A primer on the Sun Belt Conference tournament and our predictions for future matchups

College basketball’s regular season is winding down across the country, and that means it’s time for two things: conference tournaments and the NCAA tournament.

UTA is no exception to this, as the men’s basketball team is preparing to head into the Sun Belt Conference tournament from March 7 to 15. The event will see some changes that will mainly focus on where games will be played.

Where and how the competition will happen

For the first time since 2014, the tournament will not be hosted at Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, Louisiana. Part of the competition will still happen in the city, but the semifinal and final games will take place at Smoothie King Center, the home of the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans.
