Saint Francis (PA) vs. Troy
FORT MYERS, Fla. (Interstat) — The Troy Trojans look to get back to .500 on the season when they host the struggling Saint Francis (PA) Red Flash in a non-conference men’s basketball matchup Wednesday in the Coconut Hoops event.
The Trojans (4-4) are coming off a 75-68 home loss to Toledo on Monday. Thomas Dowd recorded a double-double with 10 points and 11 rebounds in the defeat, while Theo Seng led the team with 18 points. Troy has shown resilience this season, with dramatic overtime victories over San Diego State and Kent State.
Saint Francis (PA) seeks its first win, carrying an 0-5 record into the contest. The Red Flash are reeling from a 94-57 road loss to Belmont on Monday. In that game, Ahmad Harrison scored 17 points and Skylar Wicks added 16 points and seven rebounds. The team has faced a difficult early schedule, with its five losses coming by an average of 27.6 points.
The game pits Troy’s up-tempo offense, which has eclipsed 100 points three times this season, against a Saint Francis squad that has yet to score 70 points. The Red Flash will need a strong defensive effort to contain the Trojans and find a path to their first victory.
