2012-13 SUN BELT CONFERENCE MEN’S BASKETBALL About the Sun Belt Formed in 1976 the Sun Belt Conference quickly rose to the greatest heights of collegiate athletics by sending a team to the NCAA Final Four in the league’s first year of existence. Fast forward 36 years and the league again finds itself at the pinnacle of collegiate athletics as a member of the 11-league alliance of the Bowl Championship Series. During the 2012-13 season the Sun Belt Conference’s membership will consist of Arkansas-Little Rock, Arkansas State, Florida Atlantic, FIU, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, Middle Tennessee, North Texas, South Alabama, Troy and Western Kentucky University. Ten of the 11 current Sun Belt members play football at the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level. As the conference moves forward to the year 2013, the league will be comprised of 12 members with Arkansas-Little Rock, Arkansas State, Georgia State, Florida Atlantic, LouisianaLafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, Middle Tennessee, South Alabama, Texas-Arlington, Texas State, Troy and Western Kentucky University. The reformatted league will have 10 football playing members of the 12 total members. The league’s new look will feature two evenly matched and geographically logical divisions divided into an East Division and West Division. Because of its status as a member of the Football Bowl Subdivision, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 18-member Board of Directors. As a result, the conference has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics and will always have a role in the implementation of any future NCAA legislation and guidelines. The conference continues to utilize television to grow and promote the league and its member institutions. The Sun Belt Conference signed a new multi-year agreement with ESPN, Inc. in
2012 that will result in unprecedented national coverage for the league. Fans of the Sun Belt Conference can look forward to seeing more Sun Belt teams playing on national television on ESPN and ESPN2 and additionally the new ESPN deal will result in more coverage on ESPNU. ESPN will continue to televise the conference’s men’s basketball championship game for the 32nd straight season in 2013, marking its longest affiliation with any conference in the country. The conference’s regional television partnership with Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS) and Cox Sports Television (CST) enables live telecasts of Sun Belt events to reach millions of households. The addition of volleyball, baseball and softball to the conference’s television package has resulted in more national and regional television exposure for the league than at any time in its history. Success has been easy to find in recent years as well. Since the 2007 football season, the Sun Belt Conference ranks fifth out of the 11 FBS conferences in postseason bowl game winning percentage. In fact, the Sun Belt Conference ranks ahead of noted “Big Six” leagues – the ACC, Pac-12 and the Big Ten. Furthermore, the Sun Belt Conference outpaces its non-automatic qualifying BCS partners in the WAC, Conference USA and the MAC. The world has taken notice of the Sun Belt Conference as well. Proof of that comes as the league now has two automatic tie-ins to postseason bowl games. The R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl agreement with the Sun Belt Conference ensures that a Sun Belt team will play in that bowl game through 2013 (the league has sent a team to that game every year since the game’s inception in 2001). The Sun Belt Conference also recently signed an
In 1979 the Sun Belt Conference became known as a leader in college sports broadcasting by being the first conference to sign a long-term contract with ESPN. Sun Belt Conference events can be seen regularly on the ESPN family of networks today. 4

Sun Belt member institutions showed continued progress with the latest release of the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores and the future of the league’s APR scores looks bright as well. In 2011, the Division I Board of Directors voted to move the minimum academic standard for postseason participation from 900 to 930. Additionally, the previous benchmark score of 925 that could result in sanctions will also change to 930. The new postseason eligibility structure will take effect in the 2012-13 academic year, with a two-year implementation window before the benchmark moves from 900 to 930. For access to postseason competition in 2012-13 and 2013-14, teams must achieve a 900 multi-year APR or a 930 average over the most recent two years to be eligible. Fortunately for the Sun Belt, the good news is that 94 percent of current member institutions are already scoring at or above the 930 mark. The most recent APR scores
are multi-year rates based on the scores from the 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11 academic years. Prominent Sun Belt alumni include NFL Hall of Fame football player “Mean” Joe Greene (North Texas) former All-Star baseball player Luis Gonzalez (South Alabama), former All-Star baseball player Mike Lowell (2007 MLB World Series MVP, FIU), former member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives John Breaux (Louisiana-Lafayette), country music superstar Tim McGraw (LouisianaMonroe) and actor Andy Garcia (FIU). The conference’s first 36 years have also produced numerous individual national champions along with Olympic track medalists including Earl Bell, Tom Hill and Al Joyner (Arkansas State), Hollis Conway (Louisiana-Lafayette), and Tayna Lawrence (FIU). Old Dominion’s Anne Donovan, who received the Naismith Trophy recognizing the nation’s top women’s basketball player in 1983, helped the United States win the Olympic gold medal in 1984 and helped the Lady Monarchs capture the national championship in 1985.

