CONTINUES

A ST O R IED PAST

NCAA TOURNAMENTS/POSTSEASON PLAY Belmont Basketball has earned postseason tournament invitations five of the past six years, including trips to the NCAA Tournament in 2006, 2007, and 2008. The Bruins played at Austin Peay in the 2004 Postseason NIT. Belmont took on storied UCLA in the 2006 NCAA Tournament at Cox Arena in San Diego, Calif. Dubbed as the ‘Battle of the Bruins,’ Belmont led much of the first half before falling to the eventual National-Runner Up. Belmont faced Big East Champion Georgetown in the 2007 NCAA Tournament at LJVM Coliseum in Winston-Salem, N.C. The Bruins held their own against future NBA first-round picks Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert. Belmont took on three-time National Champion Duke in the 2008 NCAA Tournament at Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. With Alex Renfroe and Andy Wicke rising to the occasion on college basketball’s grandest stage, the Bruins cemented their place in March Madness lore. Though Gerald Henderson’s driving layin allowed the Blue Devils to escape with a 71-70 victory, Belmont received universal praise for its spirited play and sportsmanship. Afterwards, Duke Hall of Fame head coach Mike Krzyzewski commended the Belmont program and called the epic game one of the most pressure-filled of his entire career.

Belmont played in the 2009 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, burying a season-high 17 three-point field goals in winning at Missouri Valley Conference stalwart Evansville.

POSTGAME QUOTES 2008 NCAA TOURNAMENT, BELMONT VS. DUKE I’m not that worried about Duke and I’ll tell you why; I think Belmont would have given most anybody in the country trouble the way they played tonight. Moving without the basketball and playing together; Belmont played the game of basketball very, very well tonight. Bob Knight Winningest D-I College Basketball Coach in NCAA History ESPN College Basketball Analyst Basketball Hall of Famer It tells you everything you need to know about this NCAA firstrounder that after the game, Belmont wasn’t sad or depressed about missing the upset. The Bruins were flat-out angry that they let one slip away. And they should be. Belmont was the tougher team. Belmont took it to Duke, sometimes right down the gut or on slippery backdoors. The Bruins schooled and exposed the Blue Devils’ defense, and they put a searchlight on all the warts and worries that have dogged Duke all season. Put simply, the Devils and all their ACC heft and national titles and mystique and aura and NCAA tradition couldn’t guard the Bruins. Dana O’Neil ESPN.com They were smarter, they were better coached and they were more poised. They acted as if they had been here before, and they had. But it wasn’t his speed that almost beat the Blue Devils. It was backdoor cuts; Belmont beat them with backdoor cuts on consecutive plays in the first half. The play is as old as dust, as old as Neil Diamond. Belmont ran plays that Princeton long ago made famous. If Duke is the Harvard of North Carolina, Belmont is the Princeton of Tennessee. Tom Sorensen Charlotte Observer

CHAMPIONSHIP TRADITION Belmont Basketball has won five conference championships (three tournament, two regular season) since 2006. In 2008, Belmont Basketball became the first school in Atlantic Sun Conference history to win three consecutive conference tournament championships. The Bruins won all three championships away from home. Belmont Basketball won Atlantic Sun Conference Regular Season Championships in 2006 and 2008. During its tradition-rich NAIA era, Belmont Basketball won numerous conference and district championships. Coach Byrd led the Bruins to back-to-back NAIA Final Fours in 1995 and 1996. The 1995 Bruins won 28 straight games and were ranked No. 1 in the nation.

SIGNATURE VICTORIES DECEMBER 30, 2003 Belmont Basketball scored the biggest victory in program history, knocking off perennial Big 12 Conference power and 22nd-ranked Missouri, 71-67, at the Hearnes Center in Columbia, Mo. Steve Drabyn led four Bruins in double figures with 16 points. The Bruins hit 13 three-point field goals and used a 17-3 run early in the second half to seize control. It was the Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first victory over a Top-25 opponent. Missouri would have five members of its roster go on to play in the NBA.

NOVEMBER 9, 2007 Belmont Basketball opened its historic 2007-08 campaign with a convincing 86-75 victory at Big East Conference stalwart Cincinnati. With NBA legend and former Cincinnati All-American Oscar Robertson on hand, the Bruins showcased their outside shooting prowess and unselfish, uptempo play in controlling the Bearcats throughout. Justin Hare scored a game-high 23 points, while eventual All-American Alex Renfroe would score 13 points off the bench in his collegiate debut.

NOVEMBER 19, 2007 A week and a half after its win at Cincinnati, Belmont Basketball recorded another monumental victory over major conference opposition, defeating ultra-talented Alabama of the Southeastern Conference, 85-83, at Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The Bruins shot 53 percent in the first half in racing out to a 50-44 halftime lead. Justin Hareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pullup jumpshot with 2.2 seconds remaining proved to be the game-winner. Belmont became just the second mid-major program to win at Alabama since 1996.

COACHING CONTINUITY Belmont has the longest tenured coaching staff in NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Head Coach Rick Byrd, Associate Head Coach Casey Alexander, Assistant Coach Brian Ayers and Assistant Coach Roger Idstrom have been together 10 years. With 561 career victories, Coach Byrd ranks first among all head coaches in the state of Tennessee and the Atlantic Sun Conference. Byrd is 11th among all active NCAA Division I head coaches in career wins. As part of the 2009-10 Athlon Sports College Basketball Preview Edition, Rick Byrd was chosen as one of the ‘Top 10 Under the Radar Coaches’ in America.

Belmont is an excellent team, and it all starts with Coach Byrd. I think when we scheduled our game people kind of thought we were crazy for wanting to play such a good non-conference team. Jamie Dixon Pittsburgh Head Coach For those in the know, those in the coaching community, this is no surprise. Rick Byrd is an outstanding coach; just go look at the track record. They’ve beaten some name programs in the past, and he puts his players in positions to succeed. Ask anybody in college basketball about Rick Byrd, and they’ll tell you, he’s a known commodity. Steve Lavin Former UCLA Head Coach ESPN College Basketball Analyst Coach Byrd always has his team prepared. We got beat by a really good basketball team, they knew exactly what they wanted to do. Belmont doesn’t have shot takers; Belmont has shot makers. Mark Gottfried Former Alabama Head Coach Athletes in Action

NATIONAL MEDIA EXPOSURE From relative unknown to media darling, Belmont Basketball burst on the scene in 2006 and remained a fixture ever since. Aside from traditional local print, radio and television coverage, the Bruins have been featured prominently in national television and radio segments, as well as profiled in renowned magazines, newspapers and internet sites. Belmont Basketball has had 31 televised games over the past four years, including marquee games against Duke, Georgetown, UCLA, Alabama, Cincinnati, Illinois, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Ohio State and Tennessee. Contests against Kansas and Washington are slated for telecasts this season. The Bruins are mainstays on the Atlantic Sun Conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Game of the Weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; package on Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS).

FACILITIES There may be bigger on-campus facilities, but there is not a better place to play and train in America than Belmont Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Curb Event Center. The $52 million, 90,000 square foot masterpiece is a state-of-the-art facility, capable of hosting everything from Bruin Athletics to an historic Presidential Debate. The CEC is maintained and operated by fully digital, computerized systems and represents the highest quality of production capabilities. The addition of two Daktronics video boards in 2007 has greatly enhanced the gameday experience. The main arena floor expands to three full regulation courts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ideal for practices, individual training sessions, and summer camps. The adjacent Beaman Student Life Center houses the general campus fitness center, racquetball courts, a two-story rockclimbing wall and meeting rooms. It also houses the Belmont Rec Gym, a pristine and intimate practice setting for the Bruins all year long.

The 1600 square foot Belmont Weight Room also gives the Bruins a significant edge. Under the leadership of Josh McMillian, Belmont student-athletes make use of three power stations with customized platforms, customized dumbbells, a wide variety of free weights and machines and top-of-the-line speed, agility and plyometric equipment. The Bruin locker room areas are first-class featuring the same fine amenities located throughout the rest of the facility and in many other popular sports entertainment arenas. All the lockers are spacious and made from the finest cherry. In the front of the locker room is a giant cherry cabinet that holds a big screen television and DVR. The unit is cable ready, giving the team an outstanding facility to breakdown film and scout opponents. Most recently, the lockers have been adorned with brand-new personalized name plates and a decorative border encapsulating many of the great moments in Belmont Basketball history.

ACADEMICS Academic excellence is one of the cornerstones of Belmont University Athletics. More specifically, Belmont Basketball has an unrivaled track record of academic achievement, standing among the elite programs in all of college basketball and the NCAA.

BELMONT ATHLETICS ACADEMIC HIGHLIGHTS

HOMECOURT ADVANTAGE In five short seasons, the Curb Event Center has gained a national reputation as being one of the finest new facilities in college basketball. Since the inaugural 2003-04 season, Belmont is 62-16 (.795) at the CEC – those 62 wins representing the most home court wins in the Atlantic Sun Conference over that span. Moreover, the Bruins are an astounding 48-9 (.842) in league games at the Curb Event Center. With the Bruins’ formula of uncompromising success, high-scoring action, and vigorous, loyal support from ‘The M.O.B.’ – Belmont’s boisterous student section – attendance has increased 37 percent over the past five years. That is the greatest percentage increase in attendance among all Nashville area sports teams – college and professional.

‘BATTLE OF THE BOULEVARD’ Two schools less than three miles apart. Zip code and conference affiliation aside, these proud institutions share glorious basketball histories, much of which is intertwined. Games become memorable events. Simply put, few rivalries in college basketball supply the passion, intensity, and drama of Belmont-Lipscomb. The schools first met December 11, 1953 in venerable McQuiddy Gym, which played home to Lipscomb from 1949 to 2001. Belmont won the inaugural meeting, 72-53, and went on to claim victory in the first six encounters. Stoking the fires, Belmont traveled to Lipscomb five times in one single season, back in 1955-56. The teams’ initial postseason game came in 1958, as the thenRebels defeated Lipscomb 87-84 in the VSAC Tournament. Two years later, Lipscomb returned the favor in the NAIA District 24 Tournament. From 1964 to 1976, Belmont won 17 of 25 contests, including eight in a row from 1967 to 1971. In the 1980’s, the rivalry grew exponentially - as both programs evolved into perennial NAIA powerhouses. With Belmont sporting decorated players like Joe Behling, Scott Corley, Scott Speedy, and Greg Thurman; and Lipscomb countering with Darren Henrie, Philip Hutcheson, Jerry Meyer, and John Pierce, many local basketball fans and historians characterized this as the ‘Golden Age’ of the rivalry. After Belmont won a spirited NAIA playoff game at Lipscomb in 1989, 105-98, the stage was set for an epic rematch.

On February 17, 1990, nearly 16,000 fans packed Vanderbilt’s Memorial Gym for another classic duel. Lipscomb won 124-107, in what remains the largest-attended basketball game in NAIA history. The legendary coaching personalities - Belmont’s Rick Byrd and Lipscomb’s Don Meyer - and the arenas - Belmont’s Striplin Gym and Lipscomb’s McQuiddy Gym - gave games flavor and truly defined the matchup.

The relationship ended for a stretch in 1996, as each program transitioned from NAIA to the NCAA. But in 2004, with each now boasting magnificent new facilities, the rivalry was renewed. As Atlantic Sun Conference foes, Belmont has won eight of the 13 meetings - with five of the games decided in overtime. The ‘Battle of the Boulevard’ has become the league’s marquee game, attracting sellout crowds and regional television audiences. But no single game in the storied 56 year history of the rivalry had as much on the line as the 2006 Atlantic Sun Championship in Johnson City, Tenn. Belmont and Lipscomb - co-champions during the regular season - advanced to the final with a first-ever berth to the NCAA Tournament at stake. Behind the heroic play of Tournament MVP Justin Hare, the Bruins won 74-69 to punch their ticket to the ‘Big Dance.’ One more chapter in a timeless basketball tale.

BELMONT UNIVERSITY In the mid-1800s, Belmont University’s campus was known as Adelicia Acklen’s Belle Monte estate. The antebellum mansion remains today, flanked by university buildings separated in age by more than a century. The first educational institution on the estate was the original Belmont College (1890-1913), offering elementary school through junior college education to young ladies. The school merged with Ward Seminary to become the prestigious Ward-Belmont School for Women (1913-1951) and in 1951, became the coed Belmont College. In 1991, the college became Belmont University, and this year, began the 120th year of higher education on this site. Belmont continually reflects its rich heritage as it excels in academics. For 2010, U.S. News & World Report placed Belmont University for the first time in the top 10 of the best colleges and universities in the South in the magazine’s Master’s category. Perhaps even more notable than the recent No. 7 ranking, Belmont has stood out for two consecutive years as a U.S. News & World Report most cited “School to Watch,” one of the two most cited schools nationwide in this category.

Belmont’s vision is to be a premier teaching university bringing together the best of liberal arts and professional education in a Christian community of learning and service. Belmont strives to empower men and women from diverse backgrounds to engage and transform the world with disciplined intelligence, compassion, courage and faith. Believing that every student is created for a purpose in life, Belmont encourages students to explore their passions and develop their talents to meet the world’s needs. Belmont’s boundaries continue to extend beyond the Nashville campus through its Cool Springs campus south of Nashville and organized programs such as the Washington Center program and music business’ Belmont West in Los Angeles and Belmont East in New York City. Study-abroad programs place students in China, Costa Rica, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, South Africa and Spain. Belmont also serves as a regional site of the East-West Center for the Development of Asian Studies. Vital to the Belmont student experience are service learning, volunteerism and mission projects that invest in surrounding communities. Through the efforts of students and faculty, Belmont has touched lives in Nashville’s charitable organizations, its growing Hispanic community, area tutoring programs, neighboring businesses and mentoring programs, as well as inner-city and overseas mission projects, including trips to the Appalachian Mountains and the Ukraine. Among its student body of 5,400, are students from every state and more than 29 countries. In addition to seven baccalaureate degrees in over 75 areas of study, Belmont offers master’s degrees in Business Administration, Accountancy, English, Education, Sport Administration, Music, Nursing and Occupational Therapy, and doctorates in Pharmacy, Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy. Under the leadership of President Robert Fisher, Belmont celebrates more than a century of an accomplished academic heritage and commitment to educational innovation. Notably, Belmont has earned the Atlantic Sun Academic Champion Trophy seven of the

last eight years - with over two-thirds of its student-athletes with a GPA of 3.0 or higher in 2007-08. Moreover, Belmont has opened several impressive new facilities on campus which have enhanced the learning environment, including the Curb Event Center, the Gordon E. Inman Center and the Troutt Theater. In 2010, Belmont will unveil a new Health Sciences center to house the School of Pharmacy as well as a new residence hall. Still, one of Belmont’s biggest achievements came in 2008 with the hosting of the Town Hall Presidential Debate, the first presidential debate to be held in Tennessee. Recently, on the one-year anniversary of the debate, the university announced that it will open a College of Law with students starting classes in fall 2011. Belmont’s remarkable growth and achievement certainly give credence to its theme, From Here to Anywhere!

Nashville is located in the heart of our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bustling core. Major cities such as St. Louis, Cincinnati, Memphis, Atlanta, and Birmingham can all be reached by car within 3-5 hours. And when going from work to play, Nashville has it all. The city offers a multitude of sporting events, recreational opportunities, restaurants, parks, and shopping malls. The sports landscape in Nashville has changed dramatically over the past decade with the introduction of major professional sports into the area.

The city also serves as home to the Grand Ole Opry, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest running weekly radio show, and the Country Music Hall of Fame. Nashville has long been the mecca of the country music industry and is one of the top recording centers in the world. All of the music industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major recording labels have a presence in Music Row, just north of the Belmont campus. The nightlife in downtown Nashville offers something for everyone. Admist the savory sights and sounds of historic Second Avenue sit some of the most venerable hot spots anywhere. From Wildhorse Saloon and Hard Rock Cafe to Famous Daveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BBQ and The Pancake Pantry, it is not uncommon to bump into stars of stage and screen in Nashville.

Nashville’s cultural environment earned the city its other nickname, the “Athens of the South.” Nashville is well known as a major education center. The area’s 10 accredited four-year and postgraduate institutions, including Belmont, are an integral part of the economic and cultural identity of the area. In addition to its educational institutions, the city offers numerous cultural and artistic venues. It is home to nine performing arts facilities, including the Tennessee Performing Arts Center. TPAC is the home to a wide range of events, including Broadway musicals and performances by the Nashville Ballet, Nashville Opera, and the Nashville Symphony.

The Frist Center, housed in the city’s old main post office, presents a wide assortment of visual arts exhibitions. Nashville boasts 25 museums (including the Tennessee State Museum), numerous historic sites (like The Hermitage - home of President Andrew Jackson, an exact replica of the Parthenon, and the Natchez Trace Parkway), and an upgraded public library system that includes a new $50 million downtown library.

Lastly, Nashville is the cornerstone of the Mid-South economy.

Internationally known companies like Bridgestone/Firestone, Caterpillar Financial, Dell, Dollar General, HCA, Nissan, and Saturn have significant operations in the city. Sporting a mild climate with distinct changes in season - warm summers, colorful autumns, brisk winters, and beautiful springs no two days are alike in Nashville.

Josh Goodwin (’07) holds the Atlantic Sun Conference singlegame three-point field goal record with 11 (at East Tennessee State, 12/1/05). Belmont has twice made 19 three-point field goals in a game (at Valparaiso, 1/10/00, at Troy, 12/2/04). The Bruins made 17 threepoint field goals winning at Evansville in the 2009 CollegeInsider. com Postseason Tournament.

The Bruins made 12 first-half three-pointers en route to a 9467 victory at East Tennessee State for the 2007 Atlantic Sun Conference Championship.

ATHLETIC TRAINING The Belmont Athletic Training staff is primarily responsible for the delivery of quality healthcare to all student athletes participating in intercollegiate athletic programs at Belmont University. This care will be provided by the guidelines of the NATA through prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries and illnesses sustained during any practice or game. The Belmont Athletic Training department is housed in an 1860 square foot space within the Curb Event Center. The facility is fully-equipped with a hyrdoroom, taping area, treatment and rehabilitation area, as well as physicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Belmontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 17 varsity sports are staffed by eight National Athletic Training Association certified athletic trainers through Vanderbilt Sports Medicine.

Our basketball team would not be the same without the effort of Paul. His contribution is always in the background, but he has earned the respect of all coaches and players with his humble, professional and thorough approach to taking care of our players. - Coach Byrd on Head Athletic Trainer Paul Malloy

OVERSEAS TRIPS In August 2007, Belmont Basketball visited England and France as part of a foreign tour. The NCAA permits member institutions to play against international competition once every four years. Moreover, NCAA rules allow teams up to 10 days of practices prior to their departure. “A team trip to London and Paris is the opportunity of a lifetime for our players,” Byrd said prior to departure. “This is an example of athletics really giving young men a terrific educational experience. We hope to improve our basketball team during the trip and in the four games we play, but this tour is much more about experiencing Europe than it is about playing basketball.” While in England, Belmont visited a number of noted tourist attractions, including the Thames, Covent Garden, the House of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Madam Tusauds, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the Globe Theatre. France afforded the opportunity to see countless historic sights as well, including the Seine, Montmartre, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Pantheon, Orsay, and the Champs-Elysees. Much like making the NCAA Tournament, Belmont Basketball captured more memories for a lifetime. Future overseas trips are scheduled.

SERVICE/MISSION TRIPS Service is at the heart of Belmont University’s mission statement, and in keeping with that tradition, earlier this decade the Bruin athletic program initiated an annual sports evangelism mission trip. Following the 2009 spring semester, Belmont Assistant Athletic Director and Senior Woman Administrator Betty Wiseman led a group of Belmont student-athletes and staff to Cape Town, South Africa. Over the two week experience, Belmont Athletics worked in conjunction with School of Religion Study Abroad students and embedded missionaries to exchange basketball, laughter, hope, and personal faith with thousands of locals. BU men’s basketball team members Keaton Belcher, Drew Hanlen and Mick Hedgepeth, as well as former players Stefan Baskin and Andy Wicke, participated in the trip. “Our play, relays, demonstrations and exhibitions provided the connection with students before we sat them down for a time of sharing,” Wiseman reflected. “I still can’t believe we organized anywhere from 400-800 students at a time for play and fun, and then found them attentive, open, and receptive. The personal impact of this experience will be ongoing for all of us.” Former Bruin Josh Goodwin added, “The mission trips were a great experience spiritually and emotionally. We got to use our skills and gifts to share our faith.” Belmont groups have also travelled to Kiev, Ukraine and Porta la Cruz, Venezuela, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in recent years.

