The Mayor’s Welcome
Welcome!
As Mayor of New Orleans, it is my pleasure to welcome the Sun Belt Conference
Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships back to our great city. New
Orleans has a long history with Sun Belt Conference events, and we stand
ready to show college basketball fans why we are America’s host city.
The energy in our city is contagious. Over the past 12 months, New Orleans
has played host to an unprecedented string of major events, including the 2013
NCAA Women’s Final Four and Super Bowl XLVII will culminate with this 2014
Sun Belt Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships. We have
the facilities, experience, and an unmatched spirit of hospitality that offers
visitors an authentic experience unlike anywhere else.
While you are here, I hope you will take some time to relax and explore New
Orleans. Dine in our world-class restaurants, enjoy our great music scene,
tour the historic French Quarter and neighborhoods, and shop in our antique
and specialty shops throughout New Orleans. You will see why our city is
known for its history, vibrancy, hospitality and resiliency.
The Road Ends Here, and I wish the best of luck to all teams competing in the
championship. Thank you again for visiting New Orleans. We hope you enjoy
your stay and return often to our wonderful city.
Mitchell J. Landrieu

Welcome Basketball Fans!
On behalf of the Sun Belt Conference and its 10 member universities, I would
like to welcome you to the 2014 Sun Belt Conference Men’s and Women’s
Basketball Championship here in New Orleans – the home of the Sun Belt
Conference.
Each year, the Sun Belt strives to make it our first priority to ensure a positive
fan experience, as well as present a first-class event for each student-athlete,
coach, administrator and fan in attendance.
I encourage you to enjoy the week-long event as well as the many other
amenities the beautiful city of New Orleans has to offer. This one-of-a-kind
city has something to offer to everyone.
This guide was developed with you, the fan, in mind so that you can enjoy every
minute of your stay in the Big Easy. Additionally, we have included information
to make your experience at the Sun Belt Basketball Championships in New
Orleans the best it can be.
Along with the entire league, I would like to personally congratulate each
program and its participants for their hard work throughout the season, both
on and off the court, and for their continued assistance in enabling the Sun
Belt Conference to grow and develop.
The players and coaches are ready to compete, so all we need is for you to
come and enjoy every game. I personally ask you to help us make this Sun Belt
Championship one to remember!
Again, we hope you have a great time at this year’s Basketball Championship,
and we appreciate your support of the Sun Belt Conference.
Karl Benson
Sun Belt Conference Commissioner
ABOUT THE SBC
Formed in 1976 the Sun Belt Conference quickly rose to the greatest heights of
collegiate athletics and the league continues to find itself at the pinnacle of competition
as a member of the 10-league alliance of the Bowl Championship Series and soon-to-be
College Football Playoff.
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 results 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 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.
Over the last five years the Sun Belt Conference ranks sixth out of the 11 FBS
conferences in postseason bowl game winning percentage. In fact, the Sun Belt Conference
ranks ahead of noted “BCS AQ” leagues – the ACC, Pac-12 and the Big Ten.
The Sun Belt Conference maintains tie-ins with the GoDaddy Bowl and the R+L Carriers
New Orleans Bowl and come 2014, the Sun Belt will also send a team to the newly formed
Camellia Bowl. A team from the Sun Belt Conference has played in the R+L Carriers New
Orleans Bowl since its inception in 2001. The SBC has won four consecutive R+L Carriers
New Orleans Bowl games and six out of the last seven. The GoDaddy bowl, meanwhile,
has an agreement in place with the Sun Belt Conference and Mid-American Conference to
provide teams for the game. The Camellia Bowl will match-up the Sun Belt Conference
against the Mid-American Conference (MAC) beginning in December 2014. The game will
be played yearly at the Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Ala., before the Christmas holiday
and be televised nationally on ESPN or ESPN2. The Sun Belt Conference will also be part
of the rotation for the newly created Bahamas Bowl and Miami Beach Bowl.
Sun Belt student-athletes have a history of performing well in the class room as well.
With sights set on raised benchmarks, 96.2% of teams that will make up the 2013-14 Sun
Belt Conference are performing above the future Academic Progress Rate (APR) standard
of 930 as the NCAA released its latest figures in June. Beginning with 2012-13 NCAA
Championships, teams must earn a minimum 900 four-year APR or a 930 average over
the most recent two years to be eligible to participate. For 2014-15 championships, teams
must earn a 930 four-year average APR or a 940 average over the most recent two years
to participate in championships. In 2015-16 and beyond, teams must earn a four-year APR
of 930 to compete in championships. 153 of 159 Sun Belt teams are currently performing
above the 930 benchmark.
Prominent Sun Belt alumni include Lyndon B. Johnson, former President of the United
States (Texas State), former All-Star baseball player Luis Gonzalez (South Alabama),
former member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives John
Breaux (UL Lafayette), country music superstar Tim McGraw (UL Monroe), CEO of Duck
Commander and Buck Commander Willie Robertson (UL Monroe) and DeMarcus Ware, an
All-Pro NFL linebacker (Troy).
The Sun Belt Conference contested the 2013 football season with eight members –
Arkansas State, Georgia State, UL Lafayette, UL Monroe, South Alabama, Texas State,
Troy and Western Kentucky University. UALR and UT Arlington compete as non-football
members. Come the 2014 season, the Sun Belt will have four new members in the league
as Appalachian State and Georgia Southern were added as all-sports members and Idaho
and New Mexico State have been added as football playing members. Both Appalachian
State and Georgia Southern bring with them highly successfully football programs and
each team will begin the process of transitioning to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS)
immediately. The 2014 Sun Belt football season will mark the debut of both in the league
schedule and standings. Additionally, both the Mountaineers and Eagles will be able to
compete for the league championship in football for the 2014 season. Both teams will
first be eligible to compete in a spot for a postseason bowl game come the 2015 season.
Idaho and New Mexico State are familiar partners of the Sun Belt Conference, having been
football members from the league’s inaugural year of football in 2001 through the 2004
season. Both members played an integral part of forming the Sun Belt Conference for
football and now add strength to the league. Both teams will be immediately eligible to
compete for the Sun Belt football championship and also for a spot in postseason bowl
games.

