KEVIN McCLAIN

Voice of the Bruins

Kevin Ingram on Kevin McClain:

“Should be a terrific senior season for Kevin. Wait, what? A senior? Seems like he just got to Belmont! Number 11 has improved in every area of his game during his time with the Bruins. He really played well in big spots, including the OVC championship game."

Coach Byrd on Kevin McClain: “Kevin benefitted greatly from his move to the wing position from the point guard position. He is an outstanding defender, often matching up with the opposition's best perimeter player. Kevin is a great teammate, very respected by all on our team for his work ethic and unselfishness. Kevin committed himself to improve his game during the off season and our staff is confident that he is headed for a great senior season.”

Kevin Ingram on Dylan Windler:

Coach Byrd on Dylan Windler:

“Dylan has as complete a package as anyone who has played before him at Belmont. He has great perimeter skills for a player who is 6-8 in a Belmont uniform, Dylan can do it all. The 36/20 game was beginning with great range from beyond the arc. He can drive and one of the great performances in the history of the program. finish or find a teammate for an open shot. He rebounds the ball on Should set up for a big senior year, with more well-deserved both ends of the floor and is an effective defender who might be called on to guard anyone from the point guard to a post player.” honors.

COACHING STAFF

HEAD COACH RICK BYRD 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. Under Byrd, Belmont has received postseason tournament invitations in 12 of the last 13 seasons, including seven automatic berths to the NCAA Tournament. All told, Belmont has won 16 conference championships (nine regular season, seven tournament) since 2006 - only Kansas and Gonzaga have won more over that span. Unquestionably, Byrd has built a program with staying power. Belmont is one of only six NCAA Division I programs outside the Power 5 to post Top 100 RPIs eight consecutive seasons (BYU, Gonzaga, Saint Mary's (CA), San Diego State, Wichita State), posting National Top 25 poll votes seven of those campaigns. Since 2003, no program in America has more conference victories than the Bruins; Belmont and Kansas share top billing with 251 league wins. In addition, Belmont is one of only nine NCAA Division I programs to win 19 or more games 13 consecutive seasons (BYU, Duke, Gonzaga, Kansas, Louisville, Michigan State, North Carolina, San Diego State). The Bruins have victories over the likes of North Carolina, Stanford, Marquette, Georgia, Vanderbilt, Alabama, Cincinnati, Butler and Missouri, among others, to its credit. Byrd ranks fifth among all active NCAA Division I head coaches - and 15th alltime - in career victories with 778, and stands first among all active non-Power 5 coaches. Only three head coaches in the nation have been at their respective institutions longer than Byrd's 33 years of service at Belmont. Under Byrd's guidance, the Bruins have won 298 games and posted a remarkable 209-48 (.813) record in conference games over the past 12 years. Moreover, Belmont is 193-42 (.821) over the last eight seasons in games outside the Power 5. Byrd is first among all active NCAA Division I men’s basketball head coaches (min. 10 years at school) when ranked by percentage of schools’ all-time wins; having accounted for nearly two-thirds of the total victories in Belmont history.

2017-18 was the latest in a string of highly-successful and memorable seasons for Byrd and the Belmont program. The Bruins went 24-9, the 13th consecutive season Belmont placed first or second in the regular season conference standings. Belmont defeated the likes of Vanderbilt, Middle Tennessee and Western Kentucky en route to a fifth multi-team event (MTE) tournament title in as many tries. Belmont led the nation in 2-point field goal percentage for the fifth time in the last six seasons. Junior Dylan Windler was named Academic All-America, Mid-Major All-America and NCAA.com National Player of the Week, while Windler, Amanze Egekeze and Austin Luke each garnered First Team All-OVC honors. Luke graduated second in assists in Ohio Valley Conference history (681), and he and Egekeze represented the OVC at the inaugural 3x3 National Championship at the 2018 Final Four in San Antonio. The duo went on to sign professional playing contracts. In 2016-17, Belmont went 23-7, 15-1 in OVC play - among the nation's top conference marks. During the year, Belmont won an NCAA-best 10 consecutive true road

HEAD COACH RICK BYRD games and tied the program's NCAA Division I standard of 14 consecutive victories. The Bruins claimed a ninth regular season conference championship in 12 years and defeated Georgia in the 2017 Postseason NIT. The Bruins were showered with postseason honors, with Byrd garnering conference Coach of the Year honors. Senior forward Evan Bradds became the first Belmont student-athlete in any sport named AP All-American and conference Player of the Year in successive seasons. Despite playing 20 of 32 games away from home, 2015-16 marked the fourth time in as many years Belmont claimed an OVC Championship.

With Belmont's victory over Indiana State November 14, 2014, Byrd passed legendary UCLA head coach John Wooden in career victories. On the heels of a record-breaking campaigns in 2011 and 2012, Belmont lived up to advanced billing in 2013, new life in a new league, and again delivered championship form. After winning nine games against the No. 2 non-conference strength of schedule in the nation, Belmont won the OVC regular season title - the program's sixth regular season title in eight years. Byrd then directed the Bruins to victories over Tennessee State and Murray State in the conference tournament to again cut down the nets and send Belmont to a third straight NCAA Tournament.

Bradds and Craig Bradshaw were extended many awards, with the duo earning AllAmerica and CoSIDA Academic All-America honors.

Belmont received national poll votes eight times in 2012-13, including the final ESPN/USA Today Top 25 Coaches' poll. And the Bruins' final RPI of 24 was the highest in program history.

2014-15 was the another memorable chapter in a story of sustained excellence for Belmont Basketball. With youth for miles and seven newcomers, Byrd directed Belmont to the OVC East Division Championship. But it was three stirring victories in as many days, capped by the Bruins' 88-87 win over Murray State in the OVC Championship that sent Belmont to yet another NCAA Tournament.

In 2012, Byrd received the NCAA Bob Frederick Award for his lifelong commitment to sportsmanship, ethical conduct, and fair play. Moreover, he received induction into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame and the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame.

Craig Bradshaw, Taylor Barnette and Evan Bradds would earn conference and regional honors. With a victory Jan. 5, 2011 at Stetson, he also joined Mike Krzyzweski, Jim Boeheim and Greg Kampe, as active Division I head coaches with 500 or more victories at his current school. In 2013-14, after losing arguably the greatest backcourt in program history - NBA Champion guard Ian Clark and two-time conference tournament MVP Kerron Johnson - the Bruins were pegged for a transition season. But behind Byrd's leadership and the play of OVC Player of the Year J.J. Mann, Belmont defeated six-time National Champion North Carolina, reached the quarterfinal round of the Postseason NIT, and finished with a final record of 26-10. In fact from 2011-14, Belmont was one of only six NCAA Division I men's basketball programs to win 26 or more games, joining the select company of Duke, Florida, Syracuse, VCU, and Wichita State. In addition, Belmont joined an exclusive fraternity of programs to win five straight regular season conference championships. Since the Bruins became an NCAA Division I member institution in 1996-97, only Belmont, Butler, Cincinnati, Duke, Gonzaga, Harvard, Kansas, Nevada and Xavier have won five straight conference regular season championships. Named OVC Coach of the Year for a second consecutive season and finalist for the Hugh Durham National Coach of the Year Award for a third time in four seasons, Byrd has been named District or Conference Coach of the Year on 13 occasions.

In 2011-12, after winning the EA Sports Maui Invitational Regional Games title in the non-conference, the Bruins earned an outright Atlantic Sun Conference regular season championship - the program's fifth regular season title in seven years. Byrd then directed the Bruins to three straight victories in the conference tournament to again cut down the nets and send Belmont to a fifth NCAA Tournament. In 2010-11, Byrd led Belmont Basketball to a fourth Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament title and fourth NCAA Tournament automatic berth in the last six years. Belmont became the first program in the nation to reach 30 victories this past season and received national poll votes for nine consecutive weeks from Jan. 17 to Mar. 14. The Bruins were also ranked as high as No. 2 in the CollegeInsider.com Mid Major Top 25 poll, earning a program-best No. 6 final ranking. Belmont led the Atlantic Sun Conference in 12 statistical categories, ranked in the Top 50 nationally in 11 categories, and ended the year ranked No. 18 by Basketball State and No. 19 by Ken Pomeroy. Following the historic 30-5 campaign, Byrd earned a number of postseason honors, including being named Hugh Durham National Coach of the Year, NABC District 3 Coach of the Year, TSWA Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College Basketball Coach of the Year, and Atlantic Sun Conference Coach of the Year. He was also a finalist for the Clair Bee National Coach of the Year Award, the Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year Award, and the Skip Prosser Man of the Year Award. Byrd, who has roamed the sidelines for more than three decades, turned in one of his finest coaching jobs in 2009-10. After losing the core nucleus of three consecutive NCAA Tournament teams and welcoming eight newcomers, Byrd directed the Bruins to a share of their third Atlantic Sun Conference regular season championship in five years.

HEAD COACH RICK BYRD Byrd 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 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. The lightning quick floor general Alex Renfroe became the second Bruin to earn All-America honors from the Associated Press. Renfroe was also named AllDistrict 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 200708. In fact, Belmont was 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 single-season program record for wins and its fourth 20-win season in five years. The remarkable season included marquee nonconference 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 13game 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 four-time national champion Duke. A prohibitive underdog as a No. 15 seed in the West Region, Belmont stood toe-totoe 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.' Justin Hare was named First Team All-Atlantic 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 AllAtlantic Sun. Matthew Dotson also was named to the All-Tournament Team while Jordan Campbell became the latest Bruin to garner A-Sun All-Freshman honors.