‘WHAT’S NEXT’

30 Coach Byrd always stressed the importance of success in the classroom as well as on the basketball court. Trying to balance studying and practices was a difficult task to learn, but it helped me develop the ability to prioritize my schedule to meet all deadlines which has been a very valuable skill in the hectic world of public accounting. Additionally, teamwork and the ability to motivate others toward a common goal are other skills that Coach Byrd instilled in all of us that have helped me translate success on the basketball court into success in my chosen profession. Adam Mark (’04) Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Deloitte & Touche, LLP NCAA Field Goal Percentage Leader, 2002 & 2003

My time at Belmont brings back so many positive memories. While the actual basketball games are fun to think back upon, it is the meaningful friendships made that are most important. These friendships, in addition to the discipline and work ethic that basketball taught, built the foundation to help me succeed in the business world. I am very thankful for my experience at Belmont and all the fond memories. Scott Corley (’90) Senior Vice President, Commercial Lending Regions Financial Corp. Coach Byrd’s First Belmont Recruit

Playing at Belmont was irreplaceable! It is very seldom that you find a basketball program with players that had so many other positive things going for them. It really did show me that the sky was the limit, and I could do anything I set my mind to. Alex Renfroe (’09) Professional Basketball Player Latvia VEF Riga 2009 Associated Press All-American & Atlantic Sun Player of the Year

My time at Belmont is one that I will cherish for a lifetime. Just riding down Wedgewood Avenue puts chills in my body. I miss everything about Belmont. From the time I came to Belmont, it was the team’s goal to be known by people all over the world. I learned so much from Coach Byrd. In my coaching now, I can hear him come out of me at times. I hope the team will continue to get better and bring home championships. Brian Collins (’06) Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach Cumberland University Starting Point Guard on Belmont’s 2006 NCAA Tournament Team

WORD ON THE STREET “Shows how sharp I am...I said Maya Moore of UConn could make Belmont and come to find out that Belmont has signed the Player of the Year from Alabama. Just shows the depth of talent in college basketball and what Belmont is doing...Belmont beat Cincinnati and Alabama, almost beat Duke...Rick Byrd’s a classy guy and he has a gorgeous campus there in Nashville.” -Colin Cowherd ESPN Radio “I always tell people the most fun I ever had covering (an event) was this rivalry between these two schools (Belmont-Lipscomb) in Nashville because it was so intense. There was so much interest in that rivalry in the second year that I covered it that they moved one of the Belmont home games to Vanderbilt and they sold it out - 15,003 people.” -Buster Olney ESPN The Magazine “I learned that Belmont’s Rick Byrd can coach as well as a Jim Boeheim or a Jim Calhoun despite the fact that his team plays in a smaller gym and his paycheck might be a little smaller.” -Mike Waters Syracuse Post-Standard

SEASON OUTLOOK

“After enjoying a great run as one of the nation’s elite NAIA program in the 1990s, Belmont emerges as the top program in the Atlantic Sun in the 2000s - all under Rick Byrd’s watch. Over the past seven years, the Bruins are 96-34 in league games, with NCAA Tournament appearances in 2006, 2007 & 2008.” -Mitch Light Athlon “There is no question Belmont has established itself as a program on the rise thanks to five 20win seasons in a six-year span and three consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament. After years of relying on outside shooting and mismatches to get the most out of an undersized roster, Byrd now has enough quality athletes assembled to attack opponents in different ways.” -Dave Ongie Blue Ribbon

THE NEXT CHAPTER With the graduation of the most accomplished class of the NCAA era, Belmont trades experience for youthful exuberance. egendary golfer Ben Hogan once said, “You never stay the same. You’re either getter better or you’re getting worse.” If Hogan applied that logic to Belmont Basketball, the Bruins would pass with high marks. By any measure - NCAA Tournaments, postseason play, conference championships, 20-win seasons, road conquests, coaching continuity, academic honors - Belmont Basketball is an overwhelmingly successful program that reaches new heights with each passing year. In 2008-09, an experience-laden Belmont squad carried weighty preseason expectations and overcame countless adversity to further cement its place among the mid major elite. The Bruins came tantalizingly close to an historic fourth consecutive automatic bid in the NCAA Tournament, but nevertheless notched the program’s fifth 20+ win season in six years and won a postseason road game in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. Not to mention, point guard Alex Renfroe turned in arguably the finest individual statistical season in program history en route to AP All-America, All-District, Mid-Major AllAmerica and Atlantic Sun Player of the Year honors. “It is always exciting to ‘turn the page’ so to speak, and I know that our staff is looking forward to coaching a young, talented group of basketball players,” Belmont

head coach Rick Byrd said. “I am sure we will make plenty of mistakes like a young team can, but hopefully we will play with great enthusiasm and effort as well.” But with Renfroe and likewise venerable mainstays Shane Dansby, Matthew Dotson, Harris Harris and Andy Wicke lost to graduation, a talented - albeit new-look - Bruin squad readies to carry on the winning tradition. BACKCOURT Jordan Campbell (6-5, 205, rJr.) Jonny Rice (6-0, 165, rSo.) Drew Hanlen (5-11, 185, So.) Adam Barnes (6-2, 175, rFr.) Ian Clark (6-3, 175, Fr.) Kerron Johnson (6-1, 170, Fr.) Year after year, college basketball experts exclaim the same thing come March Madness when asked about a central key to success, “Give me experienced guard play.” Well, the past four seasons, Belmont Basketball has been blessed with some of the most productive guards in program history. From Brian Collins, Josh Goodwin, Justin Hare, Andy Wicke, Shane Dansby and Alex Renfroe, the Bruins have had five 1,000 point scorers and, the latter, an NAIA and NCAA All-American. For perspective, Renfroe, Wicke, Dansby and defensive stopper Henry Harris accounted for over 85 percent of Belmont’s total guard minutes and 52 percent of Belmont’s total offensive

2009-10 SEASON OUTLOOK

Mike Krzyzewski Head Coach, Duke “They’re a scary team that most all people try to stay away from. Coach Byrd does a phenomenal job and his kids play hard every time out. Belmont is a great offensive team and a threat every year. ” -Bruce Pearl Head Coach, Tennessee “Belmont is a very good team. They are experienced, they shoot the ball very well and are very well coached.” -Mike Anderson Head Coach, Missouri

“Every guy they had could shoot it, pass it and dribble and then they beat us on the boards, too. That's who we want to be.” -Marty Simmons Head Coach, Evansville “With forward Jon House joining a handful of reserves and talented newcomers, it should keep Belmont dangerous all season.” -Corey Davis Lindy’s “The Bruins have only two seniors on the roster, so coach Rick Byrd faces an uphill battle to keep his team in contention. (But) Belmont is hoping 610 Rice transfer Scott Saunders can contribute right away.” -Ted Hutton Sporting News

SEASON OUTLOOK

After losing its version of the twin towers - Boomer Herndon and Andrew Preston - after the 2007 season, Belmont has not graduated much size since. Four of the Bruins’ five 2009 graduates were perimeter players, the lone exception being Matthew Dotson. The mild-mannered preacher battled valiantly through planter

“Watching them on tape, they looked really good. Watching them in person, they’re even better. They played with a great verve, and they’re just real difficult to defend. And I thought they played really good defense against us. I’ve coached in 89 of these games (NCAA Tournament) now, I told the guys as far as game pressure goes, this had to rank in the top three or four, and hopefully the people at Belmont take that as a real compliment because they should be complimented.”

WORD ON THE STREET

POSTSEASON CIT 2009

rebounding, assists, field goal percentage and blocked shots, Renfroe’s import cannot be understated. Few got a better vantage point of Renfroe’s brilliance than Drew Hanlen. The sophomore point guard gained invaluable knowledge and seasoning from Renfroe daily in practice and games. A steady handle and defender off the bench last season, Hanlen will be asked to shoulder increased duties in running the Bruin offense. A renowned workout warrior, physically and mentally strong, and an unquestioned gym rat, Hanlen has already shined in off-season workouts. Look for greater output across the board in 2009-10 from Hanlen. Joining the backcourt mix are a pair of highly touted freshmen. Kerron Johnson boasts one of the most eye-popping prep resumes in Belmont history: leader of three-time Alabama State Champion Madison Academy, 2009 Alabama Mr. Basketball and two-time ASWA Alabama 3A Player of the Year for starters. Johnson is an explosive, dynamic point guard capable of setting up teammates and finishing at the rim. Belmont’s up-tempo attack is perfectly suited for Johnson’s skill set. He should vie for playing time right away. Likewise, Ian Clark will be another welcomed infusion of talent and youthful exuberance. Clark, a prep standout at Germantown High School near Memphis, emerged as one of the top players in the state of Tennessee this past season. Long, athletic and equally adept off the bounce and from behind the arc, Clark has a polished all-around game and a scorer’s mentality. His impact will surely be felt. Non-scholarship player, Adam Barnes returns for his second season with the program. Barnes, a mainstay performer at nearby Clarksville High School, redshirted as a freshman. He provides great energy and enthusiasm.

POSTSEASON NIT 2004

output last season. Moreover, the quartet accounted for 67 percent of the team’s total steals and 62 percent of the team’s total assists. With that monumental amount of production walking out of the Curb Event Center doors with diplomas, you wouldn’t blame Rick Byrd if he felt mild trepidation heading into 2009-10. But for every Jason Kidd that moves on, a Devin Harris must emerge. And the Bruins boast several capable candidates eager to take the next step. Expect Jordan Campbell to assume a greater role in 2009-10. The silky smooth swingman from Indianapolis was poised for a breakthrough sophomore campaign a year ago. After leading Belmont in steals, blocked shots and ranking second in rebounding on the team in 2008 en route to Atlantic Sun All-Freshman Team honors, Campbell suffered a seasonending injury Dec. 6 at North Florida. The void left in Campbell’s absence was enormous; forcing the Bruins to tighten their rotation and get creative on offense and defense. Simply put, Campbell may be Belmont’s most complete player, able to score and defend with no discernable dropoff. As he rediscovers his scoring touch and game shape and assumes a greater willingness to demand the basketball in crunch time, Campbell has all the attributes to be an All-Conference player. With Andy Wicke’s graduation, a heaping helping of shooting guard minutes has come available. Wicke and his 1,236 points, 303 three-point field goals, 170 steals and nearly 3,500 career minutes will be difficult to replace. Yet if the end of 2008-09 is any indication, Jonny Rice is ready for his opportunity. Redshirted in 2007-08, Rice was relegated to a limited role last season due to Belmont’s bevy of experienced guards. But with Wicke in foul trouble and Henry Harris unavailable due to injury in the Bruins’ CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament opener at Evansville, a gutsy Rice stole the show. The sharpshooter from Illinois scored a career-high 15 points and played hounding defense in 27 minutes off the bench in leading Belmont to victory. Possessing one of the purest shooting strokes ever to enter the Curb Event Center, Rice has expanded his game in the off-season; ready for greater responsibility as a scorer and playmaker. Speaking of playmaking, Alex Renfroe took the phrase to another level. The self-described “scrawny” guard that nobody wanted evolved into one of the nation’s premier point guards. Renfroe did everything but sell popcorn and keep stats for the Bruins last season. Believed to be the first college basketball player since Tim Duncan in 1997 to lead his team in scoring,

NCAA TOURNAMENT 2006, 2007, 2008

POSTSEASON NIT 2004

FIVE QUESTIONS WITH COACH BYRD Q: What is your overall assessment of where Belmont Basketball is as a program? A: I think all of us involved with Belmont Basketball program are thrilled with where we have come in a decade of NCAA Division I basketball. Five post season appearances and five twenty win seasons in the last six years would have been unthinkable during the early part of this decade. Becoming the first Atlantic Sun school to win three consecutive post season tournaments to advance to the NCAA tournament is certainly an accomplishment that our five seniors of a year ago will always remember proudly. Q: What are your thoughts on the upcoming season? A: It is always exciting to "turn the page" so to speak and I know that our staff is looking forward to coaching a young, talented group of basketball players. I am sure we will make plenty of mistakes like a young team can but hopefully we will play with great enthusiasm and effort as well. Q: Many Bruin fans are excited to catch a glimpse of the incoming recruiting class, plus three promising players who sat out last season. What can we expect?

SEASON OUTLOOK

A: Most coaching staffs are optimistic about their incoming class but we are really excited about the four freshmen, Scott Saunders and redshirt players Brandon Baker and Adam Barnes. It would be very fair to compare this class favorably with the Justin Hare, Andy Wicke, Henry Harris class that accomplished so much. Q: In your mind what will be a few keys to a successful 2009-110 season? A: I think our focus needs to be on effort, execution, improvement and developing a strong, unselfish "team" atmosphere early in the season. We can focus more on our results as we enter the Atlantic Sun schedule and as we get closer to tournament time. Q: And lastly, a few thoughts on the Atlantic Sun Conference landscape - the league seems to be getting stronger each year? A: I do not remember a year when more teams return so many good players, not a perfect season for us to lose five valuable seniors. This should be the strongest our league has been in the past six or seven years.

fasciitis last year, finishing his career with 1,165 points and several game-winning shots. Though Dotson’s leadership and shooting touch will be sorely missed, the Bruins sport arguably their deepest frontcourt in program history. Fifth-year senior Keaton Belcher is well-positioned to claim Dotson’s role as the Bruins’ primary shooting option from the power forward spot. Having played in 100 consecutive games since his debut in 2006, Belcher will embrace a larger leadership role this year. Four years of experience in the Belmont offense and discipline in the strength and conditioning program should reap dividends for Belcher this season. The Kentucky native has delivered several moments of greatness in his first three years, but the coaching staff will demand greater consistency in increased minutes as a senior. If Belcher’s elevated scoring output in the 2009 Atlantic Sun Tournament was any indication, he’s ready for the challenge. Mike Dejworek stands as the elderstatesman down low now and will again provide depth as a trusted contributor. The 6-11 German product has taken enormous strides in his three years on campus and under the tutelage of post coach Brian Ayers. Dejworek’s halfcourt game has improved greatly on both ends of the floor. His rare speed, agility, and length for a big man were never in question. However, Coach Byrd may have to do a double take when he calls Dejworek’s number: No. 12 will be his third jersey number in four years. Versatile Jon House returns for his third season at forward. A starter in all but five games a year ago, House was one of the top field goal percentage shooters in the Atlantic Sun last year. The phrase “glue guy” - a valuable team player who may not be a frontline scorer - has become all the rage in college basketball and House certainly fits the bill. The Maple Leaf does whatever it takes for Belmont to win score, rebound, pass, defend multiple positions. With that hockey mentality, expect House to continue to stick in nose in the action. A great deal of anticipation and excitement surrounds the debut of Scott Saunders. A promising big man armed with solid footwork and faceup ability, Saunders comes to the Bruins after playing his freshman year of 2007-08 for Rice University. Highly coveted by the Bruin coaches out of high school at nearby Battle Ground Academy, the 6-10 Saunders sat out 2008-09 in accordance with NCAA transfer rules. However, Saunders used that time wisely; acclimating himself with the Bruin system,

improving his post game with Coach Ayers and bolstering his strength and fitness. Saunders’ diligence, work ethic and coachability should translate into great things for the Bruins. Another big man poised to take his game to the next level is Mick Hedgepeth. Outside of All-American Renfroe, a strong case could be made that Hedgepeth was the Belmont team MVP in the second half of 2008-09. Self-assured after getting adjusted to the college game, the 6-9 post player, Hedgepeth became a huge factor on both ends of the floor. Clutch plays in the final seconds against East Tennessee State and Mercer in the season’s stretch run also boosted the Alabama native’s confidence. With another off-season in the weight room and the gym, look for Hedgepeth to open more eyes this season. Like Saunders, Brandon Baker is eager to exchange the practice jersey for a game uniform. The Cincinnati native elected to redshirt as a true freshman last year, giving himself the chance to learn Belmont’s offense from a number of positions. A high-energy, high-effort player, Baker can bang in the paint and bang down three-point shots. With Coach Byrd now boasting a deeper bench and able to return to his desired extended rotation of 2007-08, expect the easy-going Baker to compete for minutes at both forward positions right away. As with its backcourt, Belmont stakes claim to two lauded freshmen forwards. Blake Jenkins completed the Bruin incoming class, and was certainly well worth the wait. A long, athletic swingman from perennial power Bearden HS of Knoxville, Jenkins will not be fazed by high-level competition. A force on the glass and in transition, Jenkins can make the Bruins better right away. Moreover, with his pedigree of father Fred and cousin Bernard Childress having starred at Tennessee and Belmont respectively, Jenkins is excited to add to the hoops family tree. Trevor Noack rounds out the Bruin frontcourt. A highly-touted forward from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the 6-7 Noack was a recruiting gem. As a senior, Noack blossomed into one of the top allaround big men in the Lone Star State. With the rebounding effort of Tyler Hansbrough and the scoring touch of Goran Suton, there’s no reason Noack won’t work his way into the Belmont lineup. Non-scholarship player and local product Travis Williams adds frontcourt depth.

Coach Byrd on Keaton Belcher: “Our staff is looking for a big year from Keaton in 09-10. The loss of so many outstanding players leaves a scoring void that Keaton should step in and help us fill this season. He is an outstanding shooter for a player his size and he has continued to improve his all around game each season. Keaton has worked very hard in the offseason and that improved strength and conditioning should pay off this year. Pre-season work has also shown that Keaton is taking his senior leadership role very seriously.”

Coach Byrd on Mike Dejworek: “Mike's shoulder injury is a big setback for he and our basketball team heading into this season. Steady improvement by Mike coupled with holes created by the loss of five seniors gave him a real opportunity to step in and contribute immediately. We will look forward to Mike returning in December to give us a trio of inside players with outstanding size.”

Coach Byrd on Jordan Campbell: “The loss of Jordan early last season proved to be quite a blow to our team as the season played out. Jordan's contributions to our success is not always found in the box score. He gets his hands on passes, loose balls, and long rebounds. He is an exceptional passer and a very capable 3 point shooter. A healthy Jordan Campbell could very well be our best all around basketball player this season.”

Coach Byrd on Jon House: “As the lone returning starter, we look to Jon to provide leadership and help build a very young basketball team quickly. Jon is a young man who really understands how to play the game and makes the most of his ability. He has returned this season after a summer of work on his shooting that will make him more of an outside threat. Much like Jordan Campbell, Jon is the kind of player whose great work does not always show up in the stats, he just seems to make our basketball team a better one when he is on the floor.”

Coach Byrd on Scott Saunders: “Scott gives us an experienced player with size, athleticism, and a great work ethic. We are very fortunate that he chose Belmont after transferring from Rice. He is very active player with good scoring skills inside 15 feet. No one works harder in the weight room and that is paying dividends on the basketball floor. Our staff looks for Scott to make a big difference on our team this season.”

December 13, 2006 Jack Stephens Center - - Little Rock, Ark. Belmont Bruins 30 42 35 22 UALR Trojans

72 57

LITTLE ROCK, ARK. - - Led by outstanding perimeter play, Belmont Basketball defeated Arkansas-Little Rock Wednesday night, 72-57, to give Head Coach Rick Byrd his 500th career victory. The Bruins opened ablaze from three-point range, with junior Justin Hare draining three treys in the first three minutes. The dead-eye long distance shooting was needed in the early going, as behind the interior play of Rashad Jones-Jennings and Lekheythan Malone, UALR built a 12-9 lead. But during a four minute Trojan scoring drought, Belmont strung together three more triples – one from senior Josh Goodwin and two from sophomore Andy Wicke – to build an 18-12 edge. Interestingly, BU’s first two-point field goal came nearly 12 minutes into the game on a pullup jumper from Wicke. A short jumper from Jones-Jennings capped an 8-2 UALR run to nod the score, 20-20, 13 minutes in. But Belmont continued to clamp down defensively with harassing halfcourt man-to-man pressure, and consequently crept free. Five different Bruins scored as Belmont ended the half on a 10-2 spurt to head into the locker room up eight, 3022. Though it didn’t attempt a free throw in the opening 20 minutes, Belmont held UALR to just 32 percent shooting from the floor. Any thoughts of the Bruins starting the second half tight with their coach on the verge of a career milestone were quickly dispelled. A three-pointer from sophomore Matthew Dotson extended the lead to 11, 33-22, with 18:29 to go. Hare followed with a wing trey off a feed from Andrew Preston to push to lead to 12, 36-24. A lay-in from Byron Ray trimmed the margin to eight, 36-28, but Belmont’s post counterpart Boomer Herndon answered with a second-chance basket. The Bruin lead remained in double figures the remainder of the way. Behind continued disciplined defense and a baseline three-pointer from Goodwin, the lead swelled to 16, 46-30, with 13:06 left. Despite the red-hot shooting of UALR’s Stephen Moore, who scored all of his 17 points in the final 13 minutes, Belmont showcased patient halfcourt offense in keeping the host team at bay. Consecutive lay-ups from Hare and Wicke stretched the lead back to 15, 55-40, with 7:37 remaining. The Bruins, who committed just four second half turnovers, went 8-for-13 from the free throw line down the stretch to secure victory. For the game, the Bruins shot 51 percent from the floor (26-for-51) – including 11-for-25 from three-point range while limiting UALR to just 38 percent shooting (21-for-56). Though UALR outrebounded Belmont, 36-31, consider that the Trojans outrebounded Minnesota by 27 in defeating the Big Ten members on December 9. Hare led Belmont with a game-high 20 points on 6-for-7 shooting, while Wicke added a season-high 18 points off the bench. Goodwin chipped in 13 points, while Preston had a career-high six assists.

HEAD COACH RICK BYRD

POSTSEASON CIT 2009

NCAA TOURNAMENT 2006, 2007, 2008

POSTSEASON NIT 2004

One of the most successful and respected coaches in the country, Head Coach Rick Byrd has been a model of consistency in leading Belmont's transition from an NAIA institution to a perennial headliner and championship program in NCAA Division-I.

