- After Sunday, the Georgia Southern Eagles reached the Sun Belt final by winning five games in a row, joining NC State in 2024 and UConn in 2011 in NCAA history, after upsetting No. 2 seed Marshall 82-78 in Pensacola.
- In their recent regular-season meeting, Troy won 83-78 on Jan. 24; Victor Valdes scored 22 points, and Alden Applewhite shot 54.6%.
