There was a 4-way tie for the Sun Belt regular season championship among Arkansas State, James Madison, South Alabama and Troy. Arkansas State is the highest-rated team in KenPom but are seeded fourth and will play fifth-seeded Marshall today.

The Sun Belt is very top-heavy this year with about 5 solid mid-majors and a LOT of bad teams at the bottom. I think a traditional 14-team bracket (with 2 byes) would've been fine, but hey, it's an interesting gimmick.

The WCC for instance (with Gonzaga and St. Marys) has had this type of format for as long as I remember.  I just think the Sun Belt looks extreme because it has 14 teams.

My god, has a P13 thread actually become legitimatized?

I was just about to post my proposed schedule for the 2054-55 Premier League season.

Well, I guess that settles the question of demon possession.

Going back to the basketball tournament discussion, Delaware was the 12 seed in the Coastal tournament, won four games in a row, and are a game away from the title.