THE BYRD FILE Born: April 30, 1953 in Knoxville, Tenn. Hometown: Knoxville, Tenn. Education: University of Tennessee, Physical Education B.S., 1976; M.S., 1977 Coaching Experience: Belmont Head Coach, 1986-present

Lincoln Memorial Head Coach, 1983-86 Tennessee Tech Assistant Coach, 1980-83 Maryville College Assistant Coach, 1976-78 Head Coach, 1978-80 Family: Wife: Cheryl; Children: Andrea, Megan, Robert

Byrd, who has roamed the sidelines for more than a quarter century, led the Bruins to a 20-13 record in 2008-09 and a postseason appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT). It marked Belmont’s fourth straight 20+ win campaign and postseason berth; fifth in the last six years. Belmont spent much of the 2008-09 season ranked in the Mid Major Top 25 poll and earned the program’s first NCAA-era postseason victory at Evansville of the Missouri Valley Conference. Only Belmont and reigning National Champion North Carolina have won 20+ games, earned postseason play and received academic distinction from the NCAA (APR Report) each of the past four years. The Bruins also defeated preseason Sun Belt Conference favorite Middle Tennessee State and defending Ohio Valley Conference champion Austin Peay, not to mention losing at the buzzer at nationally-ranked Tennessee. Widely-regarded for his offensive philosophies and halfcourt execution, Byrd continues to rewrite the coaching record books. With 561 career victories, Byrd ranks 11th among all active NCAA Division-I head coaches in wins. Moreover, only six head coaches in the nation have been at their respective institutions longer than Byrd’s 23 years of service at Belmont. Under Byrd’s guidance, the Bruins have won 88 games and nearly 80 percent of their conference games over the past four years. Postseason honors poured in for Byrd’s star player, dynamic point guard Alex Renfroe. The lightning quick floor general became the second Bruin to earn All-America honors from the Associated Press. Renfroe was also named All-District by the NABC and Basketball Times and a Mid-Major All-American by CollegeInsider.com and CollegeHoopsNet.com. Byrd led Belmont to a third consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance in 2007-08. In fact, Belmont is one of just six programs in the country to earn an automatic bid in the NCAA Tournament three consecutive years. Moreover, the Bruins became the first member institution in Atlantic Sun Conference history to win the three straight conference tournament championships. Belmont finished the 2007-08 campaign with a 25-9 record - a singleseason program record for wins and its fourth 20-win season in five years. The remarkable season included marquee non-conference victories over Big East stalwart Cincinnati and SEC power Alabama, which led to national press in USA Today and ESPN among others. The Bruins then elevated their play to another level during the heart of conference action. Belmont went a program-record 14-2 in the league en route to its first-ever outright Atlantic Sun Conference regular season championship. Then with tournament wins over Campbell, ETSU, and Jacksonville, the Bruins carried a staggering 13-game win streak into the ‘Big Dance.’ - the program’s longest winning streak of its NCAA era and the nation’s third-longest entering postseason play.

But all that pales in comparison to the herculean effort the Bruins put forth in their NCAA Tournament first round game against three-time national champion Duke. A prohibitive underdog as a No. 15 seed in the West Region, Belmont stood toe-to-toe with the Blue Devils for 40 minutes. With the support of the overwhelming majority of a jammed-packed Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. and millions watching nationwide, Belmont overcame a 42-35 halftime deficit to claim several leads late in the contest. All that kept Belmont from one of the greatest victories in college basketball history was a coast-to-coast drive from Gerald Henderson with 12 seconds remaining. Three opportunities in the final seconds would narrowly miss, and the Bruins would lose to Duke, 71-70. Effusive praise of Coach Byrd and the Bruins poured in over the days and weeks to come from media and the coaching community alike. With apologies to the Dallas Cowboys, for at least one night in March, Belmont Basketball was ‘America’s Team.’ Predictably, postseason honors were plentiful. Byrd was named Atlantic Sun Conference Coach of the Year, by the league and numerous publications. Moreover, Byrd was selected as one of 10 finalists for the inaugural Skip Prosser Man of the Year Award, an award to be given annually to a Division I head coach who best represents the high standards of the coaching profession: Winning with integrity. Justin Hare was named First Team AllAtlantic Sun and Atlantic Sun AllTournament Team - among countless honors received by the senior. Shane Dansby earned Atlantic Sun Tournament MVP honors as well as Second Team All-Atlantic Sun. Matthew Dotson also was named to the AllTournament Team while Jordan Campbell became the latest Bruin to garner A-Sun AllFreshman honors. Belmont ended 2007-08 ranked 11th in the final Mid Major poll on CollegeInsider.com representing the highest-ever final ranking by an A-Sun team and third time in the last five years so recognized. Belmont’s 78 in the RPI also reflected a program-best. The Bruins led the Atlantic Sun Conference in six statistical categories. Furthermore, Belmont finished one of its most outstanding offensive seasons ranked in the Top-40 nationally in five statistical categories, including ranking fourth in three-point field goals per game. 2006-07 was yet another year cloaked with pressure and high expectations. Nevertheless, behind Byrd's leadership, Belmont answered every call. There were non-conference wins over formidable programs like Rice, Fordham, and Arkansas-Little Rock; the latter of which on December 13, 2006, gave Byrd 500 career victories and placed him as one of just 15 active head coaches in Division I to have reached that milestone. After going 14-4 in conference play, the Bruins stormed past Gardner-Webb, Campbell, and ETSU to earn a second straight Atlantic Sun Championship and successive trip to the NCAA Tournament. Belmont received a 15 seed in the East Regional, where they played Big East Champion and eventual Final Four representative Georgetown. The 2006-07 Belmont Bruins finished with a

In 2008-09, Andy Wicke added to the academic legacy of Belmont Basketball, receiving the program’s eighth Academic All-America honor. Belmont leads the nation in Academic All-Americans for men’s basketball since 2001. Moreover, Wicke was recognized at the 2009 Final Four in Detroit as one of 10 finalists for the prestigious Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award. He also joined Hare in receiving a coveted NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. In addition, Belmont University has received the prestigious Atlantic Sun Conference Academic Trophy seven of the eight six years. Six of the last eight Atlantic Sun Male Student-Athletes of the Year have been Belmont Basketball players, while the program’s three top scorers (Wes Burtner, Justin Hare and Adam Mark) have become Academic All-Americans. Bruin standout Wes Burtner landed CollegeInsider.com's NCAA Student-Athlete of the Year award in 1998.

Belmont ended with a sterling 20-11 record. All told for 2005-06, Belmont ranked fourth nationally in field goal percentage (.493), eighth in scoring offense (80.6 ppg), and 15th in assists (16.7 apg). Furthermore, Belmont has ranked in the top five in the NCAA in three-point shooting six of the last nine years. The University of Tennessee graduate holds an all-time record of 561-316 and is 469-261 at Belmont. Byrd's 469 victories are more than any other coach in Belmont basketball history and they account for roughly half of the school's all-time wins. On December 30, 2003, Belmont knocked off #23 Missouri to give the school its first victory over a top-25 opponent. Consequently, Byrd and his team received major media interest from ESPN radio and Dick Vitale's weekly ESPN.com column. The Bruins kept it rolling, posting an eightgame win streak in Atlantic Sun play en route to a third place finish in the league. Byrd would register 20 wins for the first time since the team's arrival in Division I. On the strength of their top-100 RPI and 21 victories, Belmont received a berth in the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) where they faced local rival Austin Peay. The team finished the season ranked 23rd in CollegeInsider.com's Mid-Major Top-25. "It is hard to imagine Belmont basketball without immediately thinking of Rick Byrd," stated Director of Athletics Mike Strickland. "We could not ask for a better person to lead our team. He has positioned the program to compete at the top of the Atlantic Sun Conference annually." This marked the second straight impressive season for the Bruins.

Byrd led the Bruins to its first dream campaign in 2005-06 - surely one of the most memorable seasons in school history. With a 15-5 mark during Atlantic Sun Conference play, Belmont earned its first regular season championship in team history. But the landmark achievements were merely beginning for Byrd and his team. Victories over Campbell, Stetson, and rival Lipscomb in Johnson City earned Belmont its first Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament title and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. The Bruins received a 15 seed in the Oakland regional, where they played Pac-10 Champion and eventual National Runner-up UCLA.

Yet as an even greater source of pride, Byrd has overseen a program characterized by unparalleled academic achievement. For eight consecutive years, the Bruins have compiled a team G.P.A. of 3.0 or higher. Since joining the Atlantic Sun eight years ago, Belmont paces the league with a whopping 79 players making the Atlantic Sun All-Academic honoree list far and away the league standard. Justin Hare carries the academic banner for the Bruins: Three-time Academic All-District, two-time Academic All-American by CoSida and two-time Division I-AAA Athletic Directors Association Academic Team. Of the 65 NCAA Tournament teams, Belmont ranked third in the most recent NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) report. The APR classified Belmont men's basketball as one of the premier academic programs in the country.

experimented with a divisional setup. Consequently, the Bruins were the number two seed in the postseason tournament. Conference competition has been an area where Byrd has really shined. In his career, the Knoxville, Tenn., native is 301-86 in league play, a remarkable .778 winning percentage. Moreover, Belmont is an eye-opening 108-38 in Atlantic Sun Conference games over the past seven seasons. In 1994-95, he led Belmont to a perfect 18-0 record en route to the Tennessee Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship. He has earned District or Conference Coach of the Year accolades on six separate occasions, most recently receiving the NAIA National Coach of the Year award after leading Belmont to an historical 37-2 record in 1994-95. That season saw Belmont climb to number one in the national polls for the first time and marked the school's second of consecutive appearance in the NAIA Final Four. Byrd led Belmont to three TCAC titles in all. Prior, he directed Lincoln Memorial to a pair of conference championships in a three-year stint from 1983-1986. In 1998-99, Byrd earned the Tennessee Men's College Basketball Coach of the Year honor as selected by the Tennessee Sports Writers Association after Belmont finished 14-13 in its second season as a member of Division I. Among the 14 victories were road wins over NCAA Tournament participants Samford and Winthrop as well as a home win over NIT Semifinalist Butler. Belmont won all four games it played against mid-state rivals Middle Tennessee, Austin Peay and Tennessee State to earn local bragging rights. Byrd's accomplishments are many: he received the Nashville Area Athletic Club's Reese L. Smith Award for achievement and community service in 1995. That same year, Rick was named NAIA National Coach of the Year as well as Tennessee Collegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year. At Lincoln Memorial University, where he posted a three-year record of 69-28, Byrd was chosen as NAIA District 24 Coach of the Year and Tennessee Valley Athletic Conference Coach of the Year twice. In 1989, while at Belmont, he was selected District 24 Coach of the Year and Area V Coach of the Year. Prior to Belmont University's decision to join the NCAA, Byrd had molded its men's basketball program into a veritable NAIA powerhouse. Belmont made five NAIA national tournament appearances under Byrd's direction, including trips to the semifinals in 1995 and 1996 and a spot in the quarterfinals in 1994. They won three Tennessee Collegiate Athletic Conference championships, and finished second in the league another five times. The 1993-94 team also received the Dr. James Naismith Sportsmanship Award. Byrd coached six players who earned a total of 11 NAIA All-America honors, including Joe Behling, a first-team AllAmerican in 1988, 1989 and 1990 and the 1989 NAIA National Player of the Year; Kerry West, a 1995 first-team selection; and DaQuinn Goff, a 1996 first-team choice. Behling was inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame in March 2003 during the NAIA Basketball National Championship. After beginning his coaching career in 1976 with a two-year stint as assistant coach at Maryville College, Byrd became head coach at Maryville. His two-year record of 23-27 is misleading, as Maryville's 15-11 ledger in Byrd's second season was the school's best mark in 31 years. He was hired as assistant coach at Tennessee Tech in 1980 and served three years in Cookeville before becoming head coach at Lincoln Memorial in 1983. Byrd also has served in an administrative capacity at Belmont. He was Director of Athletics from 1986 to 1991 and acting Director of Athletics for a brief period before Mike Strickland was named to the post in the fall of 1996. In 1990, Byrd was instrumental in creating the Vince Gill Celebrity Game, an event that raised money for the Bruins' basketball team and Belmont's School of Music Business. Joining forces with his good friend and golfing partner Gill, Byrd spearheaded an overwhelming success. A graduate of Knoxville's Doyle High School, Byrd was an honors student at the University of Tennessee; earning a bachelor's degree in physical education in 1976 and a master's degree in physical education in 1977. While in Knoxville, he was a student assistant coach under the legendary Ray Mears. Byrd's charm, graciousness, and humility have endeared him to fans and media members alike. He and his wife Cheryl live in Nashville. Byrd is the father of two daughters, Andrea and Megan, and a stepson, Robert Duke. Byrd also votes in the weekly ESPN/USA Today Top 25 coachesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; poll.

CASEY ALEXANDER ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH

Without question, Alexander played a lead role in the development of decorated point guard Alex Renfroe. From one standout collegiate point guard to another, Alexander molded Renfroe’s immense physical gifts into a refined force on both ends of the floor. As a senior, Renfroe led the Bruins in scoring, rebounding, assists, blocked shots and field goal percentage - believed to be the first college basketball player since Tim Duncan in 1997 to lead his team in all five categories. Renfroe was also one of just four players nationally - along with Florida's Nick Calathes, Duquesne's Aaron Jackson and Idaho's Mac Hopson - to average at least 15 points, five rebounds and five assists per game.

Alexander brought the most out of former All-Conference guards Andy Wicke and Justin Hare. Wicke finished his career with 1,236 points and 303 three-point field goals - good for second on the Atlantic Sun Conference’s all-time list. Meanwhile, Hare finished his career with a staggering 1,761 career points - then eighth on the conference’s all-time scoring list. Moreover, both were Academic All-Americans. Alexander has also developed current Bruin guards Drew Hanlen and Jonny Rice as well as grooming incoming freshmen Ian Clark and Kerron Johnson. Coach Alexander's scouting reports and attention to detail greatly contributed to Belmont's near-upset of three-time National Champion Duke in the 2008 NCAA Tournament. In addition to these duties, he also assists in various aspects of the recruiting process and oversees the off-season individual workouts for perimeter players. During his time at Belmont, the Bruins have ranked in the top25 nationally in three-pointers per game 12 times and were the only team in the NCAA from 1998-2002 that finished in the top four in that category each season. Behind Belmont's strong guard play, the Bruins have ranked among the NCAA's leaders in field goal percentage, scoring, and assists. Moreover, in 2006-07, behind improved perimeter defense, Alexander helped Belmont lead the Atlantic Sun and ranked second in the NCAA in three-point field goal percentage defense (.285). Under Coach Alexander's tutelage, Belmont has garnered Atlantic Sun All-Freshman recognition five of the last seven years: Brian Collins (2003), Josh Goodwin (2004), Justin Hare (2005), Andy Wicke (2006), Jordan Campbell (2008). Aside from the aforementioned players, Alexander was instrumental in the development of All-Atlantic Sun player Steve Drabyn, who led the nation in free throw percentage in 2003 (.951). Alexander enjoyed a stellar four-year career (1992-95) at Belmont, establishing himself among the top 10 in several of the school's career statistical categories. As the team's captain, he earned a spot on the All-Tennessee Collegiate Athletic Conference team in 1995 when Belmont posted a 37-2 overall record and an 18-0 TCAC mark. Belmont registered a 119-25 record during Alexander's career. For his contributions both as a player and coach, Alexander was inducted into the Belmont University Athletic Hall of Fame on October 7th, 2005. Alexander was ranked as the No. 5 'Mid Major Assistant Coach' in the nation according to FoxSports.com senior college basketball writer Jeff Goodman and No. 6 ‘ Mid Major Assistant Coach’ by Jason Belzer of CollegeInsider.com. Alexander is a product of Brentwood Academy where he was a three-sport standout, playing in five state championship games, capturing two. His success as a high school and collegiate athlete is part of the reason he is so highly valued by head coach Rick Byrd. Alexander received a bachelor's degree in physical education from Belmont in 1995 and a master's degree in sports management from Austin Peay State University in 1996. He and his wife, the former Sunni Dixon, also a 1995 Belmont graduate, are the parents of three children: Allie (10), Reed (7) and Mason (4). They reside in Franklin, Tennessee.

Coach Byrd on Casey Alexander: “For almost two decades, as either a player or coach, Casey has been an integral part of the success of our basketball program. Without his consistent push for excellence from all of us, coaches or players, our program would have fallen short of where we are today. Casey was a pleasure to coach; he is even better to work with. Loyalty to our program and our university is a hallmark of Casey's daily work. His knowledge of the game and his outstanding ability to teach the fundamentals will make him a top flight head coach someday soon.”

Alexander's work with the team focuses on the perimeter players, especially the point guards. He also takes a lead role in scouting reports, offensive play institution, recruiting, schedule, and game-planning. Much of Belmont’s winning tradition can attributed to Alexander’s drive and high standards - both as a player and coach. It is no wonder why he is universally respected by his peers.

POSTSEASON NIT 2004

Brian Ayers begins his 12th season on the Bruins' coaching staff. Ayers specializes in post-play instruction - offensive moves, footwork, positioning, and team defense. His instruction is one of the main reasons why Belmont is annually among the nation's leaders in field goal percentage shooting and offensive efficiency. Himself a productive post player at Lipscomb University for college basketball’s all-time winningest head coach Don Meyer, Ayers has been instrumental in developing Belmont’s forwards and centers. Three recent Bruin post standouts - Adam Sonn, Boomer Herndon and Andrew Preston - have gone on to enjoy lengthy professional careers overseas. Sonn was named Atlantic Sun Player of the Year in 2003 while all-time great Adam Mark led the NCAA in field goal percentage as a sophomore and a junior. Mark ran his total of A-Sun Player of the Week honors to seven, the second most in conference history en route to back-to-back first team All-Atlantic Sun accolades.

In 2007-08, Ayers helped expand the game of forward Matthew Dotson - who showcased a variety of back to the basket moves in Belmont's near-upset of three-time National Champion Duke in the 2008 NCAA Tournament. His continued work and patience with former all-conference centers Boomer Herndon and Andrew Preston reaped huge dividends as the duo ranked second and third in the Atlantic Sun in field goal percentage respectively in 2006-07. A year earlier, the Bruins led the Atlantic Sun and ranked fourth nationally in field goal percentage (.493). Moreover, Ayers helped Belmont enjoy one of the greatest single-season improvements in rebounding margin in program history - a big reason why the Bruins reached their first NCAA Tournament. Ayers has also aided the development current post players Mike Dejworek, Mick Hedgepeth and Scott Saunders - not to mention Keaton Belcher and incoming freshman Trevor Noack - the latest in a long line of productive post players for Belmont. Besides his work with the Bruins in the paint, he also handles opponent scouting, recruiting, and works in concert with the strength and conditioning staff on the individual workout programs for Belmont student-athletes. Ayers, a native of Clarksville, Tennessee, spent two years on staff at Vanderbilt University. During that time, the Commodores made one trip to the NCAA tournament. Prior to that, he served as an assistant coach at Austin Peay. While with the Governors' program, Austin Peay won the 1996 Ohio Valley Conference Tournament Championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Brian also served as an assistant coach at Nashville's David Lipscomb High School for one season, helping the Mustangs to a 28-6 record and the Class AA semifinals in 1995. Ayers played his college basketball at Lipscomb University. He served as team captain his junior and senior years and earned NAIA Academic All-America honors. During Ayers' four year career, the Bisons compiled a record of 141-18 and advanced to one NAIA Final Four, two Elite Eights, and one Sweet Sixteen. He graduated from Lipscomb in 1993 while earning a master's degree in sports management from Austin Peay State University in 1996. Ayers has two sons: Taylor (10) and Luke (7).

Coach Byrd on Brian Ayers: “Brian’s role in developing our post players into all-conference players has been well-documented. But his organization and attention to detail are invaluable assets for our program on a daily basis. Brian’s ability to teach the game - especially post instruction - is among the best in our profession. Simply put, Belmont University is fortunate to have a person of Coach Ayers’ character and loyalty.”

POSTSEASON NIT 2004

February 6, 2009 Pope Convocation Center - - Buies Creek, N.C. 22 65 87 Belmont Bruins 37 47 84 Campbell Camels BUIES CREEK, N.C. - - Words truly cannot do it justice. Those in attendance will never forget what they witnessed. Simply put, what happened Friday night in the Carolina sandhills will go down as the most remarkable victory in Belmont Basketball history. Trailing by 18 points with 3:27 remaining, the Bruins outscored Campbell 30-9 down the stretch to claim a stirring and emotional 87-84 victory. When Matt Gwynne broke Belmont pressure for a conventional three-point play, Campbell led 75-57 with 3:27 remaining. For what transpired next would defy description: arguably one of the greatest comeback in college basketball history. Though Campbell was already in the double bonus, the Bruins elected to foul and see what happened from the free throw line. Renfroe and Shane Dansby sparked the Bruin comeback, and Campbell missed free throws aided the cause. Despite growing nervousness and anxiety from the partisan Pope Convocation Center crowd, Rodriguez sank two free throws moments later to make the score 80-69 with 1:42 left. Renfroe again orchestrated the Belmont open court attack, driving and finding Dotson open for three to get Belmont within 80-72 with 1:35 remaining. After going 2-for-24 from three-point range for the first 36 minutes of the game, Dansby's ho-hum three-pointer at the 3:39 mark ripped the lid off the Belmont basket. Once again Belmont would press and foul, and Hartley proceeded to miss two free throws with 1:21 left. Renfroe raced to the basket and scored in a flash to get Belmont within 80-74 with 1:14 to go. After one Merthie free throw with 1:11 left, Wicke ripped the nets again from behind the arc to make the score 81-77 with 1:05 remaining. After a timeout and a foul in press defense, Dodson made one of two free throws to give Campbell an 82-77 edge with 55 seconds left. Dansby snatched a huge offensive rebound and was fouled on a putback attempt with 41 seconds left. He made both free throws to get Belmont within 82-79. After another Bruin foul, Hartley sank both free throws to extend Campbell's lead to 84-79 with 40 seconds remaining. But Renfroe continued to be indefensible, weaving through the Camel defense and scoring while being fouled by Rodriguez. Renfroe completed the three-point play to make the score 84-82 with 34 seconds remaining. After a near steal and jump-ball situation in front of the Bruin bench, a loose ball deflected across the court and possession was awarded to Campbell. Hartley then threw a baseball pass down court against Belmont pressure without a Camel player nearby. The ball rolled out-of-bounds untouched and possession went to the Bruins with 28 seconds to go. Belmont then freed Dotson for a baseline three-pointer, which he sank over recovering Campbell defense, to give the Bruins an 85-84 lead with 21 seconds remaining; Belmont's first lead since 2-0. With both teams out of timeouts, Campbell raced the ball into the frontcourt, with Merthie missing a contested layin attempt with 11 seconds left. A mad scramble for the loose ball rebound ensued with Belmont gaining possession on the arrow. The Bruins got the ball to Wicke, who was fouled with nine seconds left. He calmly sank both free throws to give Belmont an 87-84 lead. The Camels had one final chance, but freshman Drew Hanlen defended Amir Celestin well and his off-balance three-pointer at the buzzer missed.

