![]() ![]() Henry currently specializes in betting analysis and picks for college football, college basketball and NASCAR. His love for sports and statistics proved to be an ideal match with the dedicated research and strategy that handicapping requires. ![]() After getting his start penning fantasy football articles, he forrayed into the betting side of the business in early 2019. Henry’s passion for sports dates all the way back to childhood and has ultimately led to a full-fledged career as an analyst and content creator. 7-seed UT Arlington was the biggest underachiever in the Sun Belt this year after they were picked to finish 2nd. 2-seed South Alabama was the projected conference winner, while actual conference winner Little Rock was far and away the league’s top overachiever after being picked to finish 11th. The Sun Belt preseason poll failed to correctly pick the exact final standing of any team in the conference. But in a league where 10-seed Coastal Carolina ranked second in points scored and 6-seed Appalachian State was second in points allowed, it’s fair to expect the unexpected in the conference tournament. 3-seed Texas State earned top marks in both points allowed (64.2) and scoring margin (+8.5), while 4-seed Georgia State led the Sun Belt in points per game (78.6). 1-seed Little Rock somewhat incredulously finished outside the top three in all of the main scoring metrics, checking in at fourth in points scored (73.2) and scoring margin (+3.8) and just sixth in points allowed (69.4). The stats point to the Sun Belt Conference Tournament being as wide open as any this year as well. Whichever way you slice it, the “Fun Belt” figures to live up to its billing. Will chalk hold this year with 1-seed Little Rock or 2-seed South Alabama? Will the 6-seed strike again courtesy of Appalachian State? Perhaps Georgia State can get one on the board for the 4-seed line and win their third straight Sun Belt championship in the process. ![]() The 3-seed, 5-seed, and 7-seed lines have all won a single Sun Belt Tournament in the last ten editions as well. Incredulously, the 6-seed line matches the 2 with a pair of tournament championships with the last coming in 2017. The top two seeds have combined to win just half of the last ten tournaments (three by the 1-seed, two by the 2). In the last decade of the Sun Belt Tournament, this has been the case as well. The theme of the Sun Belt Conference this season has been unpredictability.
