided a nice bump to their 18-9 record this season. As for the Red Wolves, their victory bumped their record up to 13-14.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Troy have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 40 rebounds per game. However, it's not like Arkansas State struggles in that department as they've been averaging 37.9 rebounds per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
