Complete Sun Belt men’s basketball tournament bracket
The Sun Belt Conference released its full 2024 basketball tournament bracket late Friday.
The tournament begins Tuesday and runs through Monday, March 11, at Pensacola (Fla.) Bay Center. The tournament champion earns the league’s automatic bid to the 2024 NCAA tournament.
No. 1 Appalachian State, No. 2 James Madison, No. 3 Troy and No. 4 Arkansas State receive double-byes to the quarterfinal round on Saturday, March 9. The Trojans play their first tournament game at 5 p.m. that day.
South Alabama is the No. 8 seed and will face No. 9 Georgia Southern at 11:30 a.m. Thursday. A win in that game would move the Jaguars into a quarterfinal game vs. the top-seeded Mountaineers.
