JONESBORO, Ark. (Interstat) — A marquee Sun Belt Conference women’s basketball showdown with potential championship implications is set for Tuesday night when the Troy Trojans visit the Arkansas State Red Wolves. The matchup at First National Bank Arena features two of the league’s top teams. Troy (23-4 overall) enters on a seven-game winning streak and sits atop the conference standings. Arkansas State (22-7) has won three of its last four and remains in close pursuit. The teams met earlier this season, with Troy delivering an 86-64 rout at home on Jan. 10. The Trojans will look to replicate that performance and complete the regular-season sweep. All eyes will be on Troy forward Zay Dyer, who is coming off a historic performance. In Saturday’s 97-80 win over Southern Mississippi, Dyer recorded a dominant 21-point, 20-rebound double-double. Over her last eight games, she has averaged 16.8 points and 9.4 rebounds, showcasing her consistent inside presence. Arkansas State counters with guard Mia Tarver, who is coming off a strong outing in a 92-66 win at Louisiana-Lafayette on Saturday, scoring 17 points in just 17 minutes. Her efficiency will be crucial against a potent Troy offense. The Trojans have been a model of high-scoring consistency, surpassing 80 points in five of their last seven games. Their recent win over Southern Miss also featured double-doubles from Rachel Leggett (15 points, 10 rebounds) and Fortuna Ngnawo (14 points, 12 rebounds). Arkansas State has shown resilience, bouncing back from a three-game skid in early February. Their defense, which held opponents under 70 points in the recent wins over Texas State and Coastal Carolina, will be tested by Troy’s offensive firepower. Tuesday’s result will significantly impact the Sun Belt landscape as the regular season enters its final stretch. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. CST.
