The Atlantic Sun (ASUN) Men’s Basketball Tournament continues today with the quarterfinal round, as eight teams compete for a chance to move closer to the conference championship and an automatic berth in the NCAA Tournament.
Conference tournaments often produce dramatic moments, and the ASUN bracket is expected to deliver several competitive matchups throughout the day.
Four games are scheduled, with each winner advancing to the semifinals and keeping their March Madness hopes alive.
Quarterfinal Matchups
The ASUN Tournament schedule features the following games:
Central Arkansas vs Bellarmine — 12:00 PM ET
Lipscomb vs Florida Gulf Coast — 2:30 PM ET
Austin Peay vs Stetson — 5:00 PM ET
Queens vs West Georgia — 7:30 PM ET
These games will determine which teams continue their postseason run and which programs see their seasons come to an end.
Central Arkansas vs Bellarmine
The opening game of the quarterfinal round features Central Arkansas taking on Bellarmine.
Both teams will be looking to establish momentum early in the contest. Bellarmine has developed a reputation for disciplined play, while Central Arkansas will aim to generate offense and control the pace of the game.
In tournament basketball, fast starts can often make the difference, making this matchup especially important for both teams.
Lipscomb vs Florida Gulf Coast
The second quarterfinal matchup pairs Lipscomb against Florida Gulf Coast, two teams that have shown the ability to score efficiently.
Florida Gulf Coast has previously enjoyed success in conference tournaments and will attempt to use its postseason experience to its advantage. Lipscomb, meanwhile, will try to maintain offensive consistency and capitalize on scoring opportunities.
Because both teams are capable of putting points on the board quickly, this contest could turn into one of the most entertaining games of the quarterfinal round.
Austin Peay vs Stetson
Later in the afternoon, Austin Peay faces Stetson in another important quarterfinal game.
Austin Peay enters the matchup hoping to make a strong push toward the championship, while Stetson will attempt to disrupt its opponent’s offense and force turnovers.
With a semifinal berth on the line, defensive intensity and rebounding could play a major role in determining the outcome.
Queens vs West Georgia
The final game of the evening features Queens taking on West Georgia.
Queens will rely on offensive depth and strong ball movement to create scoring opportunities. West Georgia, however, will attempt to slow the pace and make the game more physical in order to stay competitive.
Night games in conference tournaments often produce dramatic finishes, and this matchup could be one of the day’s most exciting contests.
