TROY, Alabama – The Sun Belt Conference announced the 2018-19 men's and women's basketball schedules on Tuesday utilizing an 18-game conference schedule for each men's and women's basketball program.
Â
The conference will utilize an 18-game conference schedule for each men's and women's basketball program for a third-straight year in 2018-19. The conference schedules will feature a mirror schedule format for the first time as men's and women's teams will play at different venues, and not play doubleheaders, over the course of a Thursday-Saturday conference game week.
Â
The 2018-19 conference schedules will feature other aspects from previous seasons as well. In addition to maintaining the Thursday-Saturday format, league contests will continue to be played using travel partners for two-game road trips to maximize rest, minimize travel times and limit missed class time. Men's and women's basketball teams will only travel four times for two-game road trips and will each take just one, single-game road trip all season. Those single-game road trips will be for rivalry games. Selected rivalry games will still be played as doubleheaders, per requests from those competing institutions.
Last week, the conference office announced the implementation of a 20-game "smart" schedule as the men's basketball format as well as changes to the conference tournament for both men's and women's programs effective at the start of the 2019-20 season.
Â
Troy opens its 2018-19 conference slate on Jan. 3 against Coastal Carolina with the women playing in Conway, S.C., and the men playing in Trojan Arena. The teams also wrap up conference play against the Chanticleers on March 9.
Â
The league changed the conference tournament format slightly this season with the No. 7 and No. 8 seeds hosting first round games against the No. 9 and No. 10 seeds. The second round through the championship game will be hosted at Lakefront Arena in New Orleans.
Â
Start times for conference games will be announced at a later date.
