JONESBORO, Ark. (10/29/20) – On Thursday, the Sun Belt Conference announced updates to both men's and women's basketball league schedules, moving each to 18-game divisional-only slates.
With the new start date set for Nov. 25, non-conference competition is up to each institution. The conference regular season is set to begin Jan. 1, 2021, and wraps up Feb. 27.
Both teams will play 18-game schedules against divisional foes, culminating with the 2021 Sun Belt Conference Men's and Women's Basketball Tournaments held March 5-8 in Pensacola, Florida.
In the new divisional format, A-State will play four games each versus its West Division counterparts – two home, two away – against Louisiana, ULM, UT Arlington and Texas State in addition to two games against in-state rival Little Rock.