Belmont ended 2007-08 ranked 11th in the final Mid Major poll on CollegeInsider.com. 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 ArkansasLittle 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 23-10 mark. The Bruins were ranked 25th in the final Mid Major poll on CollegeInsider.com. During the season, Byrd was also honored by CollegeInsider.com with a 'Coach of the Week' award. But of even greater significance to Byrd, Belmont has established an unparalleled standard of academic achievement among NCAA Division I programs. Since 2001, Belmont leads the nation in Academic All-America selections (16) and is one of only three programs (along with Davidson and Holy Cross) to rank among the nation’s best every year since inception of the Academic Progress Rate (APR) . Moreover, Belmont claimed the ‘Academic National Championship’ on InsiderHigherEd.com for the second time in three years and the Bruins joined Kansas and Texas as the only programs in the 2015 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship with perfect graduation rates and perfect APR scores. For 18 consecutive years, the Bruins have compiled a team G.P.A. of 3.0 or higher. During the Bruins' 11 year stay in the Atlantic Sun, Belmont paced the league with a whopping 97 players making the Atlantic Sun All-Academic honoree list - far and away the league standard. Justin Hare (‘08) carried the academic banner for the Bruins during his stellar career: Three-time Academic All-District, two-time Academic All-American by CoSida and two-time Division I-AAA Athletic Directors Association Academic Team. The APR classified Belmont men's basketball as one of the premier academic programs in the country, having recorded a perfect 1000 APR score eight straight years (single-year score). Captain Jeff Laidig represented Belmont at the 2016 Final Four in Houston as part of the Allstate NABC Good Works Team, the fourth time a Belmont student-athletes has been honored at college basketball's signature weekend. Bradds, 2015 captain Reece Chamberlain, Mick Hedgepeth ('12), and Andy Wicke (‘09) have been Belmont student-athletes honored as one of 10 finalists for the prestigious Senior CLASS Award. Wicke and Justin Hare received coveted NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships following their playing careers. And Mann was honored at the 2013 Final Four as part of the inaugural Allstate NABC Good Works Team.

HEAD COACH RICK BYRD Belmont University has received the prestigious conference Academic Trophy 14 of the last 16 years. Seven Atlantic Sun Male Student-Athletes of the Year were Belmont Basketball players, while four of the program's top five scorers (Evan Bradds, Wes Burtner, Justin Hare and Adam Mark) became Academic AllAmericans. Bruin standout Wes Burtner landed CollegeInsider.com's NCAA Student-Athlete of the Year award in 1998. 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. 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). 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. 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. Belmont also captured the A-Sun North Division title in 2002. Byrd received the NAIA National Coach of the Year award in 1994-95, after leading Belmont to a 37-2 record including a perfect 18-0 league mark en route to the Tennessee Collegiate Athletic Conference Championship. 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 his first 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 shaped 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 All-American 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 this past March 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 was a voter in the ESPN/USA Today Top 25 Coaches' Poll for the past decade, and is an outgoing member of the NCAA Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Basketball Rules Committee, serving as committee chairman from 2013-15.

HEAD COACH RICK BYRD Voice of the Bruins

Kevin Ingram on Coach Byrd:

“I have so much respect for Coach Byrd and the basketball program he has built. He takes great pride in encouraging his players and creating an environment where each individual’s strengths are maximized. Plus, he values the college experience, and wants his players to enjoy being part of and contributing to a campus community. Most people know him as the great coach, but trust me when I say, he is an even greater man. The way he treats people and his commitment to education, I would want my son to play for Coach Byrd."

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH BRIAN AYERS Brian Ayers (@coachbrianayers) begins his 21st season on the Bruins' coaching staff in 2018-19, and eighth as associate head coach. During Ayers' 20 seasons, Belmont has averaged 21 wins per season, including 25 wins per season over the last eight campaigns. 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. In fact, Belmont has led the nation in two-point field goal percentage five of the last six seasons, and has ranked Top 30 in that category 10 consecutive seasons. Among the top post coaches in America, Ayers has worked with two of the NCAA's all-time leaders in field goal percentage - Evan Bradds ('17) and Adam Mark ('04). Bradds, the first Belmont student-athlete to be named AP All-American and conference Player of the Year in consecutive years, finished his career fourth in NCAA career field goal percentage (.667), after leading the nation in that category in 2015 and 2016. He was also named NABC and USBWA All-District and MidMajor All-American. For his part, Mark ranks 16th in NCAA history in field goal percentage (.644), and like Bradds, led the nation in field goal percentage his sophomore and junior seasons. Mark's .708 field goal percentage as a sophomore was the fifth-highest singleseason field goal percentage in NCAA history. 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. Remarkably, Bradds and Mark are the last two NCAA Division I players to lead the nation in field goal percentage in consecutive seasons. Eight of Ayers' last nine all-conference post players have gone onto professional playing careers, including 2018 graduate Amanze Egekeze.

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. From 2010-12, Mick Hedgepeth and Scott Saunders ranked among the Atlantic Sun Conference leaders in field goal percentage, rebounding and blocked shots en route to all-conference honors. The post duo added to the Bruin tradition of efficiency in the paint, not to mention excellence in the classroom. Then in 2013, Ayers helped elevate the play of forward Trevor Noack, who scored double figures in 21 games and ranked among the OVC leaders in scoring, rebounding and field goal percentage. In 2014, Ayers expanded the games of seniors Drew Windler and Blake Jenkins - traditional wing players who gave consistent production in the paint and spearheaded another conference championship and 26-win campaign. Adam Sonn was named Atlantic Sun Player of the Year in 2003 before a lengthy career overseas. 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 threetime 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 `Twin Tower' 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. The long line of productive post players for Belmont will now be passed on to the likes of Mack Mercer, Seth Adelsperger, Nick Muszynski and Derek Sabin. 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

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH BRIAN AYERS 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. Brian and his wife Jill, a 1989 Belmont graduate, have four sons between them: Daniel, Taylor, Liam and Luke.

ASSISTANT COACH JAMES STRONG James Strong (@coachjstrong3) begins his eighth season as an assistant coach for Belmont Basketball in 2018-19. Upon arrival, Strong’s candor and no nonsense approach resonated with Belmont players, and evidence of his work with Bruin backcourt players, in particular, is undeniable. In short order, Strong has worked with five of the most productive and decorated players in program history: Ian Clark, Kerron Johnson, J.J. Mann, Craig Bradshaw and Austin Luke. In 2013, Clark and Johnson ranked among the top backcourts in America, leading the Bruins to a No. 24 final RPI and program-best No. 11 NCAA Tournament seed. Both Clark and Johnson earned conference, regional and national awards and are poised for lengthy professional careers. Strong’s daily shooting regimen with Clark pushed the Memphis native to new heights, as he ranked among the NCAA leaders in three-point field goal percentage and three-point field goals per game, en route to placement in the National Three-Point Championships at the 2013 Final Four. Clark carried that momentum into the Portsmouth Invitational senior showcase, NBA Summer League, and ultimately, placement on the Utah Jazz. He enters year six in the NBA with the New Orleans Pelicans, after winning an NBA Championship with the Golden State Warriors. Meanwhile, Johnson’s steely resolve and knack for clutch play propelled Belmont over Murray State in the 2013 OVC Championship game en route to a pro contract in the Australian Professional League. Johnson was named 2015 German Bundesliga All-Star for MHP Riesen Ludwigsburg. Meanwhile Mann, perhaps the most drastic improvement over a four-year period, willed himself to All-America and OVC Player of the Year honors, as he presently plays in Denmark. More recently, Strong continued the development of Craig Bradshaw, as the 2016 graduate blossomed into one of the nation’s best players. Named All-OVC for three times and an All-America and All-District selection, Bradshaw cemented his Mid-Major All-America status with a 25-point performance against ACC Champion Virginia in the NCAA Tournament. Fourth on Belmont's NCAA Division I era scoring list with 1,698 points, Bradshaw helped the Bruins to 94 victories, four consecutive postseason appearances, national Top 25 poll votes four straight seasons. The 6-3 guard scored in double figures in 87 of his final 97 games as a Bruin, includ-

ing a Belmont NCAA Division I era single-game record 42 points at Ohio (11/29/14). He begins year three playing professionally. Luke, a two-time First Team All-OVC selection, ranks second in OVC history in assists (681). In Strong’s first year at Belmont, Clark, Johnson, and Drew Hanlen were all named First Team All-Atlantic Sun; it is believed to be the first time that three guards from the same team in any conference have been named first team all-conference in the same year. Strong has made a tremendous impact for Belmont, as his contributions in everything from scouting reports and winning attitude to defense and guard development helped Belmont reach its fifth, sixth, and seventh NCAA Tournaments in the last 12 years. Moreover, during Strong’s time on the sidelines, the Bruins have gone 16864, won six consecutive conference championships, received national Top 25 poll votes seven out of eight campaigns, earned victories over North Carolina, Marquette, Stanford, Georgia, Vanderbilt, and nationally-ranked Murray State, posted the nation’s longest home court win streak and road win streak, and reached the quarterfinal round of the Postseason NIT. Strong also coordinates individual workouts for Belmont’s redshirt players, with current Bruins Mack Mercer, Michael Benkert, Seth Adelsperger, Nick Hopkins, Mick Muszynski, Grayson Murphy, Caleb Hollander, Tate Pierson and Michael Mayernick all benefitting from Strong's tutelage. Strong spent the previous five seasons as an assistant coach at Furman; he was named associate head coach prior to the 2010-11 season. “James’ experience as a player and coach, as well as his success as associate head coach at Furman allowed him to begin contributing immediately to all aspects of our program,” Coach Byrd said. “Our players have a great deal of respect for James. He has enhanced our basketball program on the floor and in recruiting. And, most importantly, he enhances Belmont University and our athletic department with the personal character that he brings to our campus. We are really glad to have him on board.” The Paladins completed one of their finest seasons in program history, posting a 2211 record and earning an invitation to the 2011 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament – the program’s first postseason appearance since 1991. Furman’s 22 victories marked the second-highest single-season win total in school history, and most in 30 years. Perhaps most notably, the Paladins defeated Southeastern Conference member, South Carolina, 91-75, and won at eventual Southern Conference Tournament champion, Wofford. Furman senior Amu Saaka

ASSISTANT COACH JAMES STRONG University. Strong was a four-year letterwinner for the Commodores on the hardwood (1997-2000), leading Vanderbilt to three postseason appearances. As a junior, Strong led the SEC and established a Vanderbilt single-season record in steals (77). He ranks fourth on the Commodores’ career steals list (209) and served as team captain as a senior. Belmont associate head coach Brian Ayers coached Strong at Vanderbilt during his freshman and sophomore seasons. The Huntsville, Ala. native then spent six seasons on Kevin Stallings’ coaching staff at Vanderbilt (2001-06), before heading to Furman. Strong earned a bachelor’s degree in human and organizational development from Vanderbilt in 2000. He and his wife, Tami, have two children: Kayla and JP.