2012-13 SUN BELT CONFERENCE MEN’S BASKETBALL About the Sun Belt Beginning on July 1, 2013 the Sun Belt Conference will take on a new configuration as Georgia State, Texas-Arlington and Texas State join the league. The new additions to the Sun Belt Conference add not just stability to the league, but also strength. The Sun Belt Conference will remain a 10-team football league and restore its position as a 12-team basketball league because of the additions. Additionally, the Sun Belt Conference will be able to restore a logical geographical split for divisional play. The additions to the Sun Belt Conference bring a combined student enrollment of nearly 100,000 students (Texas-Arlington - 32,975, Texas State - 32,572 and Georgia State - 31,533). The new additions also bring a combined 5.5 million television households to the Sun Belt. Institutional Profiles of Future Sun Belt Members Georgia State University Atlanta, Ga. 31,533 Enrollment Georgia State is the second largest of the 35 colleges and universities in the University System of Georgia with an enrollment of more than 30,000 students. The university offers 54 degrees in 250 fields of study with more than 1,200 faculty members. Georgia State’s campus now occupies 34 acres of downtown Atlanta with 40 buildings and 7.5 million square feet of downtown owned. Construction is on the drawing boards with numerous new projects. A multi-million dollar Parker H. Petit Science Center with laboratories and classrooms opened in 2010, next to the Sports Arena. Georgia State has graduated 179,000 alumni since the first class was taught in 1913. Currently it is estimated that there are 100,000 alumni living in the metro Atlanta area. Georgia State is in the heart of activity of downtown Atlanta. The Sports Arena and center campus are less than a halfmile from the CNN Center, Centennial Olympic Park, Phillips arena and the Georgia Dome. The campus intersects Peachtree Street, the main street of Atlanta. Georgia State played its inaugural football game on September 2010 at its new home in the nearby Georgia Dome. Football was officially launched on April 17, 2008, with Bill Curry named head coach on June 12, 2008. Dan Reeves had served as the consultant to the university during the feasibility study. A new practice facility was built just blocks from the Sports Arena on MLK Drive. Georgia State student-athletes have maintained a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 for six consecutive semesters. Additionally, GSU’s combined Academic Progress Rate (APR) for all sports is 965.

University of Texas-Arlington Arlington, Texas 32,975 Enrollment The University of Texas at Arlington sets the standard for educational excellence in the thriving Dallas-Fort Worth area. With an enrollment approaching 33,500, it’s the second largest institution in the UT System and the sixth largest in Texas. UTA is classified by the Carnegie Foundation as a high research activity institution. The university offers 80 baccalaureate, 74 master’s, and 31 doctoral degrees. The university encompasses approximately 420 acres and 100 buildings. The campus is situated near the southern edge of the downtown area of Arlington that contains the city government offices as well as the Texas and Pacific Railway line that the city was originally established around. Johnson Creek, a tributary of the Trinity River, runs along the southern portion of the campus. Cooper Street runs through the middle of the campus and provides access to Interstates 20 and 30. The Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, Cowboys Stadium, and the Six Flags Over Texas theme park are all located 2–3 miles to the northeast. In the past few years, several construction and renovation projects have been initiated. New buildings currently under construction include a $150 million engineering research complex, a $78 million special events center, and the $80 million College Park. The special events center and adjacent College Park area are located on the eastern edge of the campus and will serve as a link to downtown Arlington and alleviate a shortage of parking through the addition of 1,800 spaces. With new structures continually rising from the landscape, UT Arlington’s physical campus is undergoing a dramatic transformation. These ambitious projects represent literal signs of growth for a university steadily increasing in national prominence, and they provide visual proof of progress toward becoming a major research university. In the past 10 years, the total square footage in all campus buildings has increased more than 30 percent to 5,227,681. The 234,000-square-foot Engineering Research Building opened in January 2011 and will enhance research partnerships between the College of Engineering and College of Science. The new College Park Center is a $78 million, 218,000-square-foot facility and is a transformational jewel for the campus of nearly 33,000 students and a catalyst for revitalization in the city’s central business district. It provides a new home court for the university’s basketball and volleyball teams, which previously played in Texas Hall, and also gives the city of Arlington a signature facility for high-profile events and entertainment, conferences, and community activities. Of UT Arlington’s 157,000 alumni, approximately 108,000 live in North Texas. Their presence helps the university create an annual economic impact of more than $1 billion in the region.

