Sun Belt Basketball Tournament 2023 bracket, schedule, TV info
The 2023 Sun Belt basketball tournament begins Tuesday in Pensacola, Florida, and is set up to be one of the most competitive battles for a conference's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.
Four teams — Marshall, Southern Miss, Louisiana and James Madison — will enter with at least 20 wins. The Golden Eagles, however, survived a final road game Friday at Texas State to clinch the regular-season title and automatic NIT bid if it doesn't win the event and advance to the NCAA field.
The games in Pensacola throughout next week lead up to the March 6 championship game, televised by ESPN2.
Here's the full schedule for the Sun Belt Tournament.