BRUIN FLASHBACK - THE COMEBACK IN THE CREEK 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 3:21 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 comebacks 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 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 8277 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.

‘THE SHOT’ PART II

2017-18 GAME SUMMARIES November 10, 2017 Hec Edmundson Pavilion - - Seattle, Wash. Belmont Bruins 43 39 82 Washington Huskies 35 51 86

SEATTLE - - Belmont University men's basketball nearly took down another major conference program, but dropped an 86-82 decision at Washington Friday night. Belmont, which took down Marquette to open the campaign two seasons ago, returned to the Emerald City where eight years prior Bruin standouts Ian Clark and Kerron Johnson began their careers. The Bruins held Washington without a field goal for the first 5:03 of the game in building a 7-1 lead. A thunderous slam by Dylan Windler pushed the margin to 11-6 before the hosts got their footing. Behind Hopkins and Mack Mercer, Belmont scored nine of the final 13 points of the half in taking a 43-35 halftime lead. Another Hopkins' 3-pointer, and scores from Egekeze and Mercer - the latter of which fouled Dickerson out of the game - gave Belmont a 67-58 advantage. Austin Luke found Hopkins for a corner 3-pointer and a 70-61 Belmont lead with 5:39 left. That is when Jaylen Nowell almost single-handedly began a Washington push. Four quick points got the Huskies within 72-69 with 3:39 remaining. Then out of the under-four media timeout, following a Nowell missed free throw, Carlos Johnson scored an offensive rebound basket to close the margin to one. Luke and Johnson exchanged driving baskets, before a scramble play-second chance opportunity fell in the waiting hands of Nowell, who sank a deep 3pointer to give the Huskies a 76-74 lead with 2:24 remaining. McClain answered right back for Belmont, rimming home a baseline 3-pointer to put the Bruins back up one. But Nowell continued his offensive run, spinning and sinking a long, contested 2-pointer to give Washington a 78-77 edge with 1:38 to go. The next Bruin possession resulted in a lengthy official review, whereby Belmont regained possession and a fresh shot clock. Windler then delivered a tough baby hook inside to give the Bruins a 79-78 lead with 52 seconds left. Washington was unquestionably going to Nowell, who drove right and eluded two Bruin defenders to score at the rim with 32 seconds remaining. Trailing by one and with the shot clock essentially in sync with the game clock, Luke elected to race into the front court and attempt a quick-hitting 3-pointer. It rimmed off and Washington secured the rebound. David Crisp added two free throws with 22 seconds left to push the margin to 82-79. Belmont proceeded to execute a Coach Byrd play to perfection, freeing McClain for an easy two with 14 seconds remaining. Following a Belmont timeout, the Bruins pressed for a steal on the Washington inbounds play, but the Huskies maintained possession before being fouled. Nowell's two free throws with eight seconds left bumped the margin back to three. The Huskies called timeout and elected to foul before Belmont could attempt a game-tying 3-point shot. With four seconds left, Luke made the first of two free throws to close the margin to two. He proceeded to intentionally miss the second free throw in hopes of Belmont securing an offensive rebound and one final attempt to tie or win. Washington collected the rebound, and Matisse Thybulle's two free throws with three seconds left secured the result. It was a hard result to shoulder, as Belmont led for nearly 34 minutes of the game. All told, Belmont shot 49 percent (32-for-65) from the field - including 10-for-31 from 3-point distance.

November 13, 2017 Curb Event Center - - Nashville, Tenn. Vanderbilt Commodores 27 33 Belmont Bruins 32 37

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - - Belmont University men's basketball rode the strong play of Dylan

60 69

Windler and Amanze Egekeze to post a 69-60 victory over Vanderbilt Monday night at the Curb Event Center. An arena-record crowd of 5,266 witnessed Belmont's fourth victory over an SEC opponent, and second straight. It had been 5,106 days since the Bruins hosted a Power 5 conference

opponent, coincidentally the same Commodores who opened the Curb Event Center in November of 2003. Egekeze would score eight points during a run midway through the first half that gave Belmont a 16-13 lead. After consecutive Windler drives, Egekeze closed his exceptional first half in grand style, burying a baseline 3-pointer to send the Bruins to the locker room with a 32-27 halftime lead. Egekeze led Belmont with 18 first half points. Luke showcased more of his pinpoint passing, including a crosscourt assist to Windler for a 3-pointer to open the second half scoring. Vanderbilt closed within 37-34 on a Joe Toye basket, but a Windler backdoor layin and a Hopkins 3-pointer pushed the Bruin margin back to eight, 44-36, with 13:03 remaining. Lee closed the gap within five points on three separate occasions, but each time, Belmont has a stern reply. Consecutive driving baskets from junior Kevin McClain (Jennings, Fla.) and Luke increased the Bruin lead to 10, 60-50, with 2:19 left. Belmont closed the game out confidently, soaking in the cheers from the record-setting home crowd as the final seconds ticked away. All told, Belmont shot 41 percent (22-for-54) from the field. Belmont held the Commodores to 35 percent shooting and forced 15 turnovers. Windler posted his second consecutive double-double to open the season with 24 points and 11 rebounds. Egekeze added 22 points and seven rebounds.

2017-18 GAME SUMMARIES November 16, 2017 Murphy Center - - Murfreesboro, Tenn. Belmont Bruins 29 40 69 [rv/--] MTSU Blue Raiders 27 36 63

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - - Behind 24 points from Amanze Egekeze, Belmont University men's basketball defeated Middle Tennessee, 69-63, Thursday night. 72 hours after defeating Nashville neighbor Vanderbilt, Belmont remained hungry and purposeful against one of the nation's most talented teams in the Blue Raiders. Two early baskets from Mack Mercer, two treys from Egekeze, and a baseline 3-pointer from Kevin McClain powered Belmont to a 13-4 lead 4:27 in. Seth Adelsperger scored off a timely feed from Austin Luke to halt the Blue Raider momentum. Points proved hard to come by as both teams showcased strong, unified defense becoming teams with championship pedigrees. A twisting Luke layin sent the Bruins to the locker room up two, 29-27, at halftime. Belmont started the second half in determined fashion, as baskets from McClain, Windler, Egekeze and a conventional 3-point play from Mercer stretched the lead to 39-34 with 16:53 left. The Bruins had to withstand a rare perimeter foray from Middle Tennessee big man, Brandon Walters. The 6-10 center, who entered play with one career 3-point field goal attempt, sank a straight-on 3-pointer then rimmed out a heat check moments later. Two Egekeze triples around five points from Nick Hopkins extended the lead to 14, 50-36, with 13:13 remaining. Belmont was assertive and playing together on both ends, building a hard-earned lead. But in lightning-quick fashion, Middle Tennessee responded. Spirited play from David Simmons and Nick King began the comeback cause, and when Giddy Potts scored inside, the Blue Raiders closed within one, 52-51, with 9:14 left. A Potts 3-pointer and a Walters offensive rebound basket capped a 20-2 Middle Tennessee run over five minutes, and gave the hosts as 56-52 lead with 8:02 left. It was a jarring turn of events, as Belmont's commanding lead was gone. Yet as the partisan home crowd came to life and the Bruins took a standing 8-count, head coach Rick Byrd stabilized the proceedings with a trademark offensive play. A backdoor slam from Windler cut the margin in half, and served notice that Belmont wasn't going anywhere. Consecutive defensive stops and layins from McClain and Egekeze put the Bruins back on top with 6:51 left, a lead they would not relinquish. In fact, Belmont held Middle Tennessee scoreless for a four-plus minute stretch, punctuated by a laser-focused Egekeze 3-pointer with 2:35 left that gave the Bruins a 65-58 edge. Though Belmont endured two near misses on offense, strong defense forced a tough long distance delivery from King with under a minute to g0. A Windler rebound and two McClain free throws followed to make the score 67-61 with 39 seconds left Luke made two more free throws moments later to provide the final outcome. All told, Belmont shot 45 percent from the field (24-for-53) including 10-for-22 from 3-point distance. Belmont outrebounded Middle Tennessee, 36-32. In addition to Egekeze's 24, McClain added a career-high 14 points, while Windler posted his third consecutive double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Luke had 11 assists.