NCAA TOURNAMENT 2006, 2007, 2008

POSTSEASON NIT 2004

he 2008-09 Belmont Basketball season had more intrigue, excitement and unforeseen twists and turns than a Jason Bourne movie. And much like the actor Matt Damon searching for his true identity amidst a slew of challenges and adversity, so to the Belmont Bruins sought to redefine themselves through a season of change. Following a 25-win campaign in 2007-08 that culminated in a near-miss against three-time National Champion Duke in the NCAA Tournament, expectations were high for the Bruins. Especially with five proven and championship-tested seniors returning. But from the start, Belmont was forced to deal with an untimely injury bug. Reigning Atlantic Sun Tournament MVP Shane Dansby battled through injuries to both ankles and mainstay Matthew Dotson labored through season-long plantar fasciitis. A third starter, Jordan Campbell, was lost for the season in early December. Yet injuries are part of any sporting competition, and head coach Rick Byrd would be the last to use those setbacks as an excuse. Rather, he challenged his team to rise above and asked for an on-court leader to emerge. Enter Alex Renfroe. Strengthened by sparkling national performances against Cincinnati, Alabama and Duke the year earlier, the self-described “scrawny” point guard from Hermitage, Tenn. delivered electrifying performances time after time. Behind Renfroe’s lead, the Bruins produced a fifth 20+win season and fifth postseason appearance in six years time. The Bruin program took another meaningful step forward and cemented its place among the mid-major elite.

OPENING ACT

SEASON IN REVIEW

A boisterous crowd - Tennessean Titan star and Samford alumnus Cortland Finnegan among them - of over 3,000 packed the Curb Event Center as the Bruins unveiled their 2008 Atlantic Sun Championship and NCAA Tournament banner prior to tip-off with Samford Nov. 14. And despite earning an 82-73 victory over the Bulldogs in Birmingham the previous November, the Bruins knew that facing Samford's unconventional Princeton offense and amoebastyle defense would be a handful to start the season. But behind strong defense and a career-high five steals from Andy Wicke, Belmont defeated Samford 78-60. After a heartbreaking loss to Austin Peay three days later on two free throws from Drake Reed with under one second remaining, Belmont headed to Pittsburgh to take on the then-fourth ranked Panthers. Jamie Dixon’s squad was tabbed as a Final Four contender at season inception. The bruising, defensive-minded Pitt team was as advertised, but Belmont more than held its own. The Bruins were one of the few teams in 2008-09 to outrebound Pittsburgh, holding a massive 44-34 edge on the glass. Moreover, Belmont grabbed 25 offensive rebounds but could only muster four second chance points. Despite getting as close as four points in the second half, that icy shooting and 33 points from Sam Young resulted in a 74-60 final. GETTING ON TRACK Belmont put its trademark three-point shooting on full display at Tennessee State Dec. 1. Behind blazing marksmanship from Matthew Dotson, the Bruins beat the Tigers convincingly, 91-63. Then after another stomach-turning, last-second loss - this time at Jacksonville - Belmont responded with 15-for-25 three-point shooting in blitzing North Florida. However, the victory came at a steep price, as versatile swingman Jordan Campbell would be lost for the season. Arguably the Bruins’ best showing of the season came Dec. 17 at home against area rival Middle Tennessee State. Belmont outworked and outexecuted the preseason pick to win the Sun Belt Conference. Renfroe’s 25 points and Wicke’s 22 carried Belmont to an impressive 82-69 triumph over the talented Blue Raiders.

That Saturday, Belmont headed east on I-40 to Knoxville to take on Coach Byrd’s alma mater, Tennessee. The nationally-ranked Vols sported a 35-game home court winning streak and were 26-0 in nonconference home games under Bruce Pearl. But right from the start, Belmont took notice that it was not intimidated by Tennessee’s fine record at Thompson-Boling Arena. After a nip and tuck first half, the Bruins used a quick 10-0 run to open the second half to claim a 50-44 lead. Renfroe relentlessly attacked the basket and scored seemingly at will. Tennessee had no answer for the Belmont point guard’s darting drives. A late desperation three-pointer from Bobby Maze put Tennessee on top before the Bruins answered back. Trailing 7977 with time winding down, Renfroe was fouled on a drive with less than two seconds left. But the best player on the court that day had his first throw attempt rim off. Renfroe’s career-high 30 point effort just fell short. The Bruins were an eyelash from a second straight SEC win. BAY AREA, THEN BOUNCE BACK Belmont avenged the earlier loss to Austin Peay with an impressive defensive performance in a 72-62 win in Clarksville Dec. 22. Following Christmas, the team headed to California to take part in Santa Clara’s annual Cable Car Classic. The Bruins had been in the Bay Area just two years prior, defeating Rice and losing in the final seconds to host Saint Mary’s (CA). Belmont played one of its best halves in years in building a 46-28 halftime lead against the host Broncos Dec. 29. The Bruins frustrated West Coast Conference Player of the Year candidate Big John Bryant and were clicking on all cylinders offensively. But following the jersey retirement of former Santa Clara and Los Angeles Laker great Kurt Rambis at halftime, mysteriously the tide quickly turned. A flurry of Bronco threepointers cut into the hard-earned Bruin advantage and though Belmont got solid performances from Dotson and Wicke, too many surrendered offensive rebounds spelled an 83-80 loss. A tough outing against James Madison the next day prompted Coach Byrd to ask the team to do some soul-searching. Greater personal accountability and respect for each possession was required. The team responded with championship form. Commanding wins over Stetson, Florida Gulf Coast and Campbell opened the conference home slate before Lipscomb arrived Jan. 12. Strong play from Wicke and Renfroe enabled the Bruins to push back the Bisons in another classic Boulevard game, 79-74. A fifth straight conference win came Jan. 17, as gutsy performances from Renfroe and Jon House helped the Bruins outlast USC Upstate. MILESTONES AND COMEBACKS Matthew Dotson scored a career-high 27 points and eclipsed the 1,000 point plateau Jan. 24 in Belmont’s victory over Kennesaw State. Earlier in January, Andy Wicke went over 1,000 career points against Campbell, while fellow senior Shane Dansby would also reach that milestone by year’s end. Alex Renfroe’s 24 points and career-high 18 rebounds helped lift Belmont past Mercer while 11-for-18 first half three-point shooting propelled the Bruins over Florida Gulf Coast in Fort Myers. That blistering outside shooting would come in handy Feb. 6 at Campbell, as Belmont would need every last point against the upstart Camels. Campbell, in its first regionally-televised since opening the Pope Convocation Center, hit shots from all angles in building a healthy lead into the second half. In fact, Matt Gwynne’s conventional three-point play with 3:27 remaining gave Campbell a seemingly insurmountable 75-57 lead. But in a total team effort that will go down in the annals of Belmont Basketball history, the Bruins outscored the Camels 30-9 in the final 3:27 to seize an 87-84 win. Dotson buried the game-winning baseline three-pointer with 21 sec-

2008-09 SEASON IN REVIEW

Belmont opened defense of its three consecutive Atlantic Sun Championships Mar. 5 against Mercer. Less than two weeks separated from the high scoring affair in Macon, the Bruins stormed out to a 39-25 lead in the first half. But with foul trouble and unusually cold three-point shooting surfacing in the second half, Mercer inched closer. James Florence put the Bears ahead with a running bank shot with nine seconds left, before Mick Hedgepeth saved the day. The Crossville, Ala. native rebounded an Andy Wicke miss and scored a putback basket with under one second remaining to give the Bruins a thrilling 65-64 victory. It marked Belmont’s tenth consecutive victory in the Atlantic Sun Tournament, a league record. The following night proved to be the rubber match of 2009 between Belmont and East Tennessee State. Not only were the Bucs seeking to put the Valentine’s Day loss to Belmont behind them, but also exorcise demons from conference tournament losses to the Bruins in 2007 and 2008. Belmont led much of the first half, but foul trouble for Renfroe, Dansby and House handcuffed Coach Byrd’s rotation. Hot shooting from Courtney Pigram allowed ETSU to claim a modest lead. The Bruins would not go away and with three minutes left clawed within two points on a Dansby three-pointer. But clutch plays down the stretch from Kevin Tiggs gave ETSU the win and ended the Bruins’ historic four year postseason tournament run. Despite the sting of narrowly missing out on reaching a fourth straight NCAA Tournament, the final chapter on the 2008-09 Bruins had not been written.

Belmont received and accepted an invitation to play in the 2009 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT). In its inaugural season, the CIT brought together 16 distinguished mid major programs in a single-elimination postseason format. For the Bruins, it marked the program’s fifth postseason appearance in six years. The flex bracket saw Belmont draw Evansville in the opening round. The talented and tradition-rich Purple Aces of the Missouri Valley entered with an impressive 15-3 record at home. But these proud Bruins once again rose to the occasion and made their mark in another hostile environment. Behind 29 points from Alex Renfroe, a career-high 15 points from freshman Jonny Rice, and a season-high 17 three-point field goals, Belmont defeated Evansville 92-76. The win was the program’s first NCAA-era postseason victory. Five days later, Belmont trekked to the tidewater of Virginia to take on perennial CAA power Old Dominion. Despite giving up three to four inches per position to the hulking host Monarchs, Belmont led throughout. The Bruins led 58-57 with 3:45 left before the eventual CIT champion Monarchs broke free late. The Bruins finished the season 20-13.

SEASON IN REVIEW

NEW BEGINNING, NEW TOURNAMENT

NCAA TOURNAMENT 2006, 2007, 2008

With three games remaining in the regular season, Belmont was well-positioned for its third regular season conference championship in four years. Feb. 22, the Bruins traveled to Macon, Ga. to take on Mercer. In a game eerily reminiscent of the one played in Nashville Jan. 26, the Bruins and Bears matched each other shot for shot. James Florence’s 21 first half points gave Mercer a 41-36 halftime lead. Belmont hung tough and rode the shooting of Shane Dansby and typical brilliance of Renfroe in the second half. The Bruins took a 7571 lead with just over three minutes remaining, before a sequence of bad breaks and misfortune ensued. Strange bounces, missed shots and Mercer field goal conversions resulted in a painful 89-83 loss. Belmont responded later that week with a complete performance against North Florida. The Bruins shot 61 percent in the first half while limiting the Ospreys to only eight field goals in building a 5322 halftime edge. Four Bruins scored in double figures in the 87-49 victory. Later that same night, Jacksonville would lose at Lipscomb, setting the stage for a one-game, winner-take-all showdown on Senior Day between the Bruins and Dolphins. Belmont defeated Jacksonville 7961 to win the 2008 Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament and the team was hoping for a similar outcome. The game marked the first time in Atlantic Sun Conference history that the co-leaders in the league standings would meet in the final game of the regular season to decide an outright conference champion. A jam-packed Homecoming crowd filled the Curb Event Center, and the game served as an official kickoff to championship week. Following a moving pre-game ceremony honoring all five Belmont seniors - Henry Harris, Andy Wicke, Matthew Dotson, Shane Dansby and Alex Renfroe - Jacksonville raced out to a 17-point first half lead. Renfroe asserted himself late in the opening 20 minutes to get the Bruins within 40-29 at the break. Trailing by as many as 18 early in the second half, Renfroe channeled the virtuoso form he had displayed at Tennessee - and largely throughout the season - to will the Bruins back in the game. Scoring from all angles, Renfroe got Belmont within 54-51 with 5:42 left in regulation. But just as 'Uncle Mo' was swinging into Belmont's favor, two consecutive contested three-pointers by Ben Smith gave Jacksonville a seemingly insurmountable 64-54 lead with 2:25 to go. Yet Belmont simply fought onward. Tevin Galvin missed two free throws with seven seconds left, opening the door for Renfroe to race

coast-to-coast and score before the buzzer sounded and force overtime tied at 71. As expected, Renfroe carried the scoring torch in overtime. Two Jon House free throws gave Belmont an 82-80 lead with 47 seconds left in overtime. Jacksonville then tried to free allconference guard Smith, who passed to the top of the key to center Marcus Allen - 6-for-27 from three-point range on the season entering the day. Allen sank a three-pointer with 35 seconds left to give Jacksonville an 83-82 lead. The Bruins missed on their final two offensive possessions and dropped an agonizing two-point decision, 84-82. Renfroe had a Curb Event Center record 38 points and added 11 rebounds.

onds left and freshman Drew Hanlen stepped up on the final defensive possession for a stop. After going 2-for-24 from three-point range in the first 36 minutes of the game, Belmont made six three pointers down the stretch and did not have an empty possession. USA Today chronicled the huge comeback in a feature article later that week. A week later, the Bruins hosted East Tennessee State in another emotional, stirring contest that went down to the wire. Trailing 64-53 with under eight minutes remaining and with its regular season championship aspirations hanging in the balance, the Bruins once again engineered a spirited comeback. But rather than the usual suspects of Renfroe, Wicke, Dotson and Dansby, this time Belmont got major offensive production from less expected options. Huge plays from Henry Harris, Drew Hanlen and Jon House set the stage for Dotson to bury his second game-winning three-pointer in eight days. However, the outcome was not decided until a final defensive rebound and two clutch free throws from freshman Mick Hedgepeth gave the Bruins a 76-73 win. Two more double-doubles from Alex Renfroe pushed Belmont to double figure victories over USC Upstate and Kennesaw State and put the Bruins back atop the Atlantic Sun Conference standings at 13-4.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - A boisterous crowd Tennessee Titan star and Samford alumnus Cortland Finnegan among them - of over 3,000 packed the Curb Event Center as the Bruins unveiled their 2008 Atlantic Sun Championship and NCAA Tournament banner prior to tip-off...Belmont would get off and running quickly, as Shane Dansby buried a wing three-pointer for the Bruins' first points of the year...Henry Harris ripped the nets from the baseline to push the Bruin lead to 20-8 less than midway through the first half...Two triples in a 20 second span from Matthew Dotson increased the Bruin edge to 15, 33-18, with 1:58 in the half. But Samford would score the final six points of the half to trim the margin to nine, 33-24, at the break. After another Belcher three-pointer and a Dansby conventional three-point play, Andy Wicke had a hand in nine of the next 12 Bruin points as the lead swelled to 57-37 with 12:24 left. The Bruins led by as many as 22 points before head coach Rick Byrd elected to provide extended playing time for his talented crop of newcomers.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - A foul call with 0.2 seconds remaining in regulation provided the final margin as Belmont men's basketball dropped a heartbreaking 86-84 decision to Austin Peay Monday night. In last year's meeting in Nashville, the Governors torched the Curb Event Center nets at an arena record 60 point clip in the opening 20 minutes. And the visitors from Clarksville opened in similar fashion this go round...Belmont shot 52 percent from the floor in the opening stanza (17-for-33) including 7-for 16 from three-point range in building a 12 point lead...Jon House opened the second half with a layin to increase Belmont's lead to 14, 51-37, with 19:51 to go...But the Govs slowly worked themselves back into the game. After a layin from Dejworek got Belmont back within three points, Channels stroked back-to-back deep three-pointers to put the Bruins in a 79-70 hole with 4:53 left...A conventional three-point play from Keaton Belcher and a second-effort tip-in from Renfroe got the Bruins within 82-80 with 1:26 remaining...But following a rare Channels miss, Duran Roberson corralled a key offensive rebound for Austin Peay, returning the ball to Channels, who was later fouled attacking the rim. His two free throws stretched the lead back to four...After a Renfroe turnover, Jordan Campbell stole the ball for Belmont in press defense and was fouled on the offensive glass. He made one of two free throws to get the Bruins within three points. Channels was fouled following Campbell's miss of the back end of free throws, but with 25 seconds left, he missed the front end of an Austin Peay one-and-one. Renfroe proceeded to speed down the court and nearly score while being fouled, but his layin spun out with 18 seconds to go. But the senior then missed both free throws. Yet, Austin Peay lost control of the rebound to give the Bruins new life...A potential game-tying threepointer from Belcher missed everything, but Renfroe skied for an offensive rebound putback and scored while being fouled by Channels with 10 seconds left. The point guard completed the three-point play and crazy comeback effort, tying the score at 84.Following a timeout, Austin Peay raced the ball upcourt with Channels missing a contested pullup jumpshot with three seconds left. As both teams fought over the high bouncing, loose ball rebound, Harris was whistled for fouling Reed with 0.2 seconds remaining. Reed sank both free throws, despite trying to intentionally miss the back end. Belmont's desperation tip attempt in the final 0.2 seconds was denied.

PITTSBURGH, PA. - - It certainly wasn't from a lack of effort. Belmont University men's basketball flirted with another monumental major conference victory, but uncharacteristically cold shooting and the hot-hand of an All-Big East performer spelled a 74-60 setback at fourthranked Pittsburgh Tuesday night...Both Belmont and Pittsburgh played shorthanded, as the Bruins went without all-conference forward Shane Dansby while the host Panthers suited up without All-America candidate DeJuan Blair...Pittsburgh, an impressive 60-1 against nonconference competition at the Petersen Events Center, showed little signs of missing the power post presence of Blair early on. Two quick three-pointers from senior Levance Fields gave Pittsburgh an 8-2 lead three minutes in. But Jordan Campbell replied in kind with two treys of his own to get the Bruins within 10-8. A jump hook from Matthew Dotson and two more darting drives from Renfroe got Belmont within 32-29 with 1:38 in the half...House closed the first half scoring on a backdoor feed from Campbell. The Bruins went to the locker room down six, 37-31. Belmont shot just 12-for-32 from the floor in the opening 20 minutes. Moreover, many of the misses were clean, open putback attempts right at the rim. A bank shot from Keaton Belcher opened the second half scoring and got the Bruins within 37-33 with 19:36 left. Furthermore, Belmont would score on three successive possessions but would be unable to inch closer because of the dead-eye shooting of Young. An open court steal and slam dunk from Young capped a lightning quick 10-0 run and gave Pittsburgh a 51-37 edge with 14:11 left. Dotson responded with a three-pointer, but the Bruins' trademark shooting - whether from the perimeter or on backdoor feeds - was strangely off. Shots rimmed off ... putbacks would whirlpool out. Belmont's offense created clean shot opportunities time and again, but the looks simply would not fall. Two Belcher free throws got the Bruins within 57-46 with 9:00 remaining, before four straight Panther free throws halted the momentum. The final stats would force the Bruin coaching staff into double and triple takes: 9-for-41 second half shooting, 25 total offensive rebounds and only four second chance points. Dotson paced Belmont with a season-high 16 points. Renfroe was extremely active, adding his first career double-double of 12 points and 12 rebounds.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA. - - In one of the most painful losses in recent memory, Belmont Basketball dropped a 65-64 decision at Jacksonville Thursday night in its Atlantic Sun Conference opener... The contest, an Atlantic Sun Conference opener for both sides, was a rematch of the 2008 Atlantic Sun Championship game. The Bruins won, 79-61, to advance to a third consecutive NCAA Tournament. And for the opening 20 minutes, Belmont delivered that same championship form. Trailing 10-9 early on, the Bruins ripped off 20 of the next 23 points to seize a 29-13 lead...Alex Renfroe added a floater and freshman Drew Hanlen buried a wing threepointer as the lead swelled to 39-20 late in the half. Belmont led 41-22 at halftime, shooting 62 percent (16-for26) from the floor. Furthermore, the Bruins made six of their first seven treys, as Dotson paced the Bruins with 13 points. Belmont held Jacksonville to 33 percent shooting in the first half. After living from the charity stripe for nearly seven minutes, the Bruins got their first field goal of the second half on the three-pointer from Andy Wicke to fortify the lead at 52-39. But more uncharacteristic play on both ends kept the Bruins from pulling away...After Wicke picked up his fourth foul with over seven minutes to play, Jacksonville trimmed the margin to five, 59-54, on an offensive rebound putback from Ayron Hardy. The Dolphins lived at the free throw line in the second half, and following a charging foul on Dansby, Marcus Allen sank two free throws to nod the score at 59 with 3:45 to go. Wicke answered with a baseline three-pointer on a second chance opportunity, provided by a Dansby offensive rebound an assist. But after two more Hardy free throws, Allen scored from close range to give the Dolphins their first lead since the opening minutes, 63-62, with 2:29 to go. Dansby made two free throws to put Belmont back on top, 64-63, with 1:29 remaining. The Bruins then proceeded to turn in a solid defensive possession, forcing point guard Ben Smith into an off-balanced shot late in the shot clock. Belmont grabbed Smith's missed shot and called timeout. With about an 18 second differential between the game clock and shot clock, Belmont worked the possession before Wicke found a cutting Jon House. But House's shot attempt at the rim was blocked by Allen. Jacksonville got the loose ball and then called timeout with 13 seconds left. Inbounding in the front court, the Dolphins got the ball to their all-conference player Smith, who drove into the lane and was fouled by Dejworek with 8.6 seconds to go. Smith sank both free throws to give Jacksonville a 65-64. The Bruins sped the ball up court with Wicke, whose running shot attempt from 12 feet was again blocked by Allen.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA. - - Led by the sharpshooting and defensive intensity of captain Andy Wicke, Belmont men's basketball defeated North Florida Saturday afternoon, 89-55...On college football championship Saturday, Wicke would embody Belmont's championship mettle following Thursday's heartbreaking loss at Jacksonville. The senior guard, who eclipsed the 900 career point mark last time out, scored eight of Belmont's first 13 points in getting the Bruins out to a five point lead...After North Florida closed to within 16-14 on a long jumper from Ian Gibson, Belmont went on a 15-4 run to stretch out to a 3318 lead with six minutes left in the half. Shane Dansby and Keaton Belcher combined for 13 of the 15 points. Freshman Drew Hanlen scored Belmont's final five points of the half, including a tough baseline jumper which beat the first half buzzer...Belmont led 43-27 at halftime, buoyed by 67 percent shooting in the opening 20 minutes (14-for-21) - including 8-for-13 from three-point range...The Bruins showed no let up coming out of the locker room. Two quick three-pointers from Matthew Dotson and Wicke, respectively, increased the lead to 4928 with 18:07 to go...Alex Renfroe kept the Bruins in a nice offensive rhythm in the second half, finding open shooters in the halfcourt and in transition. Back-to-back treys from Henry Harris and Wicke yet again, capped a 22-8 run to open the half and gave Belmont a 65-35 edge with 11:16 remaining. Head Coach Rick Byrd was able to play multiple lineup combinations in the final 10 minutes. Hanlen capped his career day with two three-pointers in the final four minutes. Belmont shot 59 percent from the floor (29-for-49) - including a season-best 15-for-25 from three-point range. The Bruins had 22 assists on their 29 baskets.

