SBC Men's hoops changes tournament format

[NewsCopy]

The Sun Belt voted at its spring meetings this week to continue to play a double round-robin men's and women's basketball schedule.

That means teams will play 18 regular-season conference games next season, and 20 in the 2014-15 season, when Western Kentucky leaves for Conference USA but Georgia Southern and Appalachian State join the SBC.

I like the tournament format change for the reasons that John Brady stated in the article, and the fact that the tournament will be closer to Lafayette.

But unless the league gets significantly stronger in 2 years, a 20 game conference schedule really limits your opportunities to improve out of conference.
