NEW ORLEANS – The Sun Belt Conference announced the 2022-23 men's basketball schedule today, and the conference will utilize an 18-game conference slate.

Georgia Southern plays host to Arkansas State, ULM and South Alabama and travels to Texas State, Louisiana and Southern Miss for single games to round out the slate.
"We're excited to welcome James Madison, Old Dominion, Marshall and Southern Miss into the Sun Belt - four programs with quality coaches and student-athletes that make the Sun Belt an extremely competitive league," said Georgia Southern coach Brian Burg. "Every Sun Belt game is going to be a battle, and we're looking forward to the challenge of an 18-game schedule with nine of those coming in Hanner Fieldhouse."
The conference slate will keep a primary Thursday-Saturday format except for the final week of the season which will feature games on Wednesday and Friday.
Each team will open its conference season on Thursday, Dec. 29, and the Eagles will host South Alabama before traveling to Coastal Carolina for a New Year's Eve contest.
