STATESBORO - The Sun Belt Conference has released the bracket for the 2021 Sun Belt Conference Basketball Championships, which begin on Friday, March 5, in Pensacola, Fla.
Georgia Southern women's basketball is the fifth seed out of the East Division and will play the fourth seed out of the West Division, Texas State, in the first game of the tournament on Friday at 12:30 p.m. ET. The game will be played at Hartsell Arena on the campus of Pensacola State College.
The winner of the Georgia Southern-Texas State game will advance to the quarterfinals on Saturday, taking on the top seed from the East Division, Troy, at Noon from the Pensacola Bay Center. The semifinals will take place on Sunday and the 2021 Sun Belt Conference Women's Basketball Championship Game will be on Monday.
This is the fourth appearance for Georgia Southern in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament and the third in the last four seasons. The Eagles did not qualify in their first two years in the league, then lost a 61-54 first-round decision to Arkansas State in the 2017 tournament. Georgia Southern then played a memorable triple overtime game against Louisiana in 2018, falling 88-81 to the Ragin' Cajuns. The Eagles did not qualify in 2019, then last season, lost 81-64 at Louisiana in first-round action.
Georgia Southern is 3-7 all-time against Texas State. The two teams did not play this season as there was no cross-divisional play. The last meeting between the two teams came on February 27, 2020, with Texas State winning 72-68 in San Marcos.
