The full bracket for the 2025 Sun Belt Conference women’s basketball tournament was released late Friday.
Action begins Tuesday at Pensacola (Fla.) Bay Center, with action continuing through Monday, March 10. The Sun Belt unveiled an unusual bracket this year, in which the highest-seeded teams advance all the way to the semifinals, while the lowest-seeded teams might have to win seven games in seven days to claim the championship and an automatic berth in the NCAA tournament.
Regular season champion James Madison is the No. 1 seed, while No. 2 Arkansas State claimed the other quadruple bye to the semifinal round on Sunday, March 9. No. 3 Troy and No. 4 Coastal Carolina advance all the way to the quarterfinals on Saturday, March 8.
