The Sun Belt announced its conference schedules for both men’s and women’s basketball this week, including both Texas State teams.
The league play format was altered for the 2022-23 season to reflect the Sun Belt’s additions of James Madison, Marshall, Old Dominion and Southern Miss, as well as the subtractions of former members Little Rock and UT Arlington. The conference will now feature two seven-team divisions, with South Alabama, Troy and Southern Miss joining Texas State, Arkansas State, Louisiana and ULM in the West. Each team will play a home-and-home series against their divisional opponents. The men’s teams will additionally play three interdivisional home games and three interdivisional away games, while the women’s teams will play two of each.
“Sun Belt women’s basketball is considerably more competitive with the additions of James Madison, Old Dominion, Southern Miss and Marshall,” Texas State head women’s basketball coach Zenarae Antoine said in a statement. “Our ‘strength’ comes from our membership and in women’s basketball, it is exciting to see how solid that ‘strength’ is as we approach this upcoming season.”
