Troy’s MAC-SBC Challenge is set for 2029, and the Trojans kicked off their 2026-27 seasons with high stakes: men’s team hosts UMass for the first-ever matchup in Troy Arena on Nov. 2, while the women travel to face Kent State — their first road game against them. Both squads are hungry for redemption and growth: the men, led by new coach Adam Howard, return key players and aim for another Sun Belt crown; the women, fresh off a 25-win season and WBIT run, bring in 10 newcomers to build on their momentum. Last year’s 3-1 men’s and 1-1 women’s records in the challenge set the bar high — and this season’s opener could be the first step toward another title run.
