2026 Tournament PreviewCoach Scott Cross has guided the Trojans to their fifth consecutive 20-win season and fourth NCAA Tournament bid in program history after winning the Sun Belt tournament as the top seed. Troy is led by 6-7 Victor Valdes (14.8 ppg, 4.6 apg) and 6-8 Thomas Dowd (14.8 ppg, 10.1 rpg), who has 17 double-doubles this season. Defensively, the Trojans are tough on the perimeter, ranking top 50 nationally in opponent three-point percentage. Offensively, they struggle from the perimeter, hitting just 33.2 percent from distance -- 220th. The biggest concern, though, might be rebounding, as they rank 233rd in defensive rebounding rate, with no player taller than 6-9. It will help if 6-9 senior Theo Seng (12.9 ppg, 5.8 rpg) returns from a six-game absence (knee), though fellow 6-9 senior Jerrell Bellamy (8.2 ppg, 3.5 rpg) has played well in his stead, averaging 15.3 points and 5.5 rebounds with Seng out. Troy has an impressive Quad 1 win at San Diego State, in addition to two Quad 2 wins (UAB, Akron). Don't sleep on this mid-major.