Texas State’s main campus is in San Marcos, a growing community of 50,000 people about halfway between Austin and San Antonio. Located on the edge of the Texas Hill Country, where black land prairies roll into beautiful hills, Texas State enjoys a setting that is unique among Texas universities. As the university’s student population has grown — from 303 in 1903 to 34,087 in 2011 — the San Marcos campus, too, has expanded. Today it consists of a 457-acre main campus and 5,038 additional acres in recreational, instructional, farm and ranch land. In September 2010, Texas State University initiated a review and update of the 2006-2015 Campus Master Plan (CMP) with the assistance of Broaddus Planning of Austin, Texas. The Capital Project Budget calls for a total of $739,665,178 to be spent on completing the Campus Master Plan.

87 master’s and 12 doctoral degree programs offered by the following colleges: Applied Arts, McCoy College of Business Administration, Education, Fine Arts and Communication, Health Professions, Liberal Arts, Science and Engineering, University College and the Graduate College. Texas State University is the only university in the state to have a former President of the United States as an alumnus. President Lyndon B. Johnson graduated from what was then Southwest Texas State Teachers College in 1930 with a teaching certificate and a Bachelor of Science in history. In 1965, he returned to Southwest Texas State College, as the school was known then, to sign the Higher Education Act of 1965. Of the student body, about 29,000 are undergraduate students with the remaining 5,000 students being post-baccalaureate or graduate students. The university accepted about 75% of applicants who applied to attend the Fall 2010 semester, this includes the guaranteed acceptance of any Texas high school graduate with a grade point average that ranked them in the top 10% of their high school class. Between 61% and 64% of undergraduate students earn their degree after four years. Hispanic students made up 25% of the student body in 2010, which increased to 27% in 2011, qualifying the university to be designated as a Hispanic-serving institution.

2011-12 SUN BELT CONFERENCE MEN’S BASKETBALL NEWS AND NOTES SUN BELT SENDS THREE TO POSTSEASON For the third consecutive season, the Sun Belt sent multiple teams to the postseason with WKU, Middle Tennessee and LouisianaLafayette representing the league in the NCAA Tournament, NIT and CIT, respectively. The Sun Belt has sent multiple teams to the postseason in ten of the past 12 seasons, and two teams have been represented in both the NCAA and NIT nine times since 2001. WKU WINS FIRST FOUR BOUT WKU kicked off the 2012 NCAA Tournament March 13 with a 59-58 win over Mississippi Valley State in the First Four in Dayton, Ohio, in a game in which the Hilltoppers erased a 16-point deficit with just 4:51 left to play with a 22-5 run to close the game. The comeback was the largest with under 5:00 to play in NCAA Tournament history, eclipsing Illinois’ 15-point come-from-behind win over Arizona in the 2005 NCAA Tournament Elite Eight. The win made the Hilltoppers the sixth team with a losing record to win an NCAA
Tournament game and increased WKU’s winning streak to seven, and the Hilltoppers have trailed in the second half in all seven games. BLUE RAIDERS RUN IN THE NIT Middle Tennessee added to its historic 2011-12 season with their first postseason victory since 1989. The 86-78 win over Marshall marked the first postseason victory for MT since 1989 when the Blue Raiders earned a 97-83 win over Florida State in the NCAA tournament. The last time MT won an NIT game was in 1988 against Georgia in the tournament’s second round, a game that also took place in Murfreesboro. Ironically, the team the Blue Raiders defeated in the first round of the 1988 NIT was Tennessee and with the win over UT, MT is now 2-0 against the Vols in the postseason. MT snapped a nine-game skid against the Vols and earned its first win at Tennessee.
RAGIN’ CAJUNS IN THE CIT The Ragin’ Cajuns made their first postseason appearance since the 2002-03 season when they hosted Rice in the first round of the 2012 CollegeInsider.com Tournament. It was the first postseason game at the Cajundome and first on ULL’s campus since a March 1985 meeting with Florida in the NIT at Blackham Coliseum. The game marked the 11th postseason appearance for the Ragin’ Cajuns since the program moved to the Division I level for the 1970-71 season and the program’s first game in the CIT. SBC DUO NAMED LOU HENSON AWARD FINALISTS Middle Tennessee’s LaRon Dendy and North Texas’ Tony Mitchell were named finalists for the 2012 Lou Henson Award, given annually by College Insider to the nation’s top mid-major basketball player. Dendy, the SBC Player of the Year led the Blue Raiders to a 27-7 record and a Sun Belt East Division title. Mitchell was the only freshman in the country to average a double-double on the year.