November 18, 2017 Curb Event Center - - Nashville, Tenn. HBU Huskies 33 55 88 Belmont Bruins 51 42 93

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - - Behind a career-high 27 points from Kevin McClain, Belmont University men's basketball defeated Houston Baptist, 93-88, Saturday in the 2K Classic Benefiting Wounded Warrior Project Nashville Subregional. Dylan Windler added 23 points, 14 rebounds and five assists for his fourth consecutive double-double to open the season. Belmont led 51-33 at halftime and

increased the lead to 69-42 with 15:02 left on a McClain driving layin. From there, the Bruins mysteriously endured a six-minute scoring drought, as open 3pointers rimmed out and enabled the visiting Huskies to work back into the game. Philip McKenzie capped a 21-0 Houston Baptist run to make the score 69-63 with 9:09 remaining. Windler then proceeded to bury a 3-pointer and McClain delivered a tip-in basket to push the margin back to 11, 74-63. Houston Baptist would tie the score at 75, but consecutive 3-pointers from Michael Benkert and McClain gave Belmont an 87-82 lead with 1:37 left. Windler made four consecutive free throws in the final 17 seconds to secure the outcome. Amanze Egekeze added 17 points, while Caleb Hollander scored 11.

2017-18 GAME SUMMARIES November 19, 2017 Curb Event Center - - Nashville, Tenn. Seattle Redhawks 36 41 77 Belmont Bruins 41 49 90

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - - Austin Luke scored a career-high 26 points to lead Belmont University men's basketball past Seattle, 90-77, Sunday afternoon in the championship game of the 2K Classic Benefiting Wounded Warrior Project Nashville Subregional. Luke, the nation's leading returning assist man, erupted for 8-for-10 3-point shooting as the Bruins completed an historic week of victories over Vanderbilt, Middle Tennessee, Houston Baptist and the visiting Redhawks. Belmont has won 93 of its last 99 home games. A 3-pointer from Amanze Egekeze and a driving basket from Kevin McClain gave Belmont a 20-14 lead midway through the first half. After Egekeze picked up his second personal foul, Jordan Hill capped a 10-0 Seattle run to give the visitors a 32-28 lead. But the Bruins closed the half strong, getting timely contributions off the bench from Michael Benkert, Tyler Hadden and Caleb Hollander to lead 41-36 at halftime. Belmont shot 56 percent (15-for-27) from the field in the opening 20 minutes - including 7-for-14 from 3-point distance. Egekeze led Belmont with 10 first half points. Baskets from Mack Mercer and McClain increased the margin to nine, 45-36, one minute into the second half. Seattle closed within 54-51 on a Josh Hearlihy basket, before Belmont responded with a series of game-changing plays. A blocked shot from Dylan Windler sparked a Bruin run-out and conventional 3-point play from McClain. After a defensive stop, Luke followed with a deep, end-of-shot-clock 3-pointer to stretch the margin to nine. Hadden capped the 9-0 Belmont run with a determined slam and conventional 3-point play. Two more Luke 3-pointers and a putback slam from Egekeze gave Belmont an 81-62 lead with 4:25 remaining. All told, Belmont shot 59 percent (32-for-54) from the field - including 14-for-27 from 3-point distance. Luke led four Bruins in double figures with his career-high 26 points. Egekeze added 19 points and six rebounds. McClain had 15, while Mercer added a season-high 11. Windler had 14 rebounds - his fifth straight double figure rebound total and and three blocked shots.

November 22, 2017 Dunkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Donuts Center - - Providence, R.I. Belmont Bruins 25 40 65 [rv/rv] Providence Friars 28 38 66

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - - Belmont University men's basketball had another signature victory ripped from its grasp, as Kyron Cartwright sank an off-balance 3-pointer at the buzzer to give Providence a 66-65 victory Wednesday night. In a game that featured 10 ties, 20 lead changes and neither team leading by more than five points, the Bruins and Friars - both receiving national Top 25 poll votes this week - delivered one of the most fiercely-contested and dramatic games of the young college basketball season. Providence led 28-25 at halftime. Windler hit back-to-back 3-pointers to open the second half as Belmont reclaimed a 31-30 lead with 17:16 left. With Belmont nursing some foul trouble, the Bruins got huge bench contributions from Burton Sampson, Michael Benkert and Nick Hopkins. The latter began his memorable second half with a deep 3-pointer to give the Bruins a 47-45 lead with nine minutes left. Two straight electric drives from McClain preserved a two-point advantage with 6:44 remaining. With each possession of the utmost importance and both teams playing with purpose and focus, it made for riveting theatre. The Bruins worked into the bonus, with two Hopkins makes pushing the lead to four, 55-51, with 4:42 left. Cartwright would make two straight short jumpers to square things, before Hopkins continued his impact with another wing 3-pointer. Diallo capped a 6-0 Friar run which gave the hosts a 61-58 lead with 1:58 to go. Following a Coach Byrd timeout, Windler broke free for a baseline slam to trim the margin to one. Then after forcing a Providence miss, the Bruins worked into the frontcourt and found Hopkins open in front of the Belmont bench. The freshman confidently drained another clutch 3-pointer to put Belmont ahead, 63-61, with 44 seconds left. After a Providence timeout, McClain was whistled for a personal foul fighting through a screen. Referees consulted momentarily, before designating Bullock as the Providence free throw shooter. He made both free throws to tie the score at 63 with 27 seconds left. With the shot clock off, Belmont calmly worked into the frontcourt and ran the Coach Byrd play call. Windler curled free and scored off a timely feed from Luke with 3.8 seconds left. Providence quickly inbounded, finding its All-America candidate Cartwright, who sped into the frontcourt and made a leaning 3-pointer just before the horn sounded. It was a gut-wrenching outcome, as Belmont had demonstrated its trademark toughness, poise and execution to gain another national road result.

2017-18 GAME SUMMARIES November 27, 2017 Curb Event Center - - Nashville, Tenn. Lipscomb Bisons 26 48 Belmont Bruins 26 40

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - - Belmont University men's basketball dropped a 74-66 decision to Lipscomb

74 66

Monday night from the Curb Event Center. Belmont had gone 2,152 days and two conferences between losses to the rival Bisons, having won 11 straight in the Battle of the Boulevard series. But following a 26-26 first half, Lipscomb made its first seven shots of the second half in building a

45-33 lead. Consecutive 3-pointers from Eli Pepper and Garrison Mathews extended the margin to 17, 53-36, with 12:19 remaining, before the Bruins finally found some offensive range. Amanze Egekeze capped a 12-1 run to get Belmont within 64-63 with 3:14 left. But with the boisterous Bruin student section ready to propel Belmont to the lead, Kenny Cooper came up with a timely steal and score to put Lipscomb ahead by three. Nick Hopkins trimmed the margin to 68-66 with 1:30 left. Lipscomb scored the final six points of the game. Dylan Windler led Belmont with 13 points and 11 rebounds, his sixth double-double of the season.

November 29, 2017 Schollmaier Arena - - Fort Worth, Texas Belmont Bruins 31 45 76 [23/rv] TCU Horned Frogs 42 45 87

FORT WORTH, Texas - - Belmont University men's basketball dropped an 87-76 decision at No. 23 TCU Wednesday night. TCU entered riding an NCAA-best 11-game win streak, showcasing depth and versatility of a Big 12 Conference contender. And the Bruins weathered an early storm from the host Horned Frogs, as TCU center Vladimir Brodziansky - who entered play with 29 career 3-point field goals - made three 3-pointers in the first 4:20 of the game as TCU built a nine point lead. The Bruins stabilized behind the strong play of Dylan Windler, who closed the margin to 19-14 eight minutes in. But as Belmont clean looks rimmed off, Jaylen Fisher capped a 15-0 TCU run with a conventional 3-point play to extend the margin to 20, 34-14, with 7:33 left in the first half. Belmont hasn't become a nationally-relevant program for a decade-plus by going away quietly; the Bruins took the standing eight-count and responded with tough, purposeful basketball. Bench contributions on both ends from Nick Hopkins and Mack Mercer helped Belmont close the half on a 13-3 run to make the score 42-31 at halftime. A Windler driving basket to open the second half continued the positive momentum, before an offensive rebound basket from Kenrich Williams. Brodziansky's fifth 3-pointer of the evening extended the margin to 55-37 with 15:37 left before Belmont answered back. Consecutive 3-pointers from Amanze Egekeze got the Bruins within 12. Baskets from Egekeze, Kevin McClain and five Hopkins points trimmed the margin to nine, 67-58, with 9:35 remaining. The Bruins then played two straight possessions of strong halfcourt defense, only to have the Horned Frogs score putback baskets off initial misses. Windler picked up his fourth personal foul with 7:51 left to half a bit of momentum, but again the Bruins showcased great togetherness and poise in fighting on. As Belmont held TCU to one made field goal over a six-minute stretch, McClain and Hopkins caught fire off assists from Austin Luke. The Bruins had several promising opportunities to inch closer, but open shots dipped out. Egekeze burned the nets with just under two minutes left to make the score 77-70, but late in the shot clock Alex Robinson found a cutting Brodziansky for a layin. Belmont would get within seven on three more occasions, but Desmond Bane made six consecutive free throws in the final 24 seconds to secure the outcome. All told, Belmont shot 51 percent (30for-59) from the field - including 53 percent in the second half. Windler led four Bruins in double figures with 17 points. Egekeze and McClain each scored 15. Hopkins had 10.

