Four teams in the postseason equal the Sun Belt's all-time high.

The Chanticleers (15-16, 9-9 Sun Belt) are making their ninth postseason appearance and second one playing in the CBI. Just two seasons ago, Coastal Carolina made a run all the way to the championship series, losing to Wyoming. The Chants finished ninth in the Sun Belt, their highest finish since joining the conference.
 
The Bobcats (24-9, 12-6) are making their second trip to the CIT. In its first appearance, Texas State scored wins over Lamar and Idaho before falling to Saint Peter's.
 
The Warhawks (18-15, 9-9) are making their third CIT appearance (2016, 2018 and 2019), seeking their first win. ULM is 13-2 in games at Fant-Ewing Coliseum this season.