Visit New Orleans
New Orleans is one of the world’s most fascinating cities. Steeped in a history of influences from Europe,
the Caribbean, Africa and beyond, it’s home to a truly unique melting pot of culture, food and music. Few
cities in the world possess a culture or history as vibrant as New Orleans, which was founded by the French
on the banks of the Mississippi River in 1718.
When visiting New Orleans, you can find something magical and unforgettable every day. Whether it’s an
opportunity to sample our exceptional cuisine, to learn about our rich cultural heritage or a music festival
you seek, New Orleans has something for everyone. Our laid back, friendly culture inspires guests to relax,
kick up their heels and live it up.
The city is experiencing millions of dollars in hotel renovations and upgrades, there are more than 1,300
restaurants to choose from with new eateries popping up all the time and a variety of attractions to enjoy as
well. The city balances a love for tradition with the energy of innovation, resulting in an eclectic vibe found
nowhere else.
In New Orleans, you’ll find the roots of jazz and a blossoming culture that has been long described as being
unlike anything else in the United States or the World for that matter. The city is one of the nation’s oldest
and has an atmosphere rich with a mix of French sophistication, Creole, African-American, Caribbean,
Irish, Haitian, German, and Vietnamese, all creating an energy that can be described as something greater
than the sum of its parts.
New Orleans is known for a host of attributes like its famous Creole
food, abundant entertainment options, music of many styles, nearby
swamps and plantations, 18th & 19th century architecture, antiques,
streetcars, museums and much more.
Nicknamed the Big Easy, New Orleans has long had a reputation as
an adult oriented city. However, the city also offers many attractions
for families with children and those interested in culture and the arts.
New Orleans is an incredible, vibrant, bursting at the seams, melting
pot of a city. Whether you’re coming here for the music, the food, to
meet some fascinating new people, to experience Mardi Gras, or to
just party all night long—or all of the above—a visit to New Orleans is
never the same trip twice, but always memorable.
A timeless city with a unique way of life, New Orleans is a celebration.
Steeped in European traditions and Caribbean influences, the Big
Easy calls curious minds to sounds and aromas fueled by three
hundred years of history.
From the moment you arrive New Orleans will beckon your ears,
allure your eyes and enchant your heart. Follow the scent of gumbo
floating out the kitchen window, foster a path that leads to the sounds
of drums and a Blues guitar, create the route that welcomes you to a
historic mansion or a hidden courtyard…
New Orleans is many things to many people – a home for the arts, a
hub of innovation, an agent of inspiration. After the meeting, explore
your own New Orleans. Take the historic streetcar down a line of
shady oak trees on St. Charles Avenue, enhance an art collection in
the Warehouse/Arts District galleries, and feast on authentic culinary
delights that call Louisiana home.
We believe our lagniappe – a little something extra – will stay with you,
calling you back to discover the mystery behind our magical city. New
Orleans is and will always be a picturesque metropolitan, a culturally
rich haven and an authentic experience.
Visit New Orleans
FOOD
You’ll find bowls filled to the rim with gumbo, late nights in
dark jazz clubs, strolls through historic neighborhoods, and
tantalizing festivals throughout the year. Come down and
experience New Orleans, one of America’s most culturally
and historically-rich destinations. NewOrleansOnline.com
can introduce you to all of the Big Easy’s greatest charms.