After early scores from Mercer and Egekeze gave the Bruins a 6-1 lead, Belmont struggled to find a rhythm. A driving layin from Austin Luke pushed Belmont to an 18-17 edge, however the visiting Phoenix would go on a 14-5 run. A Luke bounce feed to Egekeze for a slam and a 3-pointer from Nick Hopkins provided sparks, but behind the play of Khalil Small, Green Bay led 42-35 at halftime. It was a strange and uncharacteristic first half for the Bruins; missing 14 3-pointers, five free throws, and committing eight turnovers in the opening 20 minutes. Mercer led Belmont with 11 first half points. A 3-pointer from Windler opened things up for Belmont in the second half, and confident, determined basketball followed. Five interior points from Egekeze highlighted a 14-3 Bruin run to open the second half and gave Belmont a 49-45 lead with 16:22 left. From there, the teams exchanged a flurry of five 3-pointers in a 102 second span, as heroics from Windler were answered in kind. After Kevin McClain tied the score at 59 midway through the second half, Luke delivered a timely steal and coast-to-coast conventional 3-point play to push the Bruins ahead by three. Seth Adelsperger would sandwich a layin around two more McClain 3-pointers to increase the Belmont lead to eight, 74-66, with 4:55 left. But just as Belmont was stringing together defensive stops and scores, consecutive 3-pointers from Kameron Hankerson and TJ Parham got Green Bay within 76-74 with 3:01 to go. From there, the Bruins held the Phoenix without a field goal, closing the game on a 10-1 run. Egekeze answered with a straight-on 3-pointer, then after a string of empty possessions, Windler buried a deep wing 3-pointer with 46 seconds remaining to push Belmont to an 82-75 lead.

3-point play from Garrison Mathews gave Lipscomb an 18-5 edge nine minutes in. From there, Belmont held the Bisons scoreless for eight straight minutes, pulling within 18-17 on a layin from Seth Adelsperger. Yet just when the Bruins appeared settled in and poised to push ahead, Lipscomb closed the half on a 10-3 run.

Belmont shot 32 percent (8-for-25) from the field in the opening 20 minutes - including 3-for-15 from 3-point distance.

Bench contributions from Mack Mercer helped Belmont work back into the game, and a 3-pointer from Amanze Egekeze trimmed the margin to eight, 36-28, with 13:07 left.

Windler and Kevin McClain got Belmont within 55-47 with 5:56 remaining, but a Rob Marberry putback and six points from Garrison Mathews all but secured the outcome.

MARTIN, Tenn. - - Behind a game-high 19 points from Austin Luke, Belmont University men's basketball defeated UT Martin, 65-58, Saturday night. Luke delivered one of his finest games in a Bruin uniform, adding 10 assists and three steals on zero turnovers in 38 minutes of action. The Bruins got off to a positive start, as a thunderous baseline slam from Dylan Windler and a layin from Amanze Egekeze forced a UT Martin timeout less than a minute into the game. Interior baskets from Mack Mercer and Seth Adelsperger gave Belmont a 13-6 lead seven minutes in. But after making 58 3-point field goals in their previous four games, the Bruins mysteriously rimmed out 12 of their first 13 shots from behind the arc.

Belmont shot 41 percent (12-for29) from the field in the opening 20 minutes - including 6-for-23 from 3-point distance.

A transition basket from Egekeze opened second half scoring, and Belmont pushed the lead to 10, 44-34, with 16:20 left on a Luke 3-pointer. Tyler Hadden would provide valuable bench contributions, as two straight baskets preserved a 51-41 edge with 11:39 remaining.

A Matthew Butler layin capped a 10-0 UT Martin run and tied the score at 51 with 7:08 remaining. Egekeze followed with a timely 3-pointer at the 5:45 mark, as the Bruins held the Skyhawks to one field goal the final seven minutes.

Then after two Darius Thompson free throws, Mercer found a cutting Kevin McClain for an acrobatic finish in traffic. A baseline dunk and two free throws from Windler in the final 1:06 enabled Belmont to secure the game.

Shaq Calhoun capped a 9-2 Tennessee Tech run as the Golden Eagles got within four midway through the first half. After another Mercer basket, the visitors continued their late-half push, as a conventional 3-point play from Kajon Mack and a Mason Ramsey layin gave Tennessee Tech a brief 27-26 lead.

Michael Benkert then tacked on a driving baseline basket to make the score 54-45 with 11:51 remaining.

Jacksonville State Saturday. The Bruins, seventh nationally in 3-point field goals per game, shot 7for-34 from behind the arc. It marked just the second home loss for Belmont since joining the OVC in 2012-13. After a 25-25 first half, Jacksonville State rode strong defense and timely shooting, taking

a 52-35 lead on a conventional 3-point play from Cam Martin. Belmont stormed back behind the inspired play of Kevin McClain and seniors Amanze Egekeze and Austin Luke. A Luke free throw capped a 19-6 run and made the score 58-54 with 1:56 remaining. But when his second free throw attempt to cut the margin to three points rimmed out, the rebound was tipped out past midcourt and found the waiting arms of Tyrik Edwards for a momentum swinging layin. The Bruins created several opportunities down the stretch, creating turnovers with pressure defense, but icy shooting and empty free throw trips stifled the comeback push. A Marlon Hunter basket with 33 seconds left made the score 64-57. McClain led Belmont with 19 points and five steals.

While Winter Storm Hunter dropped temperatures some forty degrees around tip time, inside the Vadalabene Center, Belmont seemed unaffected. Belmont led wire-to-wire, in command on both ends of the

floor. Five quick points from Kevin McClain and a 3-pointer from Dylan Windler helped the Bruins seize a 10-2 lead less than four minutes in. After a Jalen Henry basket, Belmont got two interior baskets from Mack Mercer and an Egekeze 3-pointer to stretch to a 17-6 advantage. Six straight Brandon Jackson points trimmed the margin to four before a stabilizing steal and score from Nick Hopkins sparked a big Bruin run. As Belmont held SIU Edwardsville without a field goal for over six minutes, seven straight Egekeze points made the score 41-23 with 2:55 left in the first half. But despite working for clean looks, the Bruins went dry to close the half. Behind Jackson, SIU Edwardsville scored the final six points of the first half. Belmont led 41-29 at halftime.

CHARLESTON, Ill. - - Behind 25 points from Dylan Windler, Belmont University men's basketball defeated Eastern Illinois, 75-66, Saturday. Windler went 9-for-13 from the field and 5-for-8 from 3-point distance in leading Belmont to its fourth consecutive conference road victory. In a game featuring two of the top defenses in the OVC, the Bruins and Panthers labored to find consistent offensive production. Consecutive 3-pointers from Amanze Egekeze gave Belmont a 12-6 lead seven minutes in. Windler then buried two threes of his own to push the Bruin lead to nine, 18-9. But moments later, Windler picked up his second personal foul and would sit the final nine minutes of the first half. Eastern Illinois got within 30-27 on a Jajuan Starks basket.

After a baseline 3-pointer from Egekeze, Eastern Illinois got within 52-50 with 9:04 remaining on a Muusa Dama layin. Consecutive backdoor scores from Windler and Kevin McClain stretched the margin back to six. Burton Sampson made a number of significant hustle plays throughout the game, perhaps none bigger than his offensive rebound and kick-out pass to Windler for a deep 3-pointer that made the score 59-52 with 6:59 to go. McClain and Egekeze then tacked on inside scores to cap the 11-2 Bruin run. A contested McClain 3-pointer with 2:38 left preserved the double-digit lead, and Windler's steal and score in the final minute secured the outcome. All told, Belmont shot 51 percent (27-for-53) from the field â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including 13-for-25 from 3-point distance. Belmont outrebounded Eastern Illinois, 35-32, and forced 13 turnovers.

Nick Hopkins capped a 9-0 Belmont run with a deep 3-pointer as the Bruins took a 22-16 lead midway through the first half.

Belmont held SIU Edwardsville scoreless for a six-minute stretch before a Jaylen McCoy 3-pointer at the 12:32 mark. A tip-in basket from Amanze Egekeze and three points from Seth Adelsperger stretched the Belmont lead to 20-14. Luke continued to carry the Belmont scoring torch, but timely 3-point shooting kept the Cougars within range. A Daniel Kinchen 3-pointer right before the first half horn gave SIU Edwardsville a 32-30 halftime lead. Belmont shot 39 percent (11-for-28) from the field in the opening 20 minutes - including 4-for-15 from 3-point distance. Belmont forced nine first half turnovers. Luke led Belmont with 15 first half points. A transition 3-pointer from Kevin McClain tied the score at 38 with 16:53 remaining. Then after a Brandon Jackson basket, Nick Hopkins sparked a 9-0 Belmont spurt to give the Bruins a 49-43 edge with 13:02 left. Two Egekeze free throws made the score 56-50, before a Jalen Henry four-point play trimmed the margin to two. In fact, Henry would score 10 consecutive points for the Cougars, giving SIU Edwardsville a 60-58 lead with 5:10 remaining. The final five minutes were characterized by more high drama, momentum swinging plays. Following a Belmont empty possession, Henry would be whistled for an offensive foul, extending his off arm into Egekeze's head on an aggressive drive to the basket. Official video review would confirm the call as a Flagrant 1 foul, awarding Egekeze two free throws and Belmont possession. Egekeze, and then Windler, would deliver free throws to give Belmont a 62-60 lead with 4:25 left. SIU Edwardsville replied with a deep, contested 3-pointer from David McFarland to reclaim a one-point lead. Moments later, Luke would answer with a 3-pointer of his own, and Belmont would not trail again. A Luke steal and a Hopkins putback basket stretched the lead to 67-63 with 3:19 remaining. Following two SIU Edwardsville free throws, Luke supplied two key assists late – one to Hopkins for a baseline 3-pointer and one to Windler for an alley oop slam – as the Bruins went 9-for-11 from the free throw line in the final 1:01 to secure the outcome. All told, Belmont shot 46 percent (25-for-55) from the field - including 9-for-25 from 3-point distance. Luke led four Bruins in double figures with 25 points. McClain scored 21. Egekeze added 13 points and seven rebounds, while Hopkins had 11.

