Obviously the game isn't until Saturday, but my boss assigned me to write THIS FAREWELL STORY in the Thursday paper because it was the best day to run it. (photos from Troy)
Saturday against UALR marks the final game in Sartain Hall. I've seen a lot of basketball over the years. The best game I ever saw Troy play was the 76-49 win over Western Kentucky in 2006. It was a one-point game at halftime, thanks to an alley-oop from Bobby Dixon to Sammy Sharp that went in after the buzzer, but referees called it good. Dixon nearly had a triple-double, finishing with 18 points, 16 assists and 9 rebounds.
Most of those assists went to Boo Ramsey, who drilled 7 3-pointers. WKU had a very good team that year, but Troy was just hot.
Others recounted some more memories in the story linked above.
Oh, Troy has a game tonight as well, at Arkansas State. Trojans are 8-15, 3-9, while Arkansas State is 10-17, 4-8. ASU has some good players, but it's certainly a winnable game for the Trojans. Game is at 7 p.m.
So long, Sartain
