There is a new 20-game SMART schedule coming to Sun Belt Conference Men’s basketball in the 2019-20 season and it will not only affect GS but the NCAA standings as a whole.
The 20-game “SMART schedule” will match up the top teams in the conference so that they are able to match up more than one time, working in the way of a bracket, or “pods” as they call them.
This system is being put in place in order to boost NET rankings and will help select and field out teams for the NCAA Division 1 Men’s Basketball Championship.
