NEW ORLEANS – After five teams claimed a combined seven Sun Belt regular-season division and tournament championships, and with 13 sport programs in all among the top half of the league standings, the University of South Alabama earned the Vic Bubas Cup presented annually to the top all-around program in the conference.
It marks the fifth time in the last seven years — and league-record 15th occasion overall — that the Jaguars have received the trophy named after the conference's first commissioner. South Alabama Athletics recorded a program-record 131 points in the competition in 2020-21, 14 more than runner-up Louisiana.