• Steve Shields enters his 10th season at UALR having led the Trojans to five Sun Belt Conference Division Championships in his first nine years as head coach, as well as a Sun Belt Tournament title and NCAA Tournament appearance in 2011. UALR’s all-time winningest coach with 147 victories, Shields has guided UALR to more division championships than any other Sun Belt program in his nine years at the helm. • The 2004 Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year, Shields led the Trojans to consecutive East Division championships in his first two seasons as head coach (2003-04 and 2004-05). The Trojans captured back-to-back division titles for the second time under Shields in 2007-08 and 2008-09, with both squads reaching 20 wins – something that hadn’t been done at UALR since the 1988-89 and 1989-90 campaigns. Led by First Team All-SBC selection Shane Edwards and Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Year John Fowler, the 2008-09 Trojans went 23-8 with a school-record 15-3 mark in conference play. The 2010-11 Trojans entered the Sun Belt Tournament as the fifth seed out of the West Division, but won four games over higher-ranked teams in as many days to capture the school’s first SBC Tournament title. Sun Belt Player of the Year Solomon Bozeman hit a three pointer with 1.5 seconds remaining to lift the Trojans to a 64-63 victory over North Texas in the championship game and give UALR its first NCAA Tournament bid since 1990. Shields picked up his fifth division championship in 2011-12, as UALR rallied from a 3-11 mark during the non-conference portion of its schedule to go 12-4 in Sun Belt play. UALR returns just two starters from last year’s squad for the 2012-13 season, but will sport a roster featuring four players 6-10 or taller, led by Second Team All-Sun Belt selection Will Neighbour.

Players to Watch Greg Gantt - Sr., G, 6-2 Greg Gantt is already one of the most accomplished players in FAU basketball history. He has led the Owls in scoring in each of the last three seasons. He earned NABC All-District, Third-Team All Sun-Belt and CollegeInsider.com Freshman Mid-Major All-American after finishing 5th in the Sun Belt in scoring at 15.6 points per game during the 2009-10 season. As a sophomore, he was named Second Team All-Sun Belt. During his junior season he became the eighth member of the school’s 1,000 point club and is on pace to become the school’s all-time leading scorer. He is already among the program’s all-time leaders in career three pointers made and three point field goal percentage.
Pablo Bertone - Jr., G, 6-2 Pablo Bertone stands to emerge as a key member of the Owls’ lineup. In his first two years, he has shown the ability to play in both the frontcourt and the backcourt, providing key versatility that allows FAU to play a variety of lineups. Perhaps there was no better example of his diverse skill set than his 17 point, 12 rebound performance against Kansas, good for career highs in both categories. He followed that up with a nine point, 11 rebound against Warner Southern. He scored a career high 20 points in the final home game against Troy.