University men's basketball defeated Eastern Kentucky, 98-63, Thursday night. For a program known for offensive precision and 3-point shooting prowess, Belmont delivered one of the most impressive first halves in recent memory. Egekeze and Austin Luke combined on five consecutive 3-

pointers in a four-minute span as the Bruins raced out to a 17-6 lead. Mack Mercer scored seven quick points and Kevin McClain would add five assists before the second media timeout as the lead swelled to 24-11. After two Zach Charles free throws trimmed the margin to 26-21, Belmont would hold the Colonels scoreless for the next six minutes. Egekeze capped a 15-0 run to make the score 41-21 with 3:51 left in the half. The Bruins went 20-for-28 from the field in the opening 20 minutes – including 10-for-15 from 3-point distance – while committing only one turnover in leading 55-29 at halftime. Egekeze led Belmont with 17 first half points. Egekeze scored the first four points of the second half.

on Belmont's first 10 points as the Bruins seized an early six point lead. Amanze Egekeze – fresh off a 30-point performance at Eastern Kentucky – picked up two personal fouls in the first 3:55 of the

game, and was forced to sidelines the remainder of the half. Nevertheless, Belmont showcased its balance and unselfishness. A 3-pointer from Nick Hopkins and a conventional 3-point play from Hadden increased the lead to 10, 24-14, nine minutes in. After a determined drive and finish from senior Burton Sampson, Morehead State closed within 33-26 on a basket from A.J. Hicks. But Dylan Windler helped Belmont close the first half on a 10-3 run, and lead 43-30 at halftime. Belmont shot 53 percent (16-for-30) from the field in the opening 20 minutes – including 3-for-11 from 3-point distance. The Bruins forced eight Eagle turnovers which led to 12 Belmont points. Hadden led Belmont with 13 first half points, while Austin Luke had five assists. Consecutive 3-pointers from Hopkins and McClain increased the lead to 17, 53-36, with 16:41 remaining. And while Mack Mercer complemented Hadden with quality post scoring, a Lamontray Harris basket got Morehead State within 58-51 with 9:40 left. But five more McClain points and a conventional 3-point play from Mercer punctuated a 12-2 Belmont response and gave the Bruins a 70-53 lead with 6:52 left.

Tennessee State Thursday night. "I was proud of our team, and our effort tonight," Belmont head coach Rick Byrd said. "We did plenty of good things defensively, and executed well in the second half. Tennessee State simply made the plays in the final few minutes. (Delano) Spencer made a

tough, fadeaway two right after we took the lead, and things just didn't go our way after that." Amanze Egekeze got Belmont off to a quick 6-0 start, but the Bruins battled foul trouble throughout the night as Tennessee State built a 13-point first half lead. After Belmont trimmed the margin to five, Tennessee State made a running 3-pointer before the first half buzzer to lead 32-24 at halftime. Despite uncharacteristically cold shooting, Belmont rode strong defense and rebounding to get back into the game. Pinpoint assists from Austin Luke – including one to Dylan Windler – gave Belmont a 56-55 lead with 3:54 remaining. Tennessee State scored the final nine points of the game, a run started by a deep, contested baseline jumpshot from Delano Spencer. The Tigers made seven free throws in the final 2:10, as Belmont simply could not find the range after a highly-efficient offensive second half. All told, Belmont shot 45 percent (21-for47) from the field - including 54 percent in the second half. Egekeze led Belmont with 16 points. Luke had 10 assists.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - - Behind 28 points and 10 rebounds from Amanze Egekeze, Belmont University men's basketball defeated Tennessee Tech, 75-70, Saturday night. Baskets from Egekeze and McClain stretched the margin to 10, 24-14, at the 5:34 mark. The duo combined to scored 23 of Belmont's 33 points in the first half, as the Bruins led 33-23 at halftime. The hosts got a surprise lift from reserve post Joan Duran; the junior forward entered the night with 29 total points on the season and two made 3-point field goals. But by the 14:37 mark, Duran had already poured in a pair of wing 3-pointers and had 11 points to his credit, scoring that seemed to get Tennessee Tech going. After two Egekeze free throws, a Curtis Phillips 3-pointer got Tennessee Tech within 47-42 with 14:05 left. If Duran was Tennessee Tech's unsung hero, then Burton Sampson was the feel-good story of the game for Belmont. Called upon by Coach Byrd with Belmont in frontcourt foul difficulty, Sampson chipped in six points in a four-minute span – including an acrobatic tip-in – that preserved a seven-point lead. The back-and-forth affair would continue, as Sampson found Windler for another tough layin plus the foul. But Windler's free throw to complete a 3-point play rimmed off. After Ramsey and McClain exchanged free throws, Belmont got a defensive stop and set the stage for Egekeze's straight-on 3-pointer for the lead. With Phillips having fouled out, Tennessee Tech turned to Corey Tillery who missed a 3-pointer with 45 seconds left. Calhoun would also miss after the rebound was tipped out, and as the teams battled for the loose ball, Belmont gained possession on the possession arrow. With possession deep in the Tennessee Tech backcourt, Windler's inbounds pass was defended by Mack and deflected off of Austin Luke to give possession back to the Golden Eagles. Yet Windler returned the favor, stealing Tennessee Tech's subsequent inbounds pass, and earning a trip to the free throw line. He would make one of two to increase the Belmont lead to three, 71-68, with 30 seconds left. With Phillips and Calhoun having fouled out, Tennessee Tech turned to Mack, who made a driving layin with 19 seconds remaining to trim the margin to one. Sampson would be fouled on the Belmont inbounds pass. In perhaps the biggest moment of his Bruin career, Sampson made both free throws to give Belmont a 73-70 lead with 17 seconds left. The Bruins proceeded to defend Tennessee Tech's final possession extremely well, with Ramsey's potential game-tying 3-pointer with five seconds left rimming off. Windler added the defensive rebound and two more free throws to secure the victory. All told, Belmont shot 47 percent (22for-60) from the field – including 7-for-30 from 3-point distance. Egekeze led three Bruins in double figures with 28 points. McClain had 15, while Windler added his 12th double-double of the season with 14 points and 11 rebounds. Sampson had a season-high eight points in extended duty.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - - Behind 19 points and seven assists from Austin Luke, Belmont University men's basketball defeated Eastern Kentucky, 84-73, Thursday night. Belmont, which has won 16 of its last 18 games, shot 59 percent from the field – including 14-for-31 from 3-point distance. While at first glance the offensive numbers may resemble the Bruins' surgical offensive showing two weeks earlier at the Colonels, this evening proved far tougher sledding. In fact, as Eastern Kentucky opened purposeful and resolute, Belmont head coach Rick Byrd used two timeouts in the first 4:21 of the game. After a baseline 3-pointer from Nick Hopkins and slam from senior Amanze Egekeze got the Bruins within 11-10, Eastern Kentucky got five points from JacQuess Hobbs to take an 18-10 lead eight minutes in. But Egekeze continued his impressive play, as eight points around a 3-pointer from Mack Mercer tied the score at 21. While Belmont was bracing for the perimeter game of talented Eastern Kentucky forward Nick Mayo, the outside shooting of his frontcourt mate Zach Charles was not something the Colonels featured. However, after making only four career 3-pointers entering play, Charles made two straight 3-pointers midway through the first half to extend Eastern Kentucky momentum. From there, Belmont rose up defensively, holding the Colonels without a field goal for six and a half minutes. A 3-pointer from Kevin McClain made the score 37-25 with 4:14 left in the first half. A second alley oop slam from Luke to Seth Adelsperger gave Belmont a 41-29 halftime lead. Belmont shot 57 percent (16-for-28) from the field in the opening 20 minutes - including 9-for-19 from 3-point distance. Egekeze led Belmont with 13 first half points. A driving layin from junior Dylan Windler pushed the margin to 14, before another Charles 3-pointer sparked an Eastern Kentucky run. In all, Eastern Kentucky made its first six shots of the second half, closing within 47-44 with 16:06 left on a JacQuess Hobbs basket. But baskets from Luke, McClain and Windler pushed the lead back to 10. Each time Belmont appeared poised to break free, Mayo would make an impressive scoring move to keep the Colonels within striking distance. An Egekeze layin would push the lead to 10, 68-58, with 7:23 remaining, before Luke helped seal the deal. Luke would sink three consecutive 3-pointers down the stretch, the last of which made the score 77-64 with 3:49 left. Belmont outrebounded Eastern Kentucky, 35-22, and forced 10 Colonel turnovers. Luke led four Bruins in double figures with 19 points. Egekeze added his second consecutive double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds. McClain had 15, while Windler added 13 points, seven rebounds and four assists.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - - Behind 36 points and 20 rebounds from Dylan Windler, Belmont University men's basketball defeated Morehead State, 108-65, Saturday night. Belmont set a number of program records, including Windler registering the first 30-20 game the Bruins' NCAA Division I era. Windler joins Marvin Bagley of Duke and Jo Lual-Acuil of Baylor as the only players in America to register 30 points and 20 rebounds in a game this season. "Dylan's performance has to rank among the greatest in the history of Belmont Basketball," Belmont head coach Rick Byrd said. "He had a determination and aggressiveness from the opening tip tonight, and his teammates fed off of that." Given the offensive fireworks, Belmont actually missed nine of its first 10 3-point field goal attempts. But a Windler 3-pointer at the 11:18 mark of the first half ignited a jaw-dropping stretch of play that almost defied description. The 6-7 swingman showcased an avalanche of driving baskets, 3-pointers and offensive rebound putbacks. Remarkably, Windler posted a double-double midway through the first half. Supported by hot-shooting from Kevin McClain, Windler concluded the unforgettable stretch by scoring 11 points in the final 3:54 of the first half. When the dust settled, Windler had scored 26 points on 11-for-13 shooting and grabbed 14 rebounds, in one half. Belmont led 51-28 at halftime. Belmont shot 56 percent (20-for-36) from the field in the opening 20 minutes. Windler added a four-point play early in the second half, as the Bruins went on a 15-0 run to lead 66-30 with 16:51 left. Amanze Egekeze and Mack Mercer would take the scoring torch from Windler in the second half. Windler put Belmont over the century mark with 5:39 remaining. Windler led five Bruins in double figures. Egekeze had 17 points, McClain had 15, while Mercer and Tyler Hadden each scored 13.