POSTSEASON CIT 2009

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - Belmont University men's basketball returned to action following the Thanksgiving holiday in fine form, winning at Tennessee State Monday evening, 91-63...The Music City Showdown, as it was dubbed, was nip and tuck early on with four ties in the first four minutes, before Alex Renfroe sank a wing three-pointer to put Belmont ahead, 11-8...TSU took a brief lead, yet seemingly before the scoreboard registered the Tiger edge, Belmont ripped off the most determined and decisive spurt of the young season. Four consecutive three-pointers by Matthew Dotson in a two and a half minute span pushed the Bruins to a 29-22 edge. After Stephen Evans trimmed the margin to 36-30 with two free throws, Belmont scored 14 of the next 16 points to break free. Renfroe had four points and Dotson capped the run with his fifth trey of the first half to give the Bruins an eye-opening 50-32 lead with 43 seconds in the half...The Bruin defense stayed focused and stingy early into the second half has deflections and contested shots ignited fast break opportunities. A three-pointer from Andy Wicke followed by another trey from Keaton Belcher stretched the Belmont advantage to 39, 68-39, with 12:18 to go...In large part to the defensive prowess of senior Henry Harris, Belmont held Tennessee State's talented Gerald Robinson - the nation's sixth leading scorer entering the night - to 10 points on 3-for-12 shooting.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - Belmont University men's basketball showed little rust following a lengthy break for semester exams, defeating Middle Tennessee State Wednesday evening, 82-69...The Bruins had not taken the court since an 89-55 victory North Florida on Dec. 6. Meanwhile the familiar foe - Belmont played Middle Tennessee twice a year ago - was playing its third game in six days...After falling behind 11-7 early, the Bruins orchestrated a 19-4 run to seize control. Andy Wicke and Alex Renfroe contributed to 14 of the 19 points, giving Belmont a 26-15 lead midway through the first half. The Bruins made a concerted effort to take the ball out of the hands of Middle Tennessee State's high-scoring forward Desmond Yates, the Preseason Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year. Constant double-teaming of Yates in the medium post kept the Blue Raiders off balance and forced others to seek offense. Following a Montarrio Haddock putback basket, Belmont scored 13 of the next 18 points, once again in large order to Wicke. His third three-pointer of the first half gave the Bruins a 42-26 lead with 2:55 in the half - prompting Middle Tennessee State head coach Kermit Davis to call his third timeout of the half. Two free throws from Renfroe sent Belmont to the locker room up 13, 44-31...Belmont shot 56 percent from the floor (15-for-27) in the opening 20 minutes - including 7-for-16 from three-point range. Renfroe paced the Bruins with 15 first half points...After squandering double-digit halftime leads to Austin Peay and Jacksonville earlier this season, Belmont was eagerly awaiting the opportunity to extinguish those second half demons...Two more treys from Wicke bumped the lead to 52-38 with 17:33 left. But MTSU stayed aggressive and on the attack. After a layin from Matthew Dotson provided the Bruins a 59-44 edge, the Blue Raiders scored eight unanswered points behind the play of Kevin Kanaskie.With its lead trimmed to 5952 with 12:56 to go, Belmont received a huge lift from Keaton Belcher, whose wing three-pointer out of a timeout stretched the margin back to ten. Renfroe's ability to score in the lane or set up teammates truly preserved the Bruin lead. Moreover, solid team defense limited Middle Tennessee State to just two field goals over the final 6:08 of the contest; inhibiting the Blue Raiders from making one last push.

KNOXVILLE, TENN. - - In a game laden with juicy subplots and mesmerizing action, Belmont University men's basketball once again gave a national power everything it wanted and more. But despite a career-high 30 points from senior Alex Renfroe, the Bruins dropped a gut-wrenching 79-77 decision at 16th-ranked Tennessee. Tennessee led 44-40 at the break...The Bruins came out of the locker room poised and purposeful. Behind its resourceful matchup zone defense and the scoring of Renfroe and Dotson, Belmont opened the second half with a 10-0 run to claim a 50-44 edge with 17:25 left. A tough Smith jumper and a steal and breakaway slam dunk from Scotty Hopson tied the game at 58 and enlivened the home crowd. Two free throws from an ever-aggressive Renfroe inched the margin back to four, 65-61, with 7:42 to go. But Tennessee answered with a key 7-0 burst, capped by a second chance, loose ball rebound threepointer by Cameron Tatum. But a textbook halfcourt play to Dansby for a layin and three Bruin free throws got Belmont back within one, 75-74, with 2:11 remaining. On arguably the possession of the game, Tennessee missed two shot attempts before Bobby Maze buried a deep three-pointer on the third try to extend the margin back to four, 78-74, with 1:45 left. The killer possession would have buried most teams, but Belmont hung together. Renfroe once again sliced through the heart of the entire Vol defense before finishing at the rim to cut the margin in half. After Tyler Smith missed the front end of a one-and-one, Dansby rimmed out an open wing trey which would have given Belmont the lead with 36 seconds left. Belmont proceeded to foul Maze, who missed both end of the bonus free throws. Belmont understandably got the ball to Renfroe, who drew a foul while attack the basket once more with eight seconds left. But after making 11 of his first 13 free throws, Renfroe missed the front end of his two shot foul. The point guard made the back end to get Belmont within 78-77. The Bruins quickly fouled Maze on the inbounds pass. Maze missed his first free throw attempt, before making the second with seven seconds to go to inch the score back to 79-77. After the made free throw, Belmont inbounded to Andy Wicke against full court pressure. Wicke dribbled across mid court before passing to an open Renfroe. He drove inside the three-point line and was fouled by Tatum on a leaner in the lane with under two seconds to go. With a chance to tie and force overtime, Renfroe rimmed out the first of his two shot foul. After consultation with the Bruin bench, Renfroe intentionally missed the second free throw to give the Bruins a final shot attempt. Henry Harris got a hand on the offensive rebound and deflected to the near corner. Wicke got to the loose ball but his desperation shot attempt was off target - and after the horn.

CLARKSVILLE, TENN. - - In times past, 28 missed three-pointers and 15 missed free throws would have been the recipe of a painful Bruin loss. But riding solid halfcourt defense and tough-mindedness, Belmont University men's basketball grinded out a 72-62 victory at Austin Peay Monday...After shouldering a difficult 79-77 loss at nationally-ranked Tennessee Saturday afternoon, the Bruins looked to get back on track against the always challenging Governors. On this bone-chilling night outside the Dunn Center, the frigid temperatures seemingly permeated inside the hands of Belmont's perimeter shooters. Trailing 8-5 early, Belmont ripped off a 16-4 run behind eight points from Matthew Dotson to claim a 21-12 lead with 10:53 left in the half. But the well went dry very dry - for Belmont and Austin Peay cut into the lead. A baseline three-pointer from Tyrone Caldwell tied the score at 26 with six minutes remaining in the half. The Bruins scored periodically from the charity stripe to stem the tide, but trademark, clean three-point looks rimmed off. Aside from Dotson, Belmont went a headscratching 0-for-17 from three-point range in the opening 20 minutes. A transition layin from Keaton Belcher gave Belmont a 30-27 lead with 3:16 in the half, but an Ernest Fields free throw provided the game's seventh tie and sent the two teams to the locker room all square at 32. Much like Belmont's 10-0 run to open the second half at Tennessee, the Bruins answered an Ernest Fields jumper with a 13-0 spurt to seize control. Two quick three-pointer from Andy Wicke and a slicing drive from Alex Renfroe highlighted the run. After Austin Peay inched within six on two Drake Reed free throws, Belmont extended the margin to 53-41 with 11:08 left with four free throws from Renfroe and two from Mick Hedgepeth...Just as Belmont seemed on the verge of breaking free, Austin Peay embarked on a brief flurry. Rapid fire treys from Wes Channels and Kyle Duncan and some shaky Belmont ball handling saw the host Govs score 12 consecutive points in under four minutes to tie the score at 53 with 7:17 left. Yet with the crowd engaged, the seesaw affair swung back in Belmont's favor. An inbounds play layin for Wicke and five more Renfroe free throws capped a 9-0 Bruin run over the next three-plus minutes to provide Belmont a 62-53 lead with 3:43 to go. The Bruins mixed halfcourt man-to-man and zone defenses to keep the Austin Peay offense off balance. The Govs got as close as 62-57 with 2:47 remaining on a Fields putback basket, but a reply basket from Jon House on a timely feed from Wicke upped the lead back to seven. The Bruins went 6for-8 from the free throw line in the final two minutes to secure the win.

2008-09 GAME SUMMARIES

SANTA CLARA, CALIF. - - Perhaps Belmont University men's basketball would be better served trailing at halftime. For the second straight evening, the Bruins endured a rough second half in falling to James Madison, 81-64, in the consolation game of the 42nd annual Cable Car Classic...After a tough offensive rebound basket from freshman Mick Hedgepeth tied the score at 16, James Madison ripped off eight unanswered points over the next three minutes. Searching for a spark, Belmont head coach Rick Byrd went deep into his bench. Jonny Rice provided a nice lift with pesky defense and a three-pointer to initiate a Belmont run. A trey from Keaton Belcher soon followed to tie things at 26 with 4:51 in the half. Senior Andy Wicke continued the solid close to the half with two more three-pointers as Belmont built a 36-30 lead. A Pierre Curtis tip-in sent Belmont to the locker room up four. Despite shooting just 7-for-21 from three-point distance and committing 11 turnovers, the Bruins had worked themselves into a modest halftime lead. Belmont also forced 14 Dukes' miscues. But as has been the case throughout the non-conference season, the Bruins again were unable to stretch the lead. After a free throw from Jon House gave Belmont a 41-37 lead with 18:11 to go, a deep three-pointer from Kyle Swanston and a long jumpshot from Juwann James put James Madison on top, 43-41. Belmont quickly tied at 43 on a short hook shot from Mike Dejworek, before the Dukes embarked on a 90 spurt - again capped by a Swanston wing trey. The Bruins labored through a five minute field goal drought before a Wicke baseline trey made the score 57-48 with 9:23 left. Rick Byrd turned to a myriad of lineups in the second half, looking for a unit which could link together scores with defensives stops. But it simply was not to be. A Dotson three-pointer inched Belmont within eight, 6456, with 5:54 remaining, but the Bruins proceeded to miss their next seven shots while the Dukes broke pressure defense for scores and paraded to the charity stripe. Sometimes stats don't lie: in the second half, James Madison shot 61 percent from the floor and committed just four turnovers. Meanwhile, Belmont shot 24 percent including 3-for-18 from three-point range - after halftime. For the game, the Bruins shot under 32 percent (21-for-66) and were only 10-for-39 from long distance.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - For Belmont Basketball, 2009 ushered in revitalized defense, spirited rebounding and a complete performance in defeating Stetson Saturday afternoon, 82-57...The Bruins returned home following two agonizing defeats in the Cable Car Classic hosted by Santa Clara. Turning back to his tradition of basing starting lineups on matchups and superior play in practice, Belmont head coach Rick Byrd started senior Henry Harris and junior Mike Dejworek. While Belmont came out purposeful and focused, the offense was out of sorts with four turnovers before the first media timeout. Trailing 7-6, the Bruins ripped off eight straight points behind a deep three-pointer from Keaton Belcher. After a baseline jumpshot from Garfield Blair inched the Hatters to within three, 20-17, midway through the first half, Belmont seized control with a 14-0 run over the next four-plus minutes. Sparked into transition by solid halfcourt defense, Alex Renfroe - who proved to be instant offense off the bench - had a hand in 11 of the 14 points during the spurt. In fact, Renfroe scored Belmont's final seven points of the half - including a second effort layin before the first half horn - to give the Bruins a 48-26 halftime lead. After enduring some rough shooting nights of late, Belmont shot 63 percent from the floor (19-for-30) in the opening 20 minutes, while limiting the Hatters to just 33 percent shooting. Moreover, the Bruins outrebounded Stetson 20-11. Matthew Dotson squashed any hopes of a Stetson rally by scoring 11 points in the first four minutes of the second half. The Bruin lead grew to as many as 35, 66-31, with 14:02 left on a layin from Jon House. Shane Dansby - who helped force Blair out of scoring positions also found his outside shooting touch in the second half. Ten Bruins played double figure minutes, including freshman Jonny Rice who scored a career-high five points. For the game, Belmont shot 55 percent from the field (30-for55) - including 10-for-25 from three-point territory. The Bruins had 20 assists of their 30 baskets.

89 2008-09 GAME SUMMARIES

SANTA CLARA, CALIF. - - In an inexplicable turnabout, Belmont University men's basketball dropped an 83-80 decision at Santa Clara in the opening game of the 42nd annual Cable Car Classic. A wing three-pointer from Andy Wicke inched the Bruin lead to seven, 23-16, midway through the first half. Mixing active defenses and showcasing crisp ball movement on offense, Belmont closed the half strong. After four quick points from Alex Renfroe, Matthew Dotson closed from close range to send the Bruins to the locker room up 18, 46-28. Aided by Bruin turnovers, three Santa Clara three-pointers in the first 1:46 of the second half cut the Belmont lead from 18 to nine, forcing a timeout from head coach Rick Byrd. But the surreal Bronco run persisted; seven more Foster points - including five in a six second span - tied the game at 46 with 15:02 to go. Belmont's 18 point lead was extinguished in less than five minutes. Yet the Bruins dusted themselves off and settled in. The lead seesawed back and forth for several minutes before a technical foul on Santa Clara head coach Kerry Keating sent Belmont to the free throw line for a 63-60 lead. But yet another Foster jumper and a deep three-pointer from Perry Petty put Santa Clara back ahead 65-63. Two free throws from Renfroe gave Belmont a 69-68 advantage with 5:08 left, but it would prove to be the Bruins' last lead. From there, loose balls and offensive rebounds went the way of the Broncos. After Dotson sank a three-pointer to get Belmont within 77-76, Rahon answered for Santa Clara from the baseline late in the shot clock to stretch the Bronco lead back to four. Wicke had Belcher open on an inbounds pass, but the pass was deflected and stolen by Santa Clara. Another offensive rebound from Marc Trasolini preserved a Santa Clara possession before Renfroe broke free in transition and was fouled. His free throws got Belmont within 80-78 with 1:12 to go. But in need of another defensive stop, Henry Harris was called for a reach-in foul on Rahon 40 feet from the basket late in the shot clock. Rahon proceeded to make one of two free throws to make it 81-78 with 46 seconds left. Belmont worked the possession to Dotson, whose potential gametying three-pointer rimmed off. Wicke claimed the long rebound and fired from long distance, but his shot was just off the mark. Trasolini was fouled on the rebound, and made one of two free throws with 17 seconds left to make the score 82-78. Renfroe sped downcourt and scored a darting layin with 13 seconds left to get Belmont within two points once more. Following a timeout, Belmont fouled Rahon, but allowed six seconds to run off the clock. Rahon made the first of two free throws, but missed the second to give the Bruins' final chance. After Byrd drew up a game-tying three-point shot, Petty was called for a reach-in foul on Renfroe with three seconds to go before Belmont could attempt a shot. Renfroe, having made all eight free throw attempts to that point, had his first attempt touch every part of the rim, sit tantalizingly on the front rim for a second, and then fall off. The point guard then missed the second free throw intentionally, with Belcher tipping the miss out front. Wicke got off a desperation 25 footer before the buzzer, but the shot fell short and left.

A deep three-pointer from Alex Renfroe 21 seconds into the game got Belmont off and running. But much like its start against Stetson two days earlier, Belmont was impatient, loose with the basketball and unable to find consistent offense. However, three free throws from Andy Wicke inched the Bruin lead to 10-4 six minutes in. After holding the visiting Eagles in check to open, a quick burst sparked by Reggie Chambers gave Florida Gulf Coast a brief 14-13 advantage. A physical, meat-grinder of a first half ensued, as both teams battled to complete passes and find open shots. Leading just 23-21 with under five minutes in the half, the Bruins got several nice hustle plays off the bench. Freshman walk-on David Stanley grabbed an offensive rebound and fellow freshman Jonny Rice chipped in five key points. With Renfroe orchestrating things once again, Belmont finished the half on a tidy 164 to take a 39-25 lead to the locker room...Belmont shot 44 percent from the floor (11-for-25) in the first half - including six three-pointers - and held Florida Gulf Coast to just 28 percent shooting (8-for-29)...Matthew Dotson buried a deep three-pointer in front of the Bruin bench to up the lead to 16, 44-28, with 18:34 to go. But eight unanswered Eagle points - again led by the confident Chambers - sliced the lead in half. But a straight on Renfroe trey and Dotson's fifth triple of the evening bumped the margin back to 14, 50-36, with 16:24 left. Loose balls and rebounds were fiercely battled for, with each squad taking in some bruises and leg burns. Following a Reed Baker baseline jumper, Belmont went on an 8-0 run - capped by two free throws from Mick Hedgepeth - to claim its largest lead of 19, 60-41, with 13:16 remaining. Solid production from Chambers and Delvin Franklin kept Florida Gulf Coast hanging around, but the Eagles would never get within single figures.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - In one of its finest performances of the season, Belmont University men's basketball defeated Campbell Saturday night, 87-54...The visiting Camels entered the evening riding a three-game conference winning streak. Though Campbell never led - there would be five ties in the first 10 minutes of play. But after a wing three-pointer from Matt Gwynne squared the score at 18, the Bruins ripped off 11 unanswered points over the next two and a half minutes. Treys from seniors Shane Dansby, Alex Renfroe and Andy Wicke keyed the run. The Bruins would ratchet up the defensive pressure as well, holding the Camels to just two field goals over the final 9:27 of the first half. Two more Belcher free throws sent Belmont to the locker room up 16, 38-22. The Bruins shot 56 percent from the floor (15-for-27) in the opening 20 minutes - including 5-for-10 from three-point territory. Meanwhile, Campbell shot just 30 percent on 9for-30. But Belmont was just getting warm. After a Rodriguez steal and layin trimmed the margin to 38-26 early in the second half - prompting a timeout from head coach Rick Byrd - Belmont embarked on its biggest spurt of the year. Offense and defense both came together and, despite Campbell's best efforts, the Bruins were simply in the zone. Over a six minutes span, Belmont made five straight three-pointers and held the Camels without a field goal. Renfroe was at the heart of the major run, snaring defensive rebounds, racing into the frontcourt and passing to open teammates or scoring himself. When the dust settled after a layin from freshman Mick Hedgepeth, Belmont had gone on a 25-1 run to seize a 63-27 lead. Solid perimeter defensive pressure and rebounding initiated all of the Bruin scoring, and the bench got in on the act as well. Jonny Rice hit two quick three-pointers, the latter of which gave Belmont its largest lead, 72-32, with 8:47 left. In all, the Bruins shot a season-high 61 percent from the field (33-for-54) - including 15-for-25 from three-point territory. Moreover, Belmont held Campbell to a season-low 34 percent shooting.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - This game never disappoints. Full of passion and hotly-contested possessions, Belmont University men's basketball rode the play of senior captain Andy Wicke to earn a 79-74 victory over Lipscomb Monday night...The 123rd installment of the `Battle of the Boulevard' proved to be a contrast in experience and style of play. The Bruins' roster sports seven upperclassmen, compared to just two for the Bisons. Moreover, Belmont relies heavily on outside shooting while Lipscomb's offense is centered around penetration and post play. But records and statistics matter little in this intense series, with both teams intimately familiar with the players and schemes. Belmont got off quickly. A short bank shot from Jon House gave the Bruins a 10-2 lead three minutes in. A baseline drive from senior Henry Harris and one free throw from senior Shane Dansby gave the Bruins a 21-12 edge midway through the first half. Yet fellow senior Alex Renfroe picked up his second foul soon after, and the Belmont offense would take a different look with the dynamic point guard relegated to the bench. Five straight points from Josh Slater to close the first half sent the teams to the locker room all square at 35. Stingy defense and two three-pointers from Wicke highlighted a 15-3 Bruin run to open the second half as Belmont seized a 5038 advantage with 15:13 to go. Slater answered with a deep three in transition and Brandon Brown tacked on two free throws moments later. Twice more in the next two minutes, Wicke would bury contested triples to preserve the Bruin lead, the latter of which made the score 61-51 with 9:41 left. But the Bisons would not back down. An off-balance banker from Slater capped a 10-0 Lipscomb run to trim the margin to one, 61-60, with 6:11 remaining. House replied with a tough post score before Slater continued his torrid form with a three-pointer to tie things at 63-63 with 5:01 left. But Wicke simply would not let the Bruins lose at home. A timely lob pass assist to Dotson put Belmont back up 65-63. Moments later, Wicke would steal the ball from Michael Lusk and outrace the Bison player to the basket. Though the shot was missed, Lusk was called for an intentional foul. Wicke made both free throws to extend the lead to four, 67-63, with 4:42 to go. Wicke then stepped in front of Slater on a handoff to provide his second steal in succession, passing upcourt to Renfroe for a court-pleasing slam and a six point lead. Renfroe added an offensive rebound putback to up the margin to six, 71-65, with 3:22 left. But the clock would be seemingly frozen in time down the stretch, as both teams battled for the win. A Brown baseline drive got Lipscomb within 71-69 with 2:32 to go, before two Dansby free throws and a Wicke layin stretched the Belmont lead back to six, 75-69, with 1:57 left. But Belmont could not slam the door shut from the free throw line. One-and-one misses from Renfroe and then Wicke kept Lipscomb's hopes alive. Dotson and Adnan Hodzic traded free throws before a Hodzic jumper and one Lusk free throw got the Bisons within 77-74 with 17 seconds left. Wicke then commanded the basketball, made both free throws after being fouled with 16 seconds left to secure the victory.

