NEW ORLEANS – The 2023-24 Sun Belt men's and women's basketball seasons will officially tip off with Sun Belt Basketball Media Days on Tuesday, October 17 and Wednesday, October 18 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.Â
The Sun Belt's 14 men's basketball programs will participate on Tuesday (Oct. 17), with the Sun Belt's 14 women's basketball teams set to appear on Wednesday (Oct. 18). The event will be broadcast nationwide on ESPN+.Â
On the men's side, defending SBC Tournament champion Louisiana is being represented by head coach Bob Marlin and junior forward Kobe Julien (Baton Rouge, La./Madison Prep). The Cajuns won 26 games last season, the second-most in program history, were a perfect 14-0 in the CAJUNDOME - the first undefeated season in the facility's history - and advanced to the NCAA Tournament nearly upsetting 4th-seeded Tennessee.
Joining head coach Garry Brodhead from Louisiana Women's Basketball will be senior point guard Destiny Rice (Shreveport, La./North Caddo Magnet). The Cajuns, coming off a fourth consecutive winning season both overall and in conference play, return their leading scorer Lanay Wheaton (12.3 ppg), leading rebounder Tamera Johnson (7.3 rpg) and expect to regain the services of 1,000-point scorer Brandi Williams.
Sun Belt Basketball Media Days commence an exciting season that will culminate with the Sun Belt Conference Basketball Championships at the Pensacola Bay Center in Pensacola, Fla. from March 5-11, 2024.Â
Both the Cajuns men and women officially start the 2023-24 season on Monday, November 6 in a doubleheader at the Cajundome starting at 5:00 p.m.