JACKSONVILLE, ALA. - - Belmont University men's basketball dropped a 78-67 decision at Jacksonville State Thursday night. For the Bruins, it was a tough setback after winning 17 of their previous 19 games. Behind the play of Dylan Windler and Austin Luke, Belmont seized an early 147 lead. But seven quick points off the bench from Jamall Gregory ignited Jacksonville State, and his

Gamecock teammates would soon follow. A Marlon Hunter basket gave Jacksonville State a 27-19 lead midway through the first half, before Luke stabilized things for the Bruins. A 3-pointer from Amanze Egekeze got Belmont within two, 37-35, at halftime. Belmont was 9-for-21 from 3-point distance in the opening 20 minutes. Kevin McClain capped a 10-2 Belmont run that gave the Bruins a 47-44 lead with 12:55 left. After Marlon Hunter pushed the Jacksonville State lead back out to five, Egekeze tied the score at 54 with 8:19 remaining. But as has been the case in recent meetings, a series of mysterious Bruin rim outs coupled with Jacksonville State fortuitous and efficient offense told a tough tale. Jason Burnell, Malcolm Drumwright and Hunter scored in succession to give Jacksonville State a 64-55 lead with 4:45 left. Belmont closed within 69-65 on two Windler free throws, but a conventional 3-point play from Hunter and an end-of-shot-clock 3-pointer from Drumwright on subsequent Gamecock possessions all but secured the outcome. Windler led three Bruins in double figures with 22 points and nine rebounds. Luke had 15 points, 10 assists and zero turnovers.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - - Behind an NCAA Division I era single-game record 20 3-point field goals, Belmont University men's basketball defeated Tennessee State, 84-59, Saturday.

Beyond that, the Bruins showcased strong, unified team defense, limiting Tennessee State to two made field goals in the first 8:35 of the game. Three lightning quick 3-pointers from Windler the middle of which was completed as a four-point play - pushed the Belmont lead to 27-14 at the 6:54 mark. Egekeze added a pair of makes from beyond the arc to increase the margin to 16, before the final sequence of the first half. Following a basket from Delano Spencer, Luke buried a 75-footer before the horn, sending the packed Curb Event Center crowd into a frenzy. Belmont led 43-28 at halftime.

Coach Byrd was able to substitute for his four seniors in the final moments, allowing each to show his own appreciate to the Belmont faithful. All told, Belmont shot 57 percent (30-for-53) from the field - including 20-for-38 from 3-point distance.

University men's basketball dropped a 68-51 decision to Murray State in the 2018 OVC Championship. Spirited play, high drama and intense competition was expected and realized, as for the third time in six seasons the Bruins and Racers played for the Ohio Valley Conference automat-

ic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Belmont had won four previous meetings with Murray State and six of eight overall in OVC play, including the 2013 and 2015 OVC Championship games. Belmont recovered from an early 14-2 deficit, as the Bruins rode strong defense and the play of Kevin McClain to seize a 32-29 halftime lead.

But after a Bruin attempt to increase the lead rimmed out, Windler was whistled for his third personal foul with 16:50 left.

OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE

OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE PROFILE Now in its 71st year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation's eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. In May 2011 the Conference expanded for the second time in four years, adding Belmont University which began competition in the 2012-13 academic year. The addition of Belmont gave the OVC 12 members, the most the league has had at one time in its illustrious history. The move added a second team in the city of Nashville and was the first addition to the league since Southern Illinois University Edwardsville joined in 2008. Subsequently, the league has shown its stability over the past decade, seeing only one member institution depart over the past 14 years. The 2009-10 school year saw a change in leadership as Beth DeBauche was named the seventh full-time Commissioner in league history on July 28, 2009. She is currently one of just six females to be the head of a Division I conference, and one of just nine to lead a Division I conference all-time. The last three commissioners of the OVC have moved onto jobs as the commissioner of the Big Ten, Big 12 and the Mid-American Conferences. The OVC's proud history dates back to 1948, but seeds for the new league were actually planted in 1941. It was then that Roy Stewart, the athletics director at Murray State, Charles "Turkey" Hughes, the athletics director at Eastern Kentucky, and Kelly Thompson, the public relations director at Western Kentucky, first broached the idea of forming a new conference. Discussions were put on hold by World War II, but reemerged Feb. 27-28, 1948 at the Kentucky Hotel in Louisville as the three original institutions combined with Morehead State, Louisville and Evansville to form the OVC. In the 1950s, the OVC became a pioneer on a much more significant scale socially. During times of racial segregation, league member Morehead State became one of the first non-traditionally black mid-southern institutions to accept a black student. In 1958 Marshall Banks earned athletically-related aid at Morehead, which signed a second black athlete, Howard Murphy, a year later. In 1961 Murphy earned all-conference recognition as a halfback in football. With racial barriers broken, the rest of the institutions in the league began to provide educational and athletic opportunities to AfricanAmericans. After Title IX legislation passed in 1972, women's athletics began a rebirth on the national scene as the NCAA began sponsoring and marketing women's sports. Recognizing the need to provide increased opportunities for female athletes, the OVC began formulating plans for women's athletics in 1975 and established women's championships in the sports of basketball, tennis and track in 1977, with cross country and volleyball added over the next four years. Those sports were initially governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), but the overall

strength of women's programs in the league was demonstrated by the automatic bids the OVC instantly received when the NCAA became the governing body in 1982. The conference added women's golf and softball in 1994 and women's soccer in 1998. . In 1955, the OVC became only the second six-member league nationally to earn an automatic bid to the prestigious NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, which, at that time, was limited to only 24 participants. The playing field is not the only place where OVC athletes are working hard. The league also recognizes excellence in the classroom. Six Scholar-Athlete Awards are presented yearly to male and female athletes, while others are commended for their academic success by being Medal of Honor recipients or earning a spot on the Commissioner's Honor Roll. Additionally, the league annually presents one institutional Academic Achievement Award, as well as separate team awards in each Conference-sponsored sport. Since the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-America program began, the Ohio Valley Conference has had 229 student-athletes honored with the award, including 50 over the last five years. Through the early years of the league, administrators wrestled with fan behavior due to the close proximity of the Conference members and the intense rivalries which developed. Just as it did decades ago, the OVC took the leadership role on what has become a national issue. In 1995, the OVC implemented a first-of-its-kind "Sportsmanship Statement," a policy which promotes principles of fair play, ethical conduct and respect for one's opponent. The statement has become a model for others to follow across the nation, and has answered the challenge of the NCAA Presidents Commission to improve sportsmanship in collegiate athletics. Additionally, the OVC annually presents the Steve Hamilton Sportsmanship Award, in honor of the former Morehead State student-athlete, coach and athletics director, to a junior or senior student-athlete with significant athletic contributions who best exemplifies the characteristics of sportsmanship and citizenship. Most recently, the Conference has also implemented the OVC Institutional and Team Sportsmanship Awards, which are presented to one institution and 18 sport-specific teams voted by their peers to have best exhibited the standards of sportsmanship and ethical conduct as outlined by the OVC and NCAA. The last two years, Belmont received both the OVC Institutional Sportsmanship Award and the Steve Hamilton Award (J.J. Mann, Ali Alcott). The vision of leadership demonstrated by the Founding Fathers in 1948 remains alive today as the Ohio Valley Conference prepares for the future. One example is in regard to the current trend in collegiate athletics administration for increased involvement of university presidents in setting policies and making rules. The presidents of OVC institutions, however, have always governed the

Conference, long before presidential governance became a national theme. The Ohio Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, tennis and track for men, and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, tennis, track and volleyball for women. In addition, the OVC also sponsors the combined men's and women's sport of rifle. Now in its seventh decade of competition, the Ohio Valley Conference has grown significantly from its humble beginnings while increasing the number of athletics opportunities it provides for students. Current league representatives include charter members Eastern Kentucky University, Morehead State University and Murray State University, along with Austin Peay State University, Belmont University, Eastern Illinois University, Jacksonville State University, Southeast Missouri State University, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, Tennessee State University, Tennessee Technological University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

BRUIN FLASHBACK - ‘BU LEADS NATION IN SCORING MARGIN’ The 2010-11 Belmont men’s basketball team will go down as one of the greatest teams in university and Atlantic Sun Conference history, irrespective of sport. What began with a nationally-televised game honoring a coaching legend and three victories in the NIT Season Tip-Off, and ended with a fourth NCAA Tournament appearance in the last six years further cemented Belmont’s place among the nation’s premier mid major programs. The Bruins ended the season with a 30-5 record, one of only nine NCAA Division I teams to register 30 or more victories a year ago. Moreover, Belmont received national poll votes for nine consecutive weeks from January to March. Despite setting numerous conference records, including leading the league in 12 different statistical categories, and ranking among the top 10 nationally six areas, including first in “true” road victories with 13, arguably the most amazing accomplishment during an amazing season, was that Belmont led the nation in scoring margin. The Bruins outscored the opposition by +17.5 points per game - a staggering number considering the strength of schedule. Furthermore, consider the next three programs on the scoring margin leaders’ list Ohio State, Kansas, and Duke. Finally, Belmont’s conference scoring margin of +20.9 points per game was the widest conference scoring margin recorded in any NCAA Division I conference in 12 years (Duke, 1999).