2008-09 GAME SUMMARIES

JOHNSON CITY, TENN. - - On a snowy night in the mountains, the Bruins were buried under an avalanche of missed shots in falling to East Tennessee State Monday night, 87-57. In its two previous trips to the Memorial Center, Belmont Basketball jumped on East Tennessee State from the opening tip en route to convincing victories. Well, the Bucs flipped the script. Kevin Tiggs scored from close range nine seconds in to get the host Bucs off and running. Five points from Alex Renfroe trimmed the score to one, 6-5, three-plus minutes in. But the Bruins were quite generous early on, with a myriad of turnovers and long perimeter misses sparking the athletic Bucs into the open court. A steal and slam dunk from Tiggs capped an 8-0 ETSU to give the Bucs a 14-5 lead four and a half minutes in. It prompted a quick timeout from Belmont head coach Rick Byrd, and soon after, the Bruins seemed to settle in. Consecutive three-pointers from Andy Wicke and Keaton Belcher got Belmont within 14-11 at the 13:37 mark; the Bruins had seemingly weathered the initial onslaught. But back came Tiggs. Three straight interior baskets from the versatile left-hander pushed the ETSU lead back to 20-11. Five more points from Courtney Pigram soon followed before Matthew Dotson ended the Bruin four minute drought with an offensive rebound basket. Belmont tried to minimize the damage, but ETSU got great production from role players Adam Sollazzo, Greg Hamlin and Micah Williams to keep the Bruins at arm's length. A coast-to-coast layin from Renfroe got Belmont within 39-26 with 1:52 in the half, before an Isiah Brown dunk and three free throws sent the Bucs to the locker room up 18, 44-26. It was a statistical eyesore for the Bruins: 4-for-20 three-point shooting, 12 turnovers and 53 percent shooting from the Bucs...Belmont had a small opening to chip away at the deficit early in the second half as ETSU committed turnovers on four of its first five second half possessions. But Renfroe, Dotson and fellow senior Shane Dansby each misfired on clean looks from long range which could have gotten the Bruins within 12 points. From there, Tiggs reasserted his dominance with a wing trey and a conventional three-point play to stretch the margin to 21, 55-34, with 16:05 left. What followed was a head-scratching repetition of Belmont missed three-pointers and ETSU interior baskets to simply blow the game wide open. Pigram took the offensive torch from Tiggs in the latter stages, with no Bruin able to find the range from inside or outside. A Pigram layin on a transition feed from Mike Smith gave ETSU its largest lead at 33, 81-48, with 4:55 left. Belmont's rough shooting first half only worsened in half number two. In all, the Bruins shot a season-low 28 percent on 18for-64 shooting - including 7-for-35 from long distance.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - Belmont Basketball returned to its winning ways Saturday night, riding the hot hand of Matthew Dotson in a 75-66 victory over Kennesaw State. Hoping to rediscover its trademark three-point shooting touch, Belmont got off to a rather inauspicious start. A deep wing trey from Kurtis Woods provided Kennesaw State with a quick 7-0 lead less than two minutes into the game. After Dotson responded with a conventional threepoint play, Kelvin McConnell replied with another deep three-pointer to reassert the Owls' seven point cushion. But five more points from Dotson and a determined transition slam from Keaton Belcher tied the score at 10 four minutes in. From there, it was merely a manifestation of the projected contrast in styles: Belmont's yearning to accelerate the tempo and allow senior point guard Alex Renfroe to dictate the game versus Kennesaw State's willingness to drip the shot clock under five seconds possession after possession. The lead seesawed back and forth six times midway through the first half before a Renfroe steal and thunderous slam tied the score at 19 with 7:53 left. The play seemed to electrify both the fans and the players who were fighting through the methodical Owl attack. Two Renfroe free throws followed before a layin from Jon House stretched the Bruin lead to 23-19. After Zadrian Gibson tied things at 23, Belmont closed the half on a timely 9-0 spurt. Dotson scored five more points before Renfroe ended the half with a slicing drive. The Bruins led 32-23 at halftime...Belmont looked poised to break the game open out of the locker room. A textbook set play to Andy Wicke gave Belmont its first doubledigit lead of the game. And when Dotson ripped the nets once more from long range, the Bruins extended the margin to 14, 43-29, with 16:12 to go.But Belmont wasn't facing a typical opponent - one content on sticking to one style of play. After slowing things down in the halfcourt for the entire first half, Kennesaw State turned on a dime and proceeded to pressure the Bruins for 94 feet. Periodic Belmont turnovers ensued - and coupled with the hot outside shooting of Woods - Kennesaw State closed to 47-42 with 11:03 remaining. After solid production from Mick Hedgepeth and a sweet teardrop from Renfroe upped Belmont's lead back to 51-42, the Owls inched closer. A contested Spencer Dixon three-pointer capped a 9-2 Kennesaw State run and got the visitors within 53-51 with 7:50 to go. Strangely, Kennesaw State was the team ripping the nets from beyond the arc. However, the Bruins consistently broke Kennesaw State pressure for scores at the rim. Dotson led the way, as he, House and Shane Dansby scored on consecutive possessions to halt the Owls' run. Two Woods free throws would get Kennesaw State within 58-55 with 5:06 left, but the Owls would get no closer. A baseline three-pointer from Wicke capped a key 7-0 run as the Bruins bumped the lead back to 65-55 with 3:15 left. Belmont pressured Kennesaw State ball handlers and shooters down the stretch while going 6-for7 from the free throw line to secure the victory. All told, the Bruins shot 56 percent from the floor (27-for-48) including 70 percent in the second half. It was Dotson's night, as he scored a career-high 27 points on 10-for-14 shooting and added eight rebounds. The Centerville, Tenn. native became just the ninth Bruin in the program's NCAA era to eclipse 1,000 career points.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. - - With shots rimming out and bounces going against them, it would have been so easy for Belmont Basketball to chalk this game up in the "One of those days" category. But behind senior leadership and determined defense, the Bruins defeated USC Upstate Saturday, 73-69...Belmont went nearly the first four minutes of the game scoreless, and USC Upstate claimed an early 7-0 lead on a jumper from Bobby Davis. After Jon House got the Bruins on the board, the inspired host Spartans regained the seven point edge on a bucket from Carter Cook. After a conventional three-point play from Alex Renfroe got Belmont within 17-15 with 7:44 in the half, USC Upstate scored eight unanswered points. Despite forcing several Spartan turnovers, Belmont missed its first eight three-point attempts, hindering its ability to narrow the gap. Trailing 31-19 late in the half, House gave the Bruins a huge lift, burying two straight wing three-pointers to cut the lead in half. Keaton Belcher capped the 12-2 Belmont run with a trey of his own to get Belmont within 33-31 with 37 seconds left in the half. But trying to force a Spartan turnover for another offensive possession, the Bruins allowed Davis to get open for a conventional three-point play. USC Upstate led 36-31 at halftime. The Bruins came out of the locker room angry and energized. An offensive rebound putback by Shane Dansby tied the score at 36 with 16:11 left. USC Upstate went scoreless the first four minutes of the half until a Cook running jumper. Mike Dejworek tied the score at 38 on a nice layin, before five points from De'Marion Gordon and a Josh Chavis three-pointer again stretch the Spartans lead to eight, 46-38, with 13:09 remaining. But the Belmont active defense continued, and when Renfroe slammed home a House miss, the Bruins seized their first lead of the game at 49-48 with 10:12 to go. The seesaw affair continued, with USC Upstate taking a 59-54 lead on a wing three-pointer from Gabor Boros. The Bruins replied in kind; three free throws from House and threepointers from Andy Wicke and Matthew Dotson accounted for a 9-0 Bruin run and a 63-59 lead with 3:58 left. A gorgeous scoop layin from House kept the lead at four, 67-63, with 2:39 remaining. Then after Belcher and House collided on a defensive rebound attempt, Davis scored while being fouled by Renfroe to cut the lead to 6765 with 2:17 to go. After the Davis missed free throw, Belmont missed two field goal attempts before Renfroe elevated for an enormous offensive rebound. He was fouled by Gordon and proceeded to make both free throws to extend the lead back to four, 69-65, with 1:40 left. The Bruins got a defensive stop and were on the verge of putting the game on ice before an off-the-ball moving screen on Drew Hanlen gave the Spartans new life. But Wicke stole the ball from Davis as he drove baseline. The senior captain made one of two free throws to give Belmont a 70-65 lead with 35 seconds remaining. Chavis missed two long attempts before Renfroe's free throws with 15 seconds left secured the outcome.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - Behind the exceptional allaround game of Alex Renfroe, Belmont Basketball outlasted Mercer Monday night, 86-82, in overtime. The Bruins entered the contest having defeated Mercer nine consecutive times, including the previous two at the Curb Event Center by a combined 61 points. But those in the know realized that this affair would be no walkover, as this Bears' edition was armed and loaded, especially given their solid non-conference resume. After Andy Wicke sank two free throws late in the first half to give Belmont a one point lead, Daniel Emerson took a feed from Mark Hall and dunked right before the first half buzzer to send the Bears to the locker room ahead, 34-33. Renfroe led the cause with 10 points and nine rebounds in the first half. And the speedy point guard was merely warming up. Belmont showed great energy and purpose early in the second half. A baseline Renfroe jam, a short Dotson jumper and a Wicke three-pointer in the first 62 seconds of the second half gave Belmont a 40-34 lead. Mick Hedgepeth tacked on a short post basket to extend the margin to 48-40 with 15:16 left. A bank shot from sophomore Jon House stretched the Bruin lead to 11, 62-51, with 10:18 to go. But as Belmont attempted to provide its starters with a brief rest, Mercer ripped off seven straight points in a minutes' time to get back within four, 62-58, on a James Florence three-pointer. The Bruins hung tough and pushed the lead back to eight, 69-61 with 6:43 left on a floater from Shane Dansby. But one Belmont field goal over the next four-plus minutes allowed Mercer to chip away. Five more Florence points tied the score at 71 with 2:08 remaining. Dansby rose up again, burying a straight on three-pointer to give Belmont a 74-71 lead with 1:54 to go. After an exchange of defensive stops, Hall sank a wing trey with 41 seconds left to tie the score at 74. Renfroe nearly sank a 12 footer with five seconds left, but it rimmed off, and the game went to overtime. Both teams opened the extra session cold, before House sank a tough bank shot over Michael Ellis to give the Bruins a 76-74 edge. E. J. Kusnyer answered with his fourth threepointer of the game to put Mercer on top, 77-76. After Renfroe and Hall traded one of two trips to the free throw line, House again scored from close range to put Belmont back up one, 79-78, with 2:18 in overtime. Then with Emerson seemingly wide open for an easy layin or dunk to put the Bears back ahead, Dansby flew in from the weakside for a timely blocked shot. After Renfroe missed two free throws - his lone demerit on an otherwise stellar night - and Kusnyer rimmed out a trey, Dansby to a lob feed from Dotson and scored to give Belmont an 81-78 lead with 53 seconds left in overtime. The Bruins got another defensive stop and made five of six free throws in the final 22 seconds to secure the win.

FT. MYERS, FLA. - - Sharp and active on both ends of the floor, Belmont Basketball defeated Florida Gulf Coast Saturday afternoon, 92-74...In their previous five games, the Bruins had shot an uncharacteristically tepid 27 percent from three-point territory. However, as the team entered the second half of conference play, its trademark long range shooting prowess made a welcomed return. Trailing 5-4 three minutes in, seniors Alex Renfroe, Andy Wicke and Matthew Dotson each ripped the nets from behind the arc as the Bruins built a 17-7 lead. Moreover, Belmont's communication, effort and consistency on defense was noticeably ratcheted up against the formidable host Eagles. And despite two long range makes from Delvin Franklin, the Bruins continued to showcase crisp ball movement for high percentage shots. Wicke and fellow senior Henry Harris each made treys midway through the first half as the Bruins led 23-15 with 9:24 left in the half. Then after the Eagles inched within 27-21, Belmont poured it on with inspired team play. Turning defense into offense, senior Shane Dansby, junior Keaton Belcher, Wicke and Dotson each sank three-pointers as part of a 12-1 Belmont run to extend the lead to 39-22 with 3:37 in the half. The Bruins were protecting their defensive backboard, challenging ball handlers and shooters and working the offense to find the open man. Threepointers from freshman Drew Hanlen and Wicke in the final 49 seconds of the half sent Belmont to the locker room up 18, 48-30. The Bruins shot 57 percent from the field in the opening 20 minutes - including 11-for-18 from three-point territory. Moreover, Belmont surrendered only one Florida Gulf Coast offensive rebound. Renfroe scored from close range to open the second half to stretch the lead to 50-30. The Eagles would ride the play of Reggie Chambers and Derrick O'Neil to cut into the Bruin advantage; a Chambers scoop shot trimmed the margin to 57-46 with 15:13 left. But the Bruins simply answered every call on this day. Renfroe and Wicke led a 9-0 run over the next 1:17 as Belmont pushed the lead back to 66-46 with 13:56 left. Physical play characterized the second half - 25 fouls were committed after halftime - but the Bruins played tough rather than recklessly. Sophomore Jon House took the scoring baton in the later stages, scoring eight of 10 Bruin points that kept the Eagles at bay.

DeLAND, FLA. - - After a promising opening 25 minutes, Belmont Basketball lost at Stetson Monday night, 82-71...The Bruins and Hatters came out sloppy, as teams traded a litany of turnovers from the outset. But after an A.J. Smith free throw gave Stetson an 11-6 lead six minutes in, Belmont answered with a 10-0 run. Alex Renfroe had a hand in eight of the points as the Bruins went ahead 16-11. Matthew Dotson scored five straight points as part of a 9-0 Bruin spurt as the lead swelled to 29-17 with 5:46 in the half. The Bruins defense was active and opportunistic, forcing Stetson into risky passes or difficult shots late in the shot clock. After a Renfroe floater inched the lead to 34-21, Garfield Blair punctuated a 7-0 Hatter run with a wing three-pointer to make the score 34-28 with 1:46 to go. The teams exchanged scores right before the half as Belmont took a 36-30 lead to the locker room. But in many respects, the Bruins failed to take full advantage of Stetson's loose first-half ball handling. The Hatters committed 17 first half turnovers, yet Belmont shot just 44 percent (14-for-32) from the field and committed 11 turnovers of its own. Renfroe scored Belmont's first four points of the second half, and when Dotson tipped home a Renfroe missed free throw, the Bruins seized a 4432 edge with 18:39 remaining. Following five Stetson points, Keaton Belcher made a three-pointer over the Hatter zone to give Belmont a 47-37 lead with 16:16 left. Two consecutive deep threes from Smith got Stetson within 47-45 with 14:05 remaining. Yet Shane Dansby replied with a tip-in basket before Dotson supplied a tough conventional three-point play to up the lead back to 52-45 with 12:26 to go. But moments later, Smith would slice through the Bruin defense and score while drawing Dansby's fourth foul with 12:11 left. The Bruins carried on for the time being, and two free throws from Henry Harris preserved the seven point lead, 57-50, with 9:43 remaining. But from there, Stetson thrived while Belmont labored. The Hatters hurt the Bruins on the offensive glass, with a Mark Lohuis basket on a third shot opportunity aiding the Stetson push. Four points from Blair cut the margin to one, 57-56, with 7:52 remaining. Renfroe answered with a timely post move to stem the tide, but the Bruins would go the next 6:13 without a field goal. Over that stretch, Smith entered the zone. Whether shooting or passing, the Hatter lead guard had a hand in 15 of Stetson's 17 points during a backbreaking 20-2 run that saw Stetson go from down three to up 76-61 with 2:12 left.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - In a Valentine's Day heartstopper, Belmont Basketball received courageous performances across the board in rallying past East Tennessee State Saturday night, 76-73. Despite early foul trouble on starting forwards Jon House and Matthew Dotson, Belmont ended the first half strong. Defensive stops plus the ultra-assertive offensive wizardry of Renfroe helped the Bruins close the half on a 17-7 run. A baseline threepointer from Henry Harris sent Belmont to the locker room up two, 35-33. The seesaw affair - four ties and 12 lead changes all told - continued into the second half. Kevin Tiggs scored eight consecutive points for ETSU during one stretch to give the Bucs a 48-45 lead with 13:30 to go. ETSU then got three-point plays from Adam Sollazzo, Micah Williams and a bucket from Tiggs to take a 56-47 lead with 11:09 left. An offensive rebound putback from House closed the deficit to 58-51 with 9:50 remaining, but Tiggs continued to deliver offensively. A driving layin gave ETSU its largest lead of 11, 64-53, with 7:41 left. In desperate need of a spark, Belmont once again got one from the gutsy Harris. Reminiscent of his determined play against ETSU in the 2008 Atlantic Sun Tournament Semifinals, Harris followed two Hanlen free throws with five quick points to get the Bruins within 6460 with 6:28 left. Two Greg Hamlin free throws put ETSU back up six before the Bruins ripped off nine unanswered points. Andy Wicke started the run with a backdoor layin before he fed House on a wing threepointer to close the deficit to 66-65 with 4:52 left. After a Renfroe steal, House tipped home his own missed bank shot to put the Bruins on top, 67-66, with 4:23 left. Then after a rare Tiggs misfire, Shane Dansby capped the spurt with a layin to put the Bruins up 69-66 with 3:43 to go. But Mike Smith scored four straight points to put ETSU back on top 70-69 with 2:33 left. Wicke responded with a 17-foot jumper to give Belmont a 71-70 advantage with 2:23 to go. In a game full of championship spirit and intensity, both teams produced fine play. After a long Pigram missed trey, Sollazzo grabbed an offensive rebound and fed Pigram for a backdoor layin plus a Belmont foul. The conventional three-point play gave the Bucs a 73-71 lead with 1:54 left. The Bruins proceeded to free Dotson - who was 1-for-7 from the field at the time - for a baseline three-pointer which ripped the nets for a 74-73 lead with 1:28 remaining. The Bruins then forced Tiggs into a contested baseline 10 footer which rimmed off. House grabbed the defensive rebound for Belmont. The team freed Wicke for a wing three-pointer with 20 seconds left, but it missed and ETSU was awarded possession when the ball caromed out of bounds. Trailing by one, the Bucs passed the ball around the perimeter before finding Tiggs, who drove the left side of the lane and kicked out to Pigram. His contested three-pointer with seven seconds left missed, and Hedgepeth grabbed a huge rebound in traffic for the Bruins. He was fouled with just over two seconds remaining - the Bucs' ninth team foul of the second half. The freshman calmly sank both free throws to give the Bruins a 76-73 lead. Pigram's halfcourt shot at the buzzer narrowly missed to the left.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - Unable to come up with timely shots or defensive stops down the stretch, Belmont Basketball lost at Lipscomb Thursday night, 73-68. Andy Wicke picked up his third personal foul with 10:10 to go in the half, forcing the Bruins to alter their plan of attack. Renfroe scored six points and senior Matthew Dotson had five - including a baseline jumper in the final seconds - in the final burst to send the Bruins to the locker room up nine, 36-27. Renfroe answered a Hodzic layin with a bank shot to open the half, before the Bisons drew closer. When Hodzic scored a conventional three-point play off a Jimmy Oden miss, the Bisons claimed a 50-45 lead with 13:43 left. All told, Lipscomb outscored Belmont 23-9 out of the locker room. Belmont kept fighting, and with Renfroe engineering the offensive revival, Belmont got within 57-55 with 6:32 to go and had three clean looks from behind the arc to take the lead back. But the shots rimmed off. Then following the under four minute media timeout, Michael Lusk buried a deep, contested threepointer before the shot clock expired to give Lipscomb a 60-55 lead with 3:35 to go. Renfroe's conventional threepoint play got Belmont within 60-58 with 3:16 left. However, the Bisons replied yet again, this time with Michael Teller draining a baseline three-pointer with 3:00 left to bump Lipscomb's edge back to five. Harris scored an acrobatic layin moments later to get the Bruins within 63-60. But alas, the Bisons buried their third straight three-pointer in a 70 second span; Lusk's wing triple making the score 66-60 with 2:28 left. After Dansby missed a contested back shot, Hodzic appeared to deliver the dagger with a layin on a lob pass from Oden to give Lipscomb a 68-60 lead with 1:20 remaining. But as was the case in their remarkable comeback victory over Campbell Feb. 6, the Bruins continued to execute. After a Renfroe teardrop and one Brandon Brown free throw, Dansby scored on an assist from Renfroe to inch the Bruins within five, 69-64, with 51 seconds left. Belmont proceeded to foul Oden, who missed the front end of a one-and-one. Renfroe then raced into the front court and found Dotson, who drilled a wing three-pointer with 38 seconds to go to get Belmont within 69-67. The Bruins sent Oden to the line again, and he missed his second straight front end of a one-and-one. With new life, Belmont got Wicke a three-point look, but his off-balance trey attempt with 28 seconds left missed the mark. But the loose ball rebound went off a Lipscomb player and Belmont retained possession. Belmont head coach Rick Byrd dialed up one of his trademark out-of-bounds plays, freeing Dotson for an open, straight on three-pointer for the lead. Dotson's shot rimmed off, before Dansby was fouled on the offensive glass with 21 seconds to go. With two free throws to tie, Dansby missed his first attempt. He made the second free throw to get the Bruins within 69-68. Two seconds later, Oden was fouled for a third time; this time the Murfreesboro, Tenn. native sank both free throws to put Lipscomb up 71-68. In need of a three-pointer to tie, Belmont tried to free Dotson and Wicke, but the Bisons played solid defense. Renfroe tried a leaning three-pointer with eight seconds left, but his shot came up short and Oden grabbed the rebound. Two more Oden free throws closed the scoring.

