Sun Belt Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year
Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 235: malformed pattern (missing ']'). The Sun Belt Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year is a basketball award given to the most outstanding men's basketball player in the Sun Belt Conference. The award was first given following the conference's first basketball season of 1976–77. Four players—Terry Catledge, Chris Gatling, Chico Fletcher, and R. J. Hunter—have been selected twice, while no player has earned a three-time Player of the Year selection.
Through 2015, Western Kentucky, which left the Sun Belt for Conference USA in 2014, has the most all-time winners with seven. Among schools remaining in the Sun Belt beyond 2014, South Alabama, the only charter member that has continuously been in the conference, has the most winners with six. Six current Sun Belt Conference members have never had a winner, but only two of these schools joined before 2013.
