Fun Belt

The Sun Belt also tips off tourney play this Wednesday from Pensacola, Florida.

Texas State won its first ever regular season title going 12-3. They missed 3 games due to COVID. Appalachian State went 12-6 and finished 2nd. Both are 129th and 152nd in KenPom respectively. Neither has a top-100 win.

South Alabama who went 9-7, has the best KenPom number at 126. The league has 5 other teams between 146-190 in KenPom. There is some parity in its mediocrity.

It appears Coastal Carolina is the only Sun Belt member to notch a top-100 win and that was over a bad South Carolina team. The Sun Belt hasn’t been all that good this year and it would be a bit of a surprise to see them pull an upset in a few weeks. Think this one is wide open


The Pick: South Alabama
