TROY, Ala. – The Troy women’s basketball team will open play in the NCAA Tournament against No. 2 seed Texas A&M, the team learned Monday evening during a selection show party inside Trojan Arena. The Trojans earned the No. 15 seed in the Mercado Region after winning the Sun Belt Conference Tournament last Monday for the third time in their last five opportunities.
Due to COVID-19 forcing the 2021 NCAA Tournament to be played entirely in the state of Texas, Troy (22-5) and Texas A&M (23-2) will face off Monday at 5 p.m. on ESPN2 – the location of the game will be announced shortly. The Trojans and Aggies are joined in the Mercado Region by No. 7 seed Iowa State and No. 10 seed Michigan State. The winner of each first round game will advance to the second round with a spot in the Sweet 16 on the line.