World Famous Gumbo | Werner Krug
At the heart of the New Orleans restaurant scene is a local
cuisine unlike any other. Its storied history is a complex one
that dates back to the city’s early years in the 1700’s. The
cuisine includes influences from French, Spanish, African,
Italian, and Native American cultures, as well as many
others.
Some people eat to live, but New Orleanians live to eat. As a result, the city offers one of the most incredible
- and incredibly diverse - concentrations of exceptional dining and unforgettable cuisine in the world.
ENTERTAINMENT
Festival Fun
New Orleans is known for it’s festival calendar, filled with celebrations of food, music and the city’s unique
culture. Beginning with Mardi Gras and ending with Christmas New Orleans Style, our calendar year has
a festival for everyone. And in a city that loves to party, many of our festivals and cultural celebrations are
seeing record-breaking attendance levels.
If your plan is to take in a festival while in town you’re sure
to catch it in New Orleans. Every month in the Crescent City
you’ll find events where the fun (and often the music and
art viewing) is free, such as the French Quarter Festival in
April and the Satchmo Summer Fest, usually in August. In
December, the holiday celebrations include mega freebies:
concerts, cooking demonstrations by master chefs, holiday
home tours, neighborhood light displays, a caroling concert
in Jackson Square, and more.

Getting to New Orleans
Getting to New Orleans has never been easier, with
many different options for those wishing to travel to
the 2014 Sun Belt Conference Men’s and Women’s
Basketball Championships. Louis Armstrong New
Orleans International Airport services the New
Orleans Metropolitan areas and is very accessible.
Located in Kenner, La., Armstrong Airport (MSY) is
the gateway to one of the most exciting cities in the
world – New Orleans, legendary for its history, food
and good times.
There are plenty of flights into New Orleans. Airlines
operating out of the Armstrong International Airport
include: AirTran, Air Canada, American Airlines,
Continental, Delta Air Lines, Frontier, JetBlue
Airways, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines, U.S.
Airways.
In addition to Armstrong International Airport, fans
can also fly into Baton Rouge’s Metropolitan Airport
or Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport. Both are
about an hour’s drive into the city.
Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR) is located
just 70 miles west of downtown New Orleans.
American, Delta, United and US Airways operate
frequent jet flights from BTR to hubs in Dallas-Ft.
Worth, Atlanta, Houston, and Charlotte. A pleasant
atmosphere with convenient flight times and
connections to hundreds of destinations worldwide
make BTR the easy way out of town. Gulfport-Biloxi
International Airport (GPT) makes flying easier
with great low fares. Gulfport-Biloxi International
is currently served by five airlines offering nonstop
service to Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas/Ft. Worth,
Houston, and St. Petersburg/Clearwater.
Those looking to get around town without a car
can utilize one of the many taxi services in the city.
There are over 1,200 taxis available on New Orleans’
streets and at major hotels that will take you to your
destination. In addition to the taxis, the city also has
a public transportation service through busses and
street cars.
Getting around New Orleans by streetcar is a great
way to see the city. There are three different lines:
St. Charles, Canal Street, and the Riverfront, each of
which originates downtown but takes you different
parts of the city. Streetcars in New Orleans offer
$1.25 and can be paid with exact change when you
board. Refer to page 25 for streetcar routes.
more information on the streetcar lines or the city
busses, please go to www.norta.com. This website
also has updated information on each streetcar/bus
(page 24) line throughout the city.
Geographically a small town, New Orleans is quite
accessible throughout all parts of the metro areas
via cabs and taxis. A cross-town ride from your
hotel to a jazz club or neighborhood restaurant
is typically under $20, and a safe, fast way to get
from point A to point B if you’re unsure of streetcar
or bus stop locations along the way. A cab ride
typically costs $33.00 from the airport to the Central
Business District (CBD) for one person and $14.00
(per passenger) for three or more passengers.
Pick-up is on the lower level, outside the baggage
claim area.
Limousines are also another way to travel to the
city. Cruise the historic streets of New Orleans
in style and class in your own limousine. Several
carriers around the city are ready to serve your
every VIP need.

JAMBALAYA
New Orleans is famous for a lot of different meals – chief among them is the traditional rice dish
known as Jambalaya. While various ingredients in Jambalaya can vary from chicken, sausage,
seafood, or any mixture of the three, the bold flavor and perfect spice is always present. The
Dictionary of American Food and Drink states that the dish was born late one night when a
traveler arrived at a New Orleans Inn long after dinner had been served. According to the story,
the inn’s cook, a man named Jean, was told to “balayez,” or “throw something together” to feed
the man. The results were delicious and the name later evolved to “Jambalaya.”