NAIA ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 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. "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." 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. 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.” Front Row: Assistant Coach Casey Alexander, Joey Rhyne, Tyrus Doss, Jared Karnes, Ryan Steger, Adrian Wilson, Dougie Webb, Chancey Turner, Kevin Fields, Head Coach Rick Byrd Back Row: Graduate Assistant Kerry West, Graduate Assistant Kevin Maggard, Assistant Coach Kevin LeGate, Chris Goode, Jeremy Kees, Jason Lathrem, Michael Couey, Trainer, Keith May, Trainer Mike Gerlach

THE 1996-97 BELMONT BRUINS THE FIRST NCAA ERA TEAM With a group of five freshmen and just one returner, the 199697 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.

RETIRED JERSEYS/HALL OF FAME

ROBERT BARNES • #15 1953-1956

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

JOE BEHLING • #54 1986-1990

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 AllAmerican, 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.

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT DR. ROBERT C. FISHER Dr. Robert (Bob) Fisher serves as President of Belmont University, a position he has held since April 2000. During his tenure the University's enrollment has more than doubled while the campus itself has expanded significantly with the additions of the Baskin Center, Wedgewood Academic Center, Curb Event Center and Beaman Student Life Center, the Gordon E. Inman Center, the Troutt Theater complex, McWhorter Hall and several new residence halls and parking garages. Under his leadership Belmont University also broke into the Top 5 for the first time in the Best Regional Universities South category in U.S. News & World Report's analysis of America's Best Colleges. In the 2015 edition, Belmont was also honored for the eighth year in a row as one of the top schools nationwide for making "the most promising and innovative changes in the areas of academics, faculty, student life, campus or facilities." Academically, the University has added numerous new interdisciplinary programs in the past decade, including Social Entrepreneurship, New Century Journalism, Pharmacy, Motion Pictures and Law. In addition, Fisher worked to secure Belmont as the host site for the 2008 Town Hall Presidential Debate, a historic event broadcast worldwide that also led to Fisher's selection as 2008 Tennessean of the Year and 2010 Nashvillian of the Year. But Dr. Fisher's greatest sense of accomplishment comes not from new campus structures, stronger endowments or an ever-increasing student population. Rather, he measures achievement through witnessing education's impact on each individual student. "The student is the focus of all our efforts here at Belmont," Fisher said, "and our top priority is meeting the needs of those students. My life's mission is to help create experiences that transform people, especially students, in ways that enable them to become all they were created to be." Prior to his appointment at Belmont, Fisher was vice president for academic affairs at Arkansas State University for four years and was dean of the School of Business at Henderson State University, his alma mater, for 10 years. Fisher earned a B.S.B.A. from Henderson State, an M.B.A. from the University of Memphis and a Ph.D. from the University of Arkansas.

158

In addition to his success as both faculty member and higher education administrator, Fisher is also an accomplished author with his most recent work, Life Is a Gift: Inspiration from the Soon Departed, released in 2008. Co-authored with his wife Judy, Life Is a Gift features a collection of lessons learned from interviews with 104 terminally ill patients of Alive Hospice in Nashville. Dr. Fisher previously co-authored Real Dream Teams: Seven Practices Used by World-Class Team Leaders to Achieve Extraordinary Results, published by St. Lucie Press, with Belmont's Vice President of University Advancement Dr. Bo Thomas. Expressing knowledge gained from his business degrees and management positions, Dr. Fisher has published numerous articles on management and leadership and has consulted with a wide variety of organizations on human resource and strategic planning issues, including Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Alltel, Arkla Gas and the U.S. Department of Transportation, among others. In 1992, Fisher served in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, as a Fulbright Scholar, conducting research and consulting with the National Institute of Public Administration. He also provided a keynote address at the Arabian Society for Human Resource Management Conference in Bahrain in 1998. Active in his community, Fisher has served in numerous volunteer roles with such organizations as Alignment Nashville, the Nashville Public Education Foundation and the PENCIL Foundation, all of which support Nashville's public schools. He also is a past chair of the Greater Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce. He is an active member of the Rotary Club of Nashville, participates in Nashville's Agenda and is a 2001 graduate of Leadership Nashville. He also serves as a member of the Board of Directors for the Southern Financial Partners, a division of Southern Bancorp, Inc. In addition, he has been a member of the Board of Directors for the United Way of Metropolitan Nashville, the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Boy Scouts of Middle Tennessee, the Nashville Symphony, the YMCA of Middle Tennessee, Music City Coalition, TICUA, Fifth Third Bank-Tennessee Division, Cumberland Region Tomorrow and the NCAA Division I Board of Directors and Executive

Committee. Married for over 40 years, Dr. Fisher and his wife Judy share in their commitment to Belmont University, where Mrs. Fisher provides support through her role as campus-wide coordinator of interior construction and exterior landscaping/lighting. The Fishers are the proud parents of three grown children and have two wonderful sons-in-law, one wonderful daughter-in-law, and eight grandchildren.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS SCOTT CORLEY Scott Corley is in his third year as director of athletics at Belmont University. Corley's first year at the helm saw the Bruins claim conference championships in men's and women's basketball, with national rankings in each. Behind strong seasons across the board, including major strides in softball, track & field and soccer, Belmont came within an eyelash of capturing the 2016-17 Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner's Cup, finishing just 0.375 points behind Eastern Kentucky. Then in 2017-18, Belmont rose to No. 22 nationally in women's basketball, claimed OVC championships in women's basketball and men's tennis, and swept SEC neighbor Vanderbilt in its three highest-profile sports (men's basketball, women's basketball, baseball). Belmont once again claimed the conference academic trophy, marking the 15th time in the last 17 years, dating back to the Atlantic Sun Conference.“I am honored and excited for this opportunity, at a place that means so much to me,” Corley said. “Some of the best years of my life were spent as a student-athlete at Belmont. I learned so many life lessons that helped mold me into the person I am today. Being able to lead the athletic department, and give my all for a place I love, is truly a dream come true. I look forward to working with all the coaches, staff and student-athletes to build upon the solid foundation established by Mike (Strickland).” Recent coaching hires have also thrived early on at Belmont, with women's basketball head coach Bart Brooks named 2018 WBCA Maggie Dixon Coach of the Year and softball head coach Brian Levin named 'Best Coaching Hire' of 2017 by the Nashville Post. Moreover, Corley has spearheaded new athletic department initiatives, including a program-wide deal with Under Armour as the official outfitter of the Bruins and a rebrand of the Bruin Club, the athletic department fundraising arm. Corley brings over 25 years of business experience

within the Nashville community. Most recently, Corley spent four-plus years in senior leadership at FirstBank, engaging in business development with some of the most successful companies in middle Tennessee.Prior to his time at FirstBank, Corley served as managing director for corporate banking at Regions Bank for five years.

three-pointers may never be broken.

He held a similar capacity at SunTrust Bank from 1991-2007, overseeing middle Tennessee, east Tennessee, and sparking the company’s foothold in Kentucky markets, such as Louisville and Lexington.Corley has served as the head of corporate membership on the executive committee of the Nashville Sports Council since 2014 and is Belmont University’s representative on the Ohio Valley Conference Alumni Board. He also contributed to the Belmont University Alumni Board from 200914 and the Nashville Health Care Council from 2013-14.

Corley, a two-time NAIA Academic-All American (1989, 1990) and Belmont Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2000 inductee, earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Belmont before receiving his master’s degree in business administration from Samford University.

The southpaw also took part in one of the most iconic games in the history of Nashville sports, when on Feb. 17, 1990 Belmont and Lipscomb played before an overflow crowd of 16,000 at Vanderbilt University’s Memorial Gymnasium.

A native of Brentwood, Tennessee, Corley is married to the former Keely Gourley. The couple has two children, Karson and Kennedy.

“You’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who cares more deeply about Belmont than Scott Corley,” Strickland said. “His track record of accomplishment and unwavering passion for our university will galvanize the campus community. Scott’s integrity, leadership ability, and strong relationships in the business community will serve Belmont well moving forward. It is fitting, and personally rewarding, to have a former studentathlete lead Belmont during this exciting new period of growth and opportunity.” In 1986, Corley was the first men’s basketball signee for head coach Rick Byrd. The shooting guard went on to lead Belmont to 90 victories over four seasons and the program’s first-ever NAIA National Tournament berth in 1989. The thenRebels won the 1988 Tennessee Collegiate Athletic Conference (TCAC) title and the 1989 NAIA District 24 championship.Corley is one of only eight players in the history of Belmont Basketball to score over 2,000 career points, ranking sixth alltime (2,062). While former Belmont All-American and NBA Champion Ian Clark (’13) holds the Bruins’ NCAA Division I era record for career three-point field goals (340), Corley’s astonishing mark of 420 made

E.S. ROSE PARK Belmont University has partnered with Nashvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Metro Board of Parks and Recreation to provide $8 million worth of enhancements to nearby E.S. Rose Park which would also allow the University to lease space for athletics. Rose Park opened for play in April 2011. With a majestic, elevated view of the downtown Nashville skyline, the enhancements provide new resources for the Edgehill community and Belmont student-athletes including accessible walking trails and softball, baseball, track and soccer fields. In fact, in just its fourth-ever game at Rose Park, Belmont Baseball set an NCAA record with 19 runs in the first inning against UT-Martin. Rose Park also sparked the Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; historic run to the Atlantic Sun Championship and a regional finalist showing in the 2011 NCAA Baseball Championships and another league title and NCAA Tournament berth in 2012. In 2015, Belmont capped a season sweep of 2014 National Champion Vanderbilt at Rose Park. The Metro Parks Board will maintain the exclusive authority to schedule the use of the park and will remain the sole owner of the park and its improvements. Utilizing the new sports fields and their accompanying concessions will be neighbors from the Edgehill community, athletic teams from nearby public schools, the youth and adult recreational programs of Metro Parks, neighborhood churches, community groups, nonprofit sports organizations and Belmont University. The university also agreed to award eight full Belmont scholarships and two partial ones to students in the Edgehill community and help sponsor neighborhood little league baseball and softball teams.