NCAA TOURNAMENT 2006, 2007, 2008

BUIES CREEK, N.C. - - Words truly cannot do it justice. Those in attendance will never forget what they witnessed. Simply put, what happened Friday night in the Carolina sandhills will go down as the most remarkable victory in Belmont Basketball history. Trailing by 18 points with 3:27 remaining, the Bruins outscored Campbell 30-9 down the stretch to claim a stirring and emotional 87-84 victory. When Matt Gwynne broke Belmont pressure for a conventional three-point play, Campbell led 75-57 with 3:27 remaining. For what transpired next would defy description: arguably one of the greatest comeback in college basketball history. Though Campbell was already in the double bonus, the Bruins elected to foul and see what happened from the free throw line. Renfroe and Shane Dansby sparked the Bruin comeback, and Campbell missed free throws aided the cause. Despite growing nervousness and anxiety from the partisan Pope Convocation Center crowd, Rodriguez sank two free throws moments later to make the score 80-69 with 1:42 left. Renfroe again orchestrated the Belmont open court attack, driving and finding Dotson open for three to get Belmont within 80-72 with 1:35 remaining. After going 2-for-24 from three-point range for the first 36 minutes of the game, Dansby's ho-hum three-pointer at the 3:39 mark ripped the lid off the Belmont basket. Once again Belmont would press and foul, and Hartley proceeded to miss two free throws with 1:21 left. Renfroe raced to the basket and scored in a flash to get Belmont within 80-74 with 1:14 to go. After one Merthie free throw with 1:11 left, Wicke ripped the nets again from behind the arc to make the score 81-77 with 1:05 remaining. After a timeout and a foul in press defense, Dodson made one of two free throws to give Campbell an 82-77 edge with 55 seconds left. Dansby snatched a huge offensive rebound and was fouled on a putback attempt with 41 seconds left. He made both free throws to get Belmont within 82-79. After another Bruin foul, Hartley sank both free throws to extend Campbell's lead to 84-79 with 40 seconds remaining. But Renfroe continued to be indefensible, weaving through the Camel defense and scoring while being fouled by Rodriguez. Renfroe completed the threepoint play to make the score 84-82 with 34 seconds remaining. After a near steal and jump-ball situation in front of the Bruin bench, a loose ball deflected across the court and possession was awarded to Campbell. Hartley then threw a baseball pass down court against Belmont pressure without a Camel player nearby. The ball rolled out-of-bounds untouched and possession went to the Bruins with 28 seconds to go. Belmont then freed Dotson for a baseline three-pointer, which he sank over recovering Campbell defense, to give the Bruins an 85-84 lead with 21 seconds remaining; Belmont's first lead since 2-0. With both teams out of timeouts, Campbell raced the ball into the frontcourt, with Merthie missing a contested layin attempt with 11 seconds left. A mad scramble for the loose ball rebound ensued with Belmont gaining possession on the arrow. The Bruins got the ball to Wicke, who was fouled with nine seconds left. He calmly sank both free throws to give Belmont an 87-84 lead. The Camels had one final chance, but freshman Drew Hanlen defended Amir Celestin well and his off-balance three-pointer at the buzzer missed.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - Sparked by another virtuoso performance from Alex Renfroe, Belmont Basketball defeated USC Upstate Monday night, 76-56. Following physical contests against Lipscomb and East Tennessee State in the past four nights, the Bruins were wary of an emotional letdown against upstart Upstate - who had won its three previous contests prior to arriving in Nashville. But Belmont came out with purpose and energy from the opening tip, holding the Spartans scoreless over the first 4:09 of the game in building a 10-0 lead. A conventional three-point play from Bobby Davis got USC Upstate within 13-6 six and a half minutes in, but the Bruins were undeterred. Four consecutive three-pointers - the last of which supplied by an enthusiastic Renfroe - capped a 14-2 run and gave the Bruins a 27-8 advantage with 7:22 left in the half. Belmont played swarming, communicative halfcourt defense - forcing the Spartans into hurried field goal attempts which triggered the speedy Renfroe in the open court. Three more long range makes from Renfroe, Andy Wicke and Matthew Dotson respectively sent Belmont to the locker room with a commanding 42-19 lead. The Bruins shot 53 percent from the field in the opening 20 minutes - including a red-hot 10-for-18 from three-point territory. Meanwhile, Belmont limited USC Upstate to 27 percent shooting. The offensive rhythm continued into the second half, with highlights coming from all angles. After a Renfroe reverse layin off a timely feed from Wicke, Dotson found Jon House on the break for an acrobatic conventional three-point play and a 56-24 Belmont lead with 16:30 left. The lead grew to 37, 64-27, with 12:09 to go on a Renfroe teardrop. The Bruins were clicking on all cylinders and playing their best basketball of the season. But just as the starters earned a breather and the reserves got their bearings, the Bruins went cold and USC Upstate caught a second wind. Belmont made just one field goal over the next 10:18 as the Spartans went on an eye-opening 27-4 run. Aided by Bruin missed free throws and atypical defensive breakdowns, Nick Schneiders' short jumper got USC Upstate as close as 14, 68-54, with 3:49 left. After one House free throw, Dansby ended the agonizing drought with a layin off a Renfroe pass. Belmont would score eight straight points before a Schneiders tip-in closed the scoring.

KENNESAW, GA. - - In a game better served for the edit room floor than ESPN Classic, Belmont Basketball defeated Kennesaw State Friday night, 54-39. Kennesaw State won the opening tip and scored on a Kurtis Woods dunk just four seconds into the game. The play, coupled with an offensive rebound by Spencer Dixon, prompted Belmont head coach Rick Byrd to go his bench 90 seconds into the game. After missing their first four shot attempts, the Bruins finally got on the board on a threepointer from Keaton Belcher to take a 3-2 lead. As was the case in the teams' Jan. 24 meeting in Nashville, Kennesaw State elected to grind the game to a tortoise pace, working each possession under five seconds before eying the basket. But solid Belmont defense kept the Owls off the scoreboard for nearly six minutes, allowing the Bruins to take a five point lead on a free throw from Mick Hedgepeth. A baseline three-pointer from Matthew Dotson gave Belmont an 11-7 lead seven-plus minutes in. Moments later, Alex Renfroe stole the ball and broke free in the open court; but Renfroe's one-handed slam dunk attempt rattled out and the Bruins proceeded to go the next five minutes scoreless. Two John Allison free throws gave Kennesaw State a 16-14 lead with 5:43 in the half, before the Bruins ripped off a 12-0 run. Belcher keyed the spurt, scoring seven straight points to put the Bruins ahead 26-16 with 53 seconds left in the half. An Artie Marine tip-in sent Belmont to the locker room up eight, 26-18. A Renfroe layin opened the second half scoring. Following a Spencer Dixon three-pointer, Belmont went on a 14-3 run to take control. Five more Renfroe points and a free throw from Jon House stretched the lead to 4224 with 10:08 remaining. Thought the Owls extended into full court pressure, they were unable to find consistent offense against the solid Bruin halfcourt defense. Nevertheless, Belmont's sloppy ball handling and poor decision-making in the frontcourt gave the Owls new life. A Dixon pullup jumper trimmed the Bruin lead to eight, 42-34, with 6:20 left. But House and Dotson would answer with tough interior baskets to push the lead back to 12. A Kelvin McConnell jumpshot got Kennesaw State within 46-38 with 3:59 to go, before Shane Dansby replied with a timely three-pointer. Andy Wicke added a wing threepointer with 2:05 left, which provided the final margin.

February 22, 2009 University Center - - Macon, Ga. 36 47 Belmont Bruins Mercer Bears 41 48

83 89

MACON, GA. - - After scripting an inspired second-half comeback, Belmont Basketball stomached a nightmarish final three minutes in falling at Mercer Sunday afternoon, 89-83. An individual scoring exchange between Andy Wicke and Mercer's James Florence ensued. Wicke made four three-pointers in a three minute span while Florence scored 10 points in the first 10 minutes of the game. Florence's 21 first-half points carried Mercer to a 4136 halftime lead. Dansby continued his fine form early in the second half, as his fourth three-pointer of the game got Belmont within 43-40 with 18:06 left. A fast break layin from Mick Hedgepeth on a feed from Drew Hanlen got the Bruins within 52-49 with 13:57 to go. But Brian Mills and E.J. Kusnyer replied with three-pointers to hinder the Bruin charge. With Belmont clamping down on Florence and the offense producing open shots, the Bruins forged ahead. Five straight points from Renfroe gave Belmont a 64-62 lead with 8:15 left. But once more the Bears replied with a three, this time Florence from straight on. As the seesaw contest pressed on, Renfroe continued to attack the basket and score time and again. An offensive rebound by House and conventional threepoint play by Renfroe gave Belmont a 72-69 edge with 4:38 remaining. Two Renfroe free throws gave the Bruins a 75-71 lead with 3:06 left; momentum and control was seemingly in Belmont's favor. Then it all went awry. Mercer freed Kusyner for a wing three-pointer to cut the Bruin lead to one, 75-74, with 2:50 to go. After breaking Bears' pressure defense, senior Henry Harris had a pass intercepted by Mills. Then as Mills passed off to guard Mark Hall, Wicke gambled for a steal and was called for a reach-in foul. After making the first free throw to tie the score at 75, Hall missed the second free throw. But Emerson grabbed the offensive rebound to preserve the Mercer possession. Hall then rimmed out a three-pointer, only to have the rebound deflect off of Dansby to give the Bears yet another try. Mills was then fouled by Hedgepeth on a difficult blocking call. Mills' two free throws gave Mercer a 77-75 lead with 2:15 left. The Bruins drew up a textbook offensive play, with House feeding Renfroe for a backdoor attempt at the rim. But Renfroe's layup attempt was blocked on aggressive helpside defense from Mills. With possession, Mercer turned to Florence, who scored a hanging leaner in the lane with 1:35 remaining to give the Bears a 79-75 lead. A Dotson pass was then tipped away, with Mills yet again Johnny-on-the-spot for the steal. In need of a play, Renfroe appeared to steal the ball away from Emerson near midcourt, but he was whistled for a reach-in foul. Emerson's two free throws pushed the Mercer lead to six, 81-75, with 59 seconds to go. After one Renfroe free throw, the Bruins appeared to get a steal on an errant pass from Emerson. But a backpedaling Hanlen lost his footing in trying to steal the wayward pass. The ball bounced right into Mills' hands on the press break, who was then fouled by Harris. Mills and Florence pushed the lead to 83-76 with 29 seconds left. Belmont got within four points three more times in the final 24 seconds, but simply ran out of time.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - Freshman Mick Hedgepeth scored an offensive rebound putback basket with 0.2 seconds remaining to lift Belmont Basketball to a dramatic 65-64 victory over Mercer in the Atlantic Sun Tournament Quarterfinals Thursday afternoon. Consecutive baskets from Renfroe, Shane Dansby and Andy Wicke stretched the Bruin edge to 13, 31-18, midway through the first half. Swarming Mercer post man Daniel Emerson and forcing contested perimeter shots, the Bruins turned sound defense into offense. Truly playing one of its finest first halves in recent memory, Belmont seized a 39-25 lead with 3:58 in the half on a floater from Renfroe. But after a blocking foul on Jon House prolonged the Bears' final possession, Florence sank a fadeaway three-pointer at the buzzer to get Mercer within 4133 at the break. The Bruins missed their first six shots out of the locker room, allowing the Bears to inch within 4341 on another Kusnyer triple. But a 9-0 Belmont run, sparked by the long distance shooting of Keaton Belcher, enabled the Bruins to increase their lead back to 11, 57-46, with 13:46 to go. Yet after a short bank shot from Dotson gave Belmont a 59-48 advantage with 10:47 left - much like a scene from the show Lost - the Bruins were inexplicably transported to the land of missed shots. The lid on Belmont's basket was seemingly slammed shut - with interior shots and clean three-point looks alike rimming off. With Wicke and Belcher each nursing four fouls and the Mercer defense clamping down on Renfroe, the Bruin lead slowly dwindled. Florence's short jumper tied the score at 60 with 5:26 remaining. Then after two missed free throws from House and two other empty possessions, Daniel Emerson's dunk with 2:31 left gave the Bears their first lead of the game, 62-60. After one Renfroe free throw and an exchange of defensive stops, Renfroe claimed a defensive rebound, raced into the frontcourt and found Wicke open for three in front of the Bruin bench. But like so many Belmont shots in the second half, the senior sharpshooter's attempt rimmed off. On Mercer's next possession, Renfroe blocked a Mark Hall shot to give the ball back to Belmont. Following a timeout, Renfroe - the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year - darted through the Mercer defense and scored at the rim with 32 seconds left to give Belmont a 63-62 lead. After the Bruins reinserted Henry Harris for his defensive prowess, Florence banked home a leaning shot in the lane with nine seconds left to put Mercer up one, 64-63. Belmont head coach Rick Byrd elected to play the sequence out, not calling timeout to substitute Renfroe back into the game. Wicke drove the lane and had his 10 footer partially blocked by Hall. But with timing winding down, Hedgepeth corralled the loose ball rebound, powered up, and banked home the offensive rebound basket with 0.2 seconds remaining. Mercer was unable to get a final shot off before the horn sounded.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - Marcus Allen's three-pointer with 35 seconds left in overtime gave visiting Jacksonville a dramatic 84-82 victory over Belmont Saturday afternoon. Alex Renfroe scored Belmont's final 12 points of the first half to get the Bruins within 40-29 at intermission. The Bruin deficit grew to 18 points, 47-29, with 17:03 left on an Ayron Hardy layin, but the inspired play of Renfroe led Belmont back. However, two consecutive contested three-pointers by Ben Smith gave Jacksonville a seemingly insurmountable 64-54 lead with 2:25 to go. But reminiscent of previous comeback efforts against Campbell and ETSU this season, Belmont simply fought onward. After a deep three-pointer from Wicke, Belmont forced a five second violation on Smith to gain back possession. Renfroe then raced to the basket and scored a conventional three-point play to trim the margin to four, 64-60, with 1:12 left. Following two Smith free throws, Renfroe drew two free throws of his own and got Belmont back within 66-62 with 1:05 left. The Bruins forced a five second violation on the subsequent Jacksonville inbounds pass. Byrd then drew up a play for Dotson, who buried a straight on three-pointer to get Belmont within 66-65 with 1:02 to go. Belmont watched as Smith buried an off-balance leaner in the lane to give the Dolphins a 68-65 lead with 31 seconds left. Tevin Galvin made one free throw to extend the Jacksonville lead to four with 19 seconds left. After Belcher tipped home a Renfroe miss to cut the deficit in half, the Bruins fouled Galvin with under seven seconds left. Galvin missed both free throws, which set the stage for Renfroe to drive the length of the court and score at the rim with 0.8 seconds left, forcing overtime 71-71. The energized Curb Event Center crowd sensed another memorable Belmont victory, especially after another Renfroe score to open the extra session gave the Bruins' their first lead in nearly two hours at 73-71. The teams traded scores before a Renfroe offensive rebound, and cross-court feed set up Wicke for a wing three-pointer in front of the Bruin bench to give Belmont a 78-75 lead with 2:33 left. After one Lehmon Colbert free throw, Dotson had the ball slip out of his hands on a reversal pass. Smith stepped in front, raced downcourt, and scored to tie the score at 78. But Renfroe once again delivered, answering with a post move basket to put Belmont ahead 80-78 with 1:21 left. The Bruins then forced a Smith miss, but Dansby was called for an off-the-ball foul on Allen in pursuit of the rebound. Allen made two free throws to tie the score once more at 80 with 1:00 left in overtime. The Bruins ran a backdoor play to Jon House, who made an acrobatic catch of a Wicke pass, spun, and was fouled at the rim. House calmly sank both free throws to put Belmont back ahead, 82-80, with 47 seconds left in overtime. Jacksonville then tried to free Smith, who passed to the top of the key to Allen - 6-for-27 from three-point range on the season entering the day - and he sank a three-pointer with 35 seconds left to give Jacksonville an 83-82 lead. Belmont turned to the ever-productive Renfroe, but Jacksonville double-teamed him at midcourt, Renfroe passed to an open House, who drove the lane and found Wicke cross court open for a shot. But Hardy closed late, contested the attempt and Wicke's baseline 15-footer with 15 seconds left rimmed off. Belmont had difficulty fouling Dolphin ball handlers, with Harris ultimately fouling Hardy with six seconds left. Hardy subsequently made one of two free throws to bump the score to 84-82. On Belmont's final chance, Smith poked the ball free of Renfroe and Wicke's off-balance 30 footer at the horn rimmed off.

POSTSEASON NIT 2004

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - Behind its sharpest first half of the season, Belmont Basketball defeated North Florida Thursday night, 87-49. In facing an Osprey squad riding a three-game winning streak, the Bruins came out focused and energized. A darting layin from Alex Renfroe gave Belmont a 9-0 lead less than two minutes into the game. Following two baskets from Eni Cuka, the Bruins went on a 10-2 spurt over the next four minutes. Two interior baskets from Jon House and a layin from Shane Dansby increased the Belmont lead to 21-6 seven minutes in. Belmont's intense, communicative defense triggered open court opportunities with Renfroe delivering time and again. Two Renfroe teardrops, a Dansby wing threepointer, and a pullup jumper from Henry Harris stretched the margin to 23, 32-9, midway through the first half. It was vintage Belmont Basketball, with unselfish play leading to clean looks for all. A flurry of three-pointers from Dansby, Andy Wicke, Keaton Belcher and Drew Hanlen gave the Bruins a commanding 49-20 advantage with 3:48 to go in the half. Two Renfroe free throws sent Belmont to the locker room up 31, 53-22. The Bruins shot 61 percent (19-for-31) from the floor in the opening 20 minutes including 8-for-15 from three-point territory. Moreover, Belmont had 12 first half assists to only two turnovers, while limiting North Florida to 32 percent shooting. Belmont's 53 first-half points tied a season-high. In many respects for Belmont fans, the second half was compelling to see if Renfroe would tally the program's first tripledouble of the NCAA era. With Belmont head coach Rick Byrd substituting regularly in the second half, Mick Hedgepeth scored consecutive post baskets to increase the Bruin lead to 65-32 with 13:14 remaining. After Wicke found Matthew Dotson on a backdoor layin, Renfroe scored an acrobatic baseline slam dunk to make the score 74-38 with 6:22 remaining. In the final five minutes, Jonny Rice electrified the student section with two threepointers en route to a career-high eight points.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - Belmont Basketball's remarkable streak of 10 consecutive Atlantic Sun Tournament victories and three consecutive Atlantic Sun Tournament Championships came to an end Friday night, as East Tennessee State rode a 16-4 run to close the game in defeating the valiant Bruins, 88-74, in the conference semifinals. Jon House gave the Bruins a spark by attacking the basket on Buc reserves. Yet, with Renfroe nursing fouls and House picking up his third personal with six minutes left in the half, ETSU slowly pulled ahead. Two deep, contested three-pointers from Courtney Pigram gave the Bucs a 34-24 lead with 1:54 left in the half. But a quick reply from long distance from Wicke and a backdoor layin from Dansby before the first half horn got Belmont within 34-29 at the break. Mike Smith's pullup jumper capped an 8-0 ETSU run to open the half and deepened Belmont's deficit to 42-29 with 17:43 to go. After a Rick Byrd timeout, the Bruins responded strongly, as back-to-back three-pointers from Renfroe and Wicke got Belmont within 44-42 with 14:19 left. But a Greg Hamlin layin and a steal and driving basket from Pigram increased the margin back to six. After some offensive struggles in the first half, the Bruins systematically broke down the ETSU defense for high percentage shots for much of the second half. A Renfroe offensive rebound basket got Belmont within 49-46 with 12:36 left. But a key Hamlin offensive rebound basket of his own and three ETSU free throws bumped the margin back to eight. Belcher replied with a two-handed slam, before a twisting interior basket from Tommy Hubbard upped the lead back to 56-48 with 11:41 left. Following a layin from Matthew Dotson, Smith hit two free throws and Hubbard scored from close range to extend the lead back to 60-50 with 9:34 left. Yet the Bruins fought on. Threepointers from Dansby and Wicke trimmed the margin to four, 62-58, with 7:54 left. The back-and-forth action and corresponding crowd support was truly befitting postseason play. However, after Wicke nearly came away with a steal late in the shot clock, Pigram recovered and buried an off-balance three-pointer to put ETSU back up seven. Then after an empty Belmont trip, Isiah Brown converted a conventional three-point play off a Tiggs feed to put the Bucs up 10, 68-58, with 6:53 to go. But the Bruin seniors had far too much pride to pack it in. Two more Dansby triples sandwiched around a Wicke basket got the Bruins within 72-70 - their closest since 24-22 - with 3:01 left. With Belmont mixing in matchup zone defense, ETSU turned to Tiggs, who scored along the baseline to make it 74-70 with 2:35 left. After a Dansby baseline three-pointer rimmed off, Hubbard made one free throw to increase the lead to five. Belmont then freed Belcher for a clean threepoint look, but like Dansby's moments earlier, it just rimmed off. Pigram and Mike Smith combined for six free throws to cap a 9-0 ETSU run to give the Bucs an 8170 lead with 1:08 left.

