SUNBELT CONFERENCE STANDING TV

12 seed, it would mark the SBC’s highest seeding since 2016, when No. Contrast that with the seedings of past Sun Belt champions: In his latest bracketology projections, Turner’s Andy Katz has Marshall projected as the AQ out of the SBC and locked into a 12-seed. And there’s no better place to see that improvement showcased than the projected seed of the league’s auto-bid winner. That may seem like a marginal difference, but it is an improvement, nonetheless. This year, they’ve jumped up to his 14th-ranked league. Last season, Ken Pomeroy graded the SBC as the 17th-best conference in America. The Sun Belt’s combined conference record is a whole 10 games north of. Four of them are ranked Top-100 in the latest NCAA NET Rankings, something that has held true all season long. Nine of the league’s 14 teams start the week with winning records. Not only has he constructed arguably the strongest Group of 5 football conference, but he’s found a way to raise the profile of Sun Belt men’s basketball in the process. So, in true college fashion, let’s hand out a few midterm grades: Since this column comes out before the league’s Thursday/Saturday format starts, we’ll call this the midway point of the calendar. We’re eight games into the conference slate with 10 to play until tournament time. After that, we should have a better idea of the top-seed heading into the conference tournament. Over the span of the next three weeks, Marshall will visit Louisiana (February 4) and the Ragin’ Cajuns will travel to Southern Miss (February 9). The Dukes were never in the contest, either the game’s only tie came at less than four minutes in, when it was 8-8. The Golden Eagles won convincingly this weekend over JMU, 83-70, getting 61 of their points from the quartet of DeAndre Pickney, Austin Crowley, Denijay Harris and Felipe Haase. Meanwhile, Southern Miss has rattled off three-straight wins and look to have shaken off that 22-point beatdown handed to them by Marshall. The Cajuns and Herd have won six-straight and five-straight, respectively.

Marshall and Louisiana look like the two hottest teams in the conference currently, something I mentioned in last week’s column. That is the trifecta you’ll find at the top of the Sun Belt standings entering the week. Thundering Herd, Golden Eagles and Ragin’ Cajuns, oh my! This is The Sun Belt Slant weekly notebook.
