Men's Basketball

The men's basketball team has a strong history, and although it has struggled in the past few years, new head coach John Pelphrey has brought the team back to its winning ways. In 2006, South Alabama won the Sun Belt Conference Championship in basketball, beating Western Kentucky 95-70 in the championship game. They earned a bid into the 2006 NCAA Tournament doing this (their first since 1998), and were seeded 14th in the Minneapolis bracket. They lost to the 3rd-seeded Florida Gators, 76-50, in their first-round NCAA game. Florida went on to win the 2006 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.
