MONTGOMERY, Ala. – After consultation with the head coaches, the Sun Belt tournament games committee will shift the Sun Belt Championship to a single-elimination format beginning on Friday, May 27.
 
The decision was made following a significant weather delay on Wednesday and in consideration of Thursday's weather forecast and student-athlete rest and recovery during postseason play.
 
The games committee must be confident that the double-elimination bracket would be completed prior to Sunday's NCAA automatic qualifier deadline—and based on Wednesday's weather delay and Thursday's weather forecast it was not confident it could see that bracket to completion, necessitating the change to a single-elimination format.
 
No. 1 seed and 11th-ranked Texas State will face No. 10 seed ULM on Friday at 7:30 p.m. A win would see the Bobcats face the winner of the Louisiana/South Alabama game on Saturday at 7 p.m. The finals are still slated to be played at 1 p.m. on Sunday.
 
All the games will be streamed on ESPN+ and fans can also catch the action on KTSW 89.9 FM with Brant Freeman on the call.
 
Tickets remain available, with prices starting at just $10.
