Sun Belt Tournament 2023: Bracket, schedule, scores, groups, and extra

The run to the Final Four kicks off in earnest on Tuesday night time, with the Hercules Tires Men’s Basketball Championship.

This has been a slightly tumultuous 12 months within the “Fun Belt,” due to convention realignment. While the strikes have been largely made to handle the altering panorama of school soccer — the Sun Belt added added Marshall, Old Dominion and Southern Miss from Conference USA, alongside James Madison from the Colonial Athletic — the brand new panorama had a big impact on the school basketball season.

All 4 additions completed within the prime half of the conference standings, and every completed with a profitable file on the 12 months. In truth, three of the additions — James Madison, Marshall, and Southern Miss — are among the many prime 4 seeds within the event, with Southern Miss getting into this week as the highest seed.

Marshall at present sits because the highest-ranked Sun Belt crew in Ken Pomeroy’s rankings, ranked 79th. The convention general rose to thirteenth in Pomeroy’s rankings, up from seventeenth a season in the past.

Here is the bracket, together with the schedule of video games.