• Starting his third season as head coach of the Ragin’ Cajuns men’s basketball team, Bob Marlin has put together two solid seasons into the foundation of the program and has set the tone for future development. • In his first two seasons in Lafayette, Marlin has guided the Cajuns to a 30-31 record, including 21 Sun Belt Conference victories, the second-highest total in the league during that period. ULL went 16-16 in 2011-12, the most wins in for the Cajuns since 2002-03, advancing to the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. It marked the first post-season appearance for the Cajuns since 2003 and the first played on campus since 1985. Despite the short-term accomplishments by the Cajuns, Marlin is more focused on the future and building the program the right way which will set ULL up for prolonged success. With just three regulars back from a year ago, Marlin knows that how quickly he incorporates the eight new faces into the lineup will not only help to determine the success ULL will have this season, but in seasons to come. Marlin took over as the 13th head basketball coach in program history on March 29, 2010, inheriting a program that had been a combined 30 games under .500 over the previous six years. He went right to work rebounding from a slow start in 2010-11 by rattling off 11 straight wins to finish the regular season to claim the co-championship of the Sun Belt west division. Cajun fans responded to the success on the court. ULL led the Sun Belt in attendance, averaging 4,700 fans per game. The ULL players have also performed well in the classroom. The Cajun players have recorded a 2.50 team grade point average in three straight semesters, posting three of the top six semesters since ULL started tracking the academic accomplishment of student-athletes in 1982. In 2011-12, six Cajun players were named to the Sun Belt Academic Honor Roll for having a grade point average of 3.0 or higher.

Players to Watch Augustine Rubit - Jr., F, 6-6, 225 Augustine Rubit followed up his Sun Belt Freshman of the Year campaign with a strong sophomore season, leading the conference in rebounding (9.2) and double-doubles (12), while ranking second in scoring (15.2). His rebounding average was 38th in Division I and helped the Jags record a plus-7.6 rebounding margin, sixth-best in the nation. A First Team All-SBC and NABC All-District selection, Rubit became the first USA player to lead the team in scoring, rebounding and field goal percentage since 1996 and started all 29 games. He was the first Jaguar to earn First Team All-Sun Belt distinction since 2008. Rubit already ranks eighth in school history in career rebounds (576) and his 70th point will move him into USA’s top 20 of all-time scorers.
Javier Carter - Sr., F, 6-6, 215 After totaling 60 blocks in his first two seasons, Javier Carter broke out in 2011-12 and swatted 72 shots to lead the conference and rank 16th in the nation with 2.7 per game. The 72 rejections were third-most in school history. He also improved his game in other areas, setting new career highs in scoring and rebounding and recorded his first two career double-doubles in wins at LSU and vs. Western Kentucky. In the WKU victory, Carter fell two blocks shy of a triple-double with eight blocks, one shy of the school record and the most by a USA player since 1994. He had five or more blocks in a game six times and moved into second place on the school’s all-time shot blocking list with 132.

Players to Watch George Fant - So., F, 6-6 George Fant exploded on the scene as a freshman in 2011-12, finishing second on WKU in points per game (10.4), rebounds per game (6.1), blocks and steals. He made 24 starts in his rookie campaign and averaged nearly 27 minutes per contest, and his 321 points scored on the season were seventh-most by a freshman in a season in WKU history. Fant will be looking to build on a tremendous end to the season, where he was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament after averaging 14.8 points and 4.3 rebounds per game in Hot Springs, becoming the first freshman to capture the highest tournament honor since Bo McCalebb of New Orleans in 2004. He scored 36 points in the final two games of the tournament and also added 11 rebounds in an NCAA Tournament win over Mississippi Valley State.
Jamal Crook - Sr., G, 6-3 Jamal Crook had a breakout season offensively for the Hilltoppers in 2011-12, nearly tripling his career scoring average by contributing 8.5 points per contest in 35 games played. Crook put the ball in the basket at a 41.6 percent clip, and he started the final 24 games of the season. Always the true point guard, Crook led WKU in assists in a game 18 times in addition to putting together 10 games of double-digit scoring. Crook played over 30 minutes in key games in the Sun Belt conference Tournament against FIU, UALR and Denver, helping the Hilltoppers advance to the title game against North Texas and ultimately capture the Sun Belt Conference Tournament title to head to the NCAA Tournament.
