The Sun Belt Women's Basketball Tournament has been played every year since the 1982-83 academic year. The winner of the tournament is guaranteed an automatic berth into the NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Championship.
In 2008, the Sun Belt received an at-large berth, as Middle Tennessee State received an invite to the national tournament. In 2010 it happened again, as UALR also received an at-large big, having entered the conference tourney as a #1 seed, then taking MTSU to double overtime before eventually falling by a mere 2 points.

Famous quotes containing the words sun, belt, women and/or basketball:
“That if a dancer stayed his hungry foot
It seemed the sun and moon were in the fruit:”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Crotchless trouser allows wearer to show private parts in public. Neoprene-coated nylon pack cloth is stain resistant, water repellent and tickles thighs when walking. Tan-olive shade goes with most fetishes. Adjustable straps attach to belt for good fit and easy up-down. Pant is suitable for fast exposures as well as extended engagements. One size fits all.”
—Alfred Gingold, U.S. humorist. Items From Our Catalogue, “Flasher’s Pants,” Avon Books (1982)
“The women made a plan to dig their own graves and they said, “We will stand beside our graves because we are not moving from here. You can shoot and we will lie in our land forever.””
—Sheena Duncan (b. 1932)
“Perhaps basketball and poetry have just a few things in common, but the most important is the possibility of transcendence. The opposite is labor. In writing, every writer knows when he or she is laboring to achieve an effect. You want to get from here to there, but find yourself willing it, forcing it. The equivalent in basketball is aiming your shot, a kind of strained and usually ineffective purposefulness. What you want is to be in some kind of flow, each next moment a discovery.”
—Stephen Dunn (b. 1939)