EVANSVILLE, IND. - - Behind 29 points from Alex Renfroe, a career-high 15 points from freshman Jonny Rice, and a season-high 17 three-point field goals, Belmont Basketball defeated Evansville Wednesday night, 92-76, in the first round of the inaugural CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament. The game marked Belmont's fifth postseason appearance in the last six years. Yet, victory at the seasoned and tough-minded Purple Aces shaped up to be a tall order as Evansville entered the night with a 15-3 home record. It was advertised as a meeting between two of the most electrifying offensive players at the mid major level - Belmont's Alex Renfroe and Evansville's Shy Ely. And each player more than lived up to advanced billing. In fact, Ely scored five straight baskets in the first 3:41 of the game to give the hosts an early two point lead. Trailing 12-11, and with Andy Wicke and sophomore Jon House in early foul trouble, the Bruins received one of top performances of the season off the bench in the form of Rice. Eight quick points from Rice highlighted a 22-4 Bruin run as Belmont seized a 33-16 lead midway through the first half. Rice's energy and shooting touch proved contagious, as Matthew Dotson and Keaton Belcher followed suit from long range before an awestruck Evansville crowd. Despite seeing his team strapped in foul trouble - Evansville worked its way into the bonus eight minutes into the half - Belmont head coach Rick Byrd went deep into his bench and found production at every turn. When Renfroe found Mike Dejworek for a transition layin, the Bruin lead swelled to 21, 44-23, with 4:52 in the half. After Evansville answered with a 9-0 run, Rice drilled a stepback baseline jumper while being fouled to stem the tide. A Renfroe trey sent Belmont to the locker room up 14, 49-35. Two quick triples from Dotson and Renfroe to open the second half extended the Bruin lead to 17, 55-38, with 18:05 left, before Evansville made its biggest push of the night. Again working its way into the bonus less than eight minutes into the half, the Purple Aces rode Ely on a 13-3 run to get within 58-51 with 10:39 remaining. With the vocal Roberts Stadium crowd imploring Evansville to carry on, Belmont stayed tough. A pick-and-pop threepointer from Dotson and a short jumper from Shane Dansby stretched Belmont's lead back to 12, 63-51, with 9:31 to go. Evansville would get within eight once more, but the combination of tough defensive rebounding by Mick Hedgepeth and dead-eye Bruin shooting sealed the deal. Rice, Dotson, and Renfroe each made three-pointers in a two minute span to carry Belmont to a 78-63 lead with 3:21 to go. All told, Belmont shot 53 percent (31-for59) from the field - including a season-best 17-for-35 from three-point distance. The Bruins' 92 points tied a seasonhigh (at Florida Gulf Coast Jan. 31, and the team recorded 23 assists on its 31 made field goals. Renfroe was sensational, with 29 points - the most against Evansville this season - nine rebounds and five assists. Rice had a careerhigh 15 points, while Dotson added 14. Dansby also went over 1,000 career points with his 13 on the night.

NORFOLK, VA - - Old Dominion rallied to defeat Belmont in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament Quarterfinals, 70-62, Monday night. Atlantic Sun Player of the Year Alex Renfroe picked up his second personal foul at the 16:33 mark of the first half, forcing him to the bench. Shane Dansby strung together three straight three-pointers to lift Belmont to a 24-18 edge. Two free throws right before intermission by Renfroe carried the Bruins into the locker room up four, 34-30. Four interiors baskets quickly out of the locker room helped Old Dominion score eight of the first 10 points of the second half. But following a Rick Byrd timeout, Belmont settled in a reestablished itself. Renfroe and Mick Hedgepeth combined for nine points during a 12-0 Belmont run that lifted the Bruins to their largest lead of 10, 48-38, with 14:!3 to go. Yet after forcing the Monarchs to the perimeter and swarming the ODU post game, Belmont watched Old Dominion catch fire. After missing its first 11 three-point attempts, Old Dominion got consecutive three-pointers from Darius James to slice the Belmont lead to 48-44 with 13:20 left. Keaton Belcher answered for Belmont with a three-pointer over the Monarch zone to extend the margin back to seven, 51-44, with 12:07 left. From there, the Bruins went ice cold. Despite clean looks against the Old Dominion zone, Belmont made just one field goal over the next six and a half minutes. That set the stage for a familiar face to steal the show. Monarch reserve Jonathan Adams - a swingman from the Baylor School in Chattanooga who played AAU ball with several of Belmont's upperclassmen - sank a three-pointer to give Old Dominion a 55-54 lead with 6:51 left. Following a Kent Bazemore layin, Wicke sank a deep three-pointer in transition off a nice Renfroe feed to tie the score at 57 with 4:37 remaining. One free throw from Jon House gave Belmont a 58-57 edge with 3:45 to go - unfortunately, the team's final lead of the game. Adams answered with a contested pullup jumper - and after a Dansby missed baseline three-pointer - and a trey to give the Monarchs a 62-58 lead with 2:54 left. Dotson then missed a clean look on Belmont's next possession. Following a rare Adams misfire, Ben Finney saved an offensive rebound on the baseline. James and Renfroe battled for the loose ball in front of the press table before Frank Hassell found Lee for an uncontested layin, giving the Monarchs a 64-58 lead with 2:00 left. Hedgepeth replied with a confident - albeit unexpected - baseline three-pointer to cut the margin in half, 64-61, with 1:36 left. But in need of a defensive stop, the Bruins watched in horror as Adams - a 27 percent three-point shooter on the season - buried his third triple at the end of the shot clock, lifting Old Dominion to a 67-61 lead with 1:03 to go. After one Hedgepeth free throw, Adams missed the front end of an ODU one-and-one to give the Bruins' new life. But Dotson missed a three-point attempt and Dansby's offensive rebound tip-in attempt rimmed out. Adams made one free throw with 22 seconds to go to extend the Monarch lead to six. A Belmont giveaway and two Finney free throws ended the scoring - what proved to be Old Dominion's largest lead of the game.

COLUMBIA, Mo. - Belmont Basketball scored the biggest victory in program history, knocking off perennial Big 12 power and 22nd-ranked Missouri, 71-67, Tuesday night. Belmont scored the first five points out of halftime, extending their first hald spurt to 17-3 and seizing a five point edge. The Bruins hit five of their 13 three-pointers during the run. After surrendering the lead 16 seconds into the second half, Missouri led under three minutes of the second half as BU executed flawlessly.

A Ricky Paulding three-pointer with 13 seconds remaining got the Tigers within 69-67. Missouri proceeded to foul Drabyn, one of the top free throw shooters in the country. Surprisingly, Drabyn missed the front end of a one-and-one, but Mark snared the offensive rebound and passed the ball back to Drabyn. He was fouled again, and would make both free throws in the final seconds to seal the outcome. It was the Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first victory over a Top-25 opponent in its sixth try. Belmont improved to 6-3, capping a glorious non-conference season. Missouri would have five members of its roster go on to play in the NBA.

JOHNSON CITY, TENN. - - Belmont and Lipscomb had waged many epic basketball battles, but the 113th installment of their storied rivalry had the largest stakes imaginable. With an Atlantic Sun Championship and an NCAA Tournament berth on the table, the Bruins used courageous defense and the determined scoring of an unflappable sophomore to claim the tastiest pot in school history. Justin Hare's career-high 32 points spearheaded the Bruins' come-from-behind, 74-69 overtime victory over Lipscomb and cemented Belmont's place in March Madness.

Following two Hare free throws with seven seconds in the half, Daniels sank a three-pointer as time expired to square the score at 31-31. While Daniels' 11 points led the Bisons, Belmont held All Atlantic Sun performer Brian Fisk scoreless in the first twenty minutes.

Meanwhile, Belmont was an efficient 10-for-20 from the floor in the first half, though starting center Boomer Herndon went without a field goal (0-for-4). Lipscomb made an inspired push to open the second half. A baseline jumper from Eddie Ard gave LU a 39-34 edge two minutes into the half.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Officials: Pat Adams, Antinio Petty, Tracy Woodson Technical fouls: Belmont-None. Lipscomb-None.

Having ridden stellar perimeter shooting in victories over Campbell and Stetson to reach the final, Belmont used Lipscomb's hawking denial defense to its benefit by driving to the basket early on. Two point blank buckets from senior co-captain Brian Collins and a timely lay-in from senior co-captain Dan Oliver got the Bruins off to an 8-2 lead. Lipscomb responded with a slam from Shaun Durant, but Belmont's switching of man-and-zone defense clearly slowed the Bisons' athletic perimeter players. Meanwhile, the Bruins continued to attack the rack. Two free throws from junior Andrew Preston and a jumper from Hare widened the Belmont bulge to ten, 16-6, just over six minutes in. But the Bisons responded in kind; a lay-in from Alabama transfer LaKory Daniels capped a 12-2 Lipscomb spurt and nodded the score at 18 midway through the half. In keeping with their two intense meetings this season, the teams were exerting tremendous effort on each and every possession. Though Lipscomb's defense began to stifle the Bruins' rhythm, Belmont was able to keep the top-seed at arm's length. The lead oscillated from one to four points for the remainder of the half, with Belmont riding solid play from Collins, Hare, and Preston.

But gutsy interior play from Preston on both ends and a quick five points from junior Josh Goodwin sparked a 9-2 Bruin run and saw BU regain the lead, 43-41, with 13:51 to go. However, with Herndon struggling to find his range down low and clean three-point look scant, Lipscomb regained control. Daniels and Ard sparked Lipscomb to a 53-47 advantage with 6:34 left, and the Bruins were sternly confronted with their basketball mortality. With urging from the Bruin support section, Belmont's seasoned guards led the comeback effort. After three free throws from Goodwin, a Collins backtap steal to Hare and lay-in pulled BU within one, 53-52, with 6:05 remaining. Then after one free throw from Preston, Hare weaved through the Bisons' defense and finished with a left hand to put Belmont ahead 55-53 at the 3:59 mark. Two Fisk free throws tied the score once again, and the respective defenses hunkered down.

BRUIN FLASHBACK

Neither team could muster points until traditional Bruin-killer James Poindexter buried a baseline three-pointer with 29 seconds to go to give LU a 58-55 lead. In need of a season-saving play, Hare delivered. He drove down the right side of the lane and banked home an off-balance shot over a fouling Fisk. The conventional three-point play tied the score at 58 with 20 seconds left. Fisk missed a jumper with time winding down and the contest fittingly went to overtime. Unlike their earlier 97-85 overtime loss at Lipscomb - the Bruins stormed out of the gates in the extra five minutes and would never trail A short banker from Herndon and a drive from Hare gave BU a 62-58 edge with 3:59 to go, and the Bruin faithful started to smell victory. But a lay-in from Durant and two Trey Williams free throws once again nodded the score at 62. Moments after the free throws, Belmont raced into a designed play and it reaped dividends. A backdoor feed from Wicke to Hare put the Bruins ahead, 64-62, with 3:03 left. Then after a missed Williams jump shot against the Belmont zone, Collins skied and tipped home a Preston turnaround to give Belmont a 66-62 edge with 1:52 to go. Following one Williams free throw, Hare returned the favor a dropped a backdoor bounce pass to Wicke for two and the Bruins suddenly enjoyed a 68-63 cushion. A Poindexter three-pointer trimmed the margin to two, but Hare would not let the Bruins' season end in Johnson City. The 6-3 guard calmly sank six consecutive free throws in the final 41 seconds to send Belmont into delirium. Hare - who opened the campaign with a 9-for-10, 30 point outburst against Wright State - simply saved his best for last. His career-high 32 points came on 10-for-15 shooting from the floor, and 9-for-9 from the free throw line. With a steely look in his eye and ice water in his veins, Hare provided one of the greatest single-game performances in Belmont and Atlantic Sun Conference history. Collins, Goodwin, and Preston each scored 10 points. The Bruins, who led the Atlantic Sun and ranked third nationally in field goal percentage entering the day - shot an exemplary 50 percent from the floor (25-for-50) against the highly-regarded Bisons' defense. Moreover, they won despite a season-low four three-pointers (4-for-12). Ard led Lipscomb (21-10, 15-5) with 19 points.

NAIA ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

During 15 years of NAIA competition, Byrd posted a 367-152 record including a 197-40 mark in conference play. “You could say it’s way overdue,” said Don Meyer, a former coach a Lipscomb University who competed against Byrd for 13 seasons and is also an NAIA Hall of Famer. “He was probably the best coach we ever played against on special situations and late-game situations.”

THE FIRST NCAA D-I TEAM

With a group of five freshmen and just one returner, the 1996-97 Belmont Bruins tackled their first season as a Division I provisional member. Belmont went on to post their 10th consecutive winning season, finishing the year 15-11 overall. The core group of freshmen also made up key components of the 1998-99 squad that went 14-13, earning a winning record in only their second season of full Division I play. Three of those players (Jeremy Kees, Ryan Steger and Dougie Webb) would go on to score 1,000 career points.

POSTSEASON CIT 2009

In his final three seasons, Behling became the only Belmont player to be a three-time NAIA All-American, earning that honor in 1988, 1989 and 1990. He was named the NAIA's Player of the Year after leading Belmont to its first NAIA national tournament appearance and shattering the school's single season scoring record by pouring in 1071 points in 1989. He finished his career as Belmont's all-time leading scorer with a nearly unreachable 2823 points in just three years of regular playing time.

NCAA TOURNAMENT 2006, 2007, 2008

"If anyone is an NAIA Hall of Famer, Joe Behling is," said Byrd. "He is the most significant player in Belmont basketball history, and it is really nice to see good guys rewarded for hard work. Being inducted into a national Hall of Fame is a tremendous honor."

POSTSEASON NIT 2004

NAIA HALL of FAME In the last few years, a pair of Belmont’s most recognizable basketball figures have been selected to the NAIA Hall of Fame. In March of 2003, all-time leading scorer Joe Behling was inducted to the select group and the following March, head coach Rick Byrd joined his protege in the NAIA Hall of Fame.

ROBERT BARNES • #15

JOE BEHLING • #54

1953-1956

1986-1990

Belmont retired #15 in honor of Robert Barnes on February 20, 1993. One of the first dominant presences in program history, Barnes ranks third on Belmont’s all-time scoring list with 2,305 career points. He holds the school record for career scoring average (28.1), career free throws made (741) and free throws

made

season

(301).

Moreover, his 301 free throws in 1955 led the nation. Also a tremendous rebounder, Barnes is second on the Belmont career rebounding average list (13.7). Barnes was the first Volunteer State Athletic Conference Player of the Year and was an NCAA honorable mention All-America selec-

in 1956. He ranked fourth nationally in scoring as a sophomore 150 tion and sixth nationally as a junior.

REITIRED JERSEYS/HALL OF FAME

Belmont retired #54 in honor of Joe Behling on April 19, 1990. Joe Behling began his Belmont career inconspicuously as a walk-on from Hillwood High School where he played one year of basketball. After redshirting his first season and seeing action in only nine games as a freshman, there was no way to anticipate the legacy he would leave. He is the only Belmont player to be a three-time NAIA All-American, earning that honor in 1988, 1989, and 1990. He was named the NAIA's Player of the Year after leading Belmont to its first NAIA national tournament appearance and shattering the school's single season scoring record by pouring in 1071 points in 1989. Behling would finish his career as Belmont's all-time leading scorer with a remarkable 2,823 points in just three years of regular playing time. His 31.5 points per game average and 58 point effort against archrival David Lipscomb on March 4, 1989 are two records likely to stand in the annals of BU Basketball. In all, Behling is currently in the top-10 in 18 different single season and career records. In April of 1990, he became only the second player in Belmont history to have his number retired and later that year, was named Tennessee's Amateur Athlete of the Year. Following his graduation in 1990 with a B.S. in Exercise Science, Behling played professionally in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Mont de Marsan, France before returning home for a stint with Grand Rapids of the CBA when a knee injury ended his pro career. In March of 2003, Behling became the first Belmont athlete ever to be inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame.

ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME Nearly half of the 66 members of the Belmont Athletic Hall of Fame have been a part of the basketball’s program. From the first star, Robert Barnes, who was inducted in 1980 to 2008 inductee Temp Sparkman, nearly four generations of Belmont basketball players are represented. Belmont Basketball Alumni in the Hall of Fame Casey Alexander (2005), Al Allen (2007), Dale Alsup (1999), Marlin Alsup (1989), Ron Bargatze (1984), Robert Barnes (1980), Joe Behling (1999), Jerry Bell (1992), Rick Byrd (1996), Scott Corley (2000), Joe Gaines (1989), Eddie Greer (1985), Warren Johnson, Sr. (1990), Norman Kalkoff (1992), Gary McDonald (1992), Charlie Meisel, Jr. (1987), Bill Moore (1993), Ricardo Patton (1991), Eddie Scott (1982), Ronnie Sharer (1991), Temp Sparkman (2008), Scott Speedy (2000), Ron Spurlock (1995), Larry Striplin (1980), Jerry Sullivan (1995), Greg Thurman (2001), Jerry Vrandenburg (1986), Kerry West (2003).

MIKE STRICKLAND DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

For five decades, Betty Wiseman has been an active figure at Belmont University. As a student, coach, and professor, Wiseman has been a great ambassador for the University and the Department of Athletics. As Assistant Athletic Director/Senior Woman Administrator, Wiseman advises the athletic department on the status of women's sports and conducts administrative tasks in relation to all sports. She serves as liaison between Athletics and Student Affairs, coordinates counseling, discipline, and all random drug-testing for athletes, and serves as advisor to Belmont's StudentAthletes Advisory Committee. In addition, she works with teams as they participate in service opportunities throughout the year, including organizing and leading a yearly foreign mission trip with athletes to do Sports Evangelism overseas. Countries served through these trips include Poland, Portugal, Costa Rica, Brazil, Venezuela, and Ukraine. In May 2009 she led a team to Cape Town, South Africa. Wiseman also serves on many committees and boards. In 2008 she completed a four-year term as one of the Atlantic Sun Conference's representatives on the NCAA Management Council. The Management Council serves as the main legislative body for Division I sports. She has been a member of many Atlantic Sun Conference committees. After graduating from Belmont in 1965, the Portland, Tennessee native was named as Associate Professor of Health and Physical Education in 1966 and began a teaching career of 40 years. She was named Professor Emeritus in the Department of

Health and Human Performance in 2006 where she served as Chair for six years. In 1968 the former high school basketball standout began a new career as a women's sports trailblazer when she founded the women's basketball program at Belmont, one of the first programs, not only in the state, but in the southeast. Wiseman was the head women's basketball coach at Belmont for 16 seasons, compiling a 248-152 record. She led Belmont to four consecutive berths in the National Women's Invitational Tournament from 1973-1977. In those tournaments, her teams knocked off such programs as Alabama, Nebraska, and North Carolina. She was inducted into the Belmont Athletics Hall of Fame in 1981. Wiseman has been honored by several organizations for her contributions to collegiate athletics. In 1999 she was given the Josten-Berenson Service Award by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association during the NCAA Women's Final Four in San Jose, California to recognize her lifelong commitment to women's basketball. In 2003 Belmont honored her by naming part of the university's new athletic facility the Striplin-Wiseman Athletic Office Complex. Finally, in 2004, Wiseman was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame for her contributions to promoting women's basketball in the state. She is the first Belmont coach or athlete to be so honored. In July 2007 she was featured in an article on the front page of The Tennessean, as a Tennessee Sports Legend. She is a member of Brentwood Baptist Church where she serves as Trustee, is a member of the adult choir, serves as a substitute teacher in Sunday School, and is an active missions volunteer.

ber of the conference's membership committee. As well as the program's success on the field, his tenure has seen the building of the exquisite Curb Event Center. The $52 million facility, which opened in the fall of 2003, has become the centerpiece of the athletics program. The complex houses a new 5,000-seat arena for basketball and volleyball, locker rooms for all sports, a training facility and weight room, as well as administrative offices for the Athletic Department. Off the field, the athletic department has made academic achievement the cornerstone of its definition of success. Belmont has won the Atlantic Sun Academic Trophy seven of the past eight years. The Bruins boasted over two-thirds of their student athletes with a grade-point average of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale during the past academic year. Belmont is the only school to win the trophy five straight times (2002-2006). Also of significance, Belmont has earned distinction from the NCAA in each of their Academic Progress Rate (APR) reports. Strickland brings varied years of experience to the program, including nine years as athletics director at Murray State University prior to coming to Belmont. While at Murray State, Strickland served on numerous Ohio Valley Conference committees as well as serving on the NCAA IAA football advisory committee and the NCAA rifle committee. Prior to serving at Murray State, Strickland was an Associate Athletics Director at Wichita State University from 1983-87, where he was responsible for all business operations for the department. Strickland earned his bachelor's degree in political science from Georgia Southern University and a master's degree in public administration from the University of Georgia. In June of 2009, Strickland received the Under Armour National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Division I Southeast Region A.D. of the Year Award. Strickland was honored at the annual NACDA convention in Orlando, Fla. Strickland is married to the former Martha Thomas, an English instructor at Nashville State Community College. The couple has two children - Leanna Elizabeth, an undergraduate student at the University of Tennessee, and Sara Grace, a Belmont University graduate who is married to Jared Vaughn - and one grandchild, Jacob.

POSTSEASON NIT 2004

Now entering his 14th year as Director of Athletics, Mike Strickland has led Belmont's Department of Athletics through its infancy stages as a new NCAA Division I program to become one that sees annual success on the field and in the classroom. During his tenure at Belmont, the program has expanded the number of teams it fields, joined the Atlantic Sun Conference, enhanced its facilities, and established a reputation producing winning teams and distinguished student-athletes. Since arriving in Nashville in 1996, Strickland has overseen the inception of six new sports at Belmont: women's soccer, women's golf and men's and women's indoor and outdoor track and field. In addition, the University has built the Frances Bond Davis Tennis Courts and the Whitten Soccer Complex, as well the most recent partnership with Metro Parks for athletic fields at Rose Park. This exciting new venture will house Belmont baseball, softball, soccer, and track & field. Two of the most important achievements of his tenure at Belmont are the acceptance of Belmont into the Atlantic Sun Conference and the opening of the Curb Event Center. During his tenure, Strickland has overseen a program expansion from 11 to 17 teams of competition, spearheaded membership into the Atlantic Sun Conference, spurred athletic facility enhancement and forged a reputation of producing winning teams and distinguished student-athletes. In 2008, Belmont became the first school in Atlantic Sun Conference history to represent the league in three consecutive NCAA Men's Basketball Championships. Adding conference championships in women's cross country, women's soccer and volleyball during the past academic year, Belmont Athletics has won a staggering 26 Atlantic Sun Conference Championships since becoming a member institution in 2001-02 - far and away the league standard. In addition, the school has hosted nine conference championships over the past five years, most recently the 2006 A-Sun Volleyball Championship. Strickland has taken a leadership role in the A-Sun serving as chairman of the tournament committee and presently serves as a mem-
