Voice of the Bruins

SETH ADELSPERGER

Kevin Ingram on Seth Adelsperger:

“One of my favorite memories of that week was the high five from Seth after I took a Sharpie and marked Belmont as advancing on a giant bracket at the airport in Dayton, after the win. Gotta love the way Seth has progressed during his Belmont career, he's also a great example of what a student-athlete is supposed to be. Great guy, from a super nice family.”

Coach Alexander on Seth Adelsperger: “Seth does so many things well on both ends of the floor and offers us great experience and can provide us with real quality minutes in the post. He's a great representative of Belmont and a real leader on the team.”

He had an outstanding junior year, shot meaningful to our success over the years. With the losses of Dylan the ball well, played great defense as always, and really delivered when it counted. Michael was so important in that NCAA and Kevin, we're going to need significant production from Michael.” win over Temple, with those 3 threes. He has become a key guy on championship teams.”

Kevin Ingram on Nick Muszynski:

“Moose seems to be on track to become another of the great players in this program's history. Very versatile, whether it was scoring, passing, blocks, or stepping out to make a memorable 3 in the NCAA tourney. Oh, and the look on his face when several family members showed up in Jacksonville in matching 33 shirts was priceless."

Coach Alexander on Nick Muszynski: “It's so rare for a freshman post player to make the impact that Nick did last season and the confidence he gained from those experiences has served him well. The best news is that he still has significant room for improvement. He'll be the key figure in our offense and he’ll also fortify our defense with his shot blocking ability.”

COACHING STAFF

HEAD COACH CASEY ALEXANDER Casey Alexander was introduced as the 10th head men's basketball coach in program history Wednesday, April 10, 2019. Alexander, 46, returns to his alma mater after spending the past six seasons as head coach at Lipscomb University. The Nashville native spearheaded a program renaissance, leading the Bisons to the best three-year stretch of their NCAA Division I era and the first NCAA Tournament appearance in school history. Lipscomb won 113 games during Alexander's tenure, including 72 over the final three campaigns. In addition, Lipscomb went 59-31 in Atlantic Sun Conference games and a sparkling 35-9 during the last three seasons. Alexander led Lipscomb to a 29-8 record this past season, rewriting the program's record book from total wins, national top 25 poll votes and top 50 ranking in the inaugural NET ranking system. The Bisons won the Atlantic Sun Conference regular season championship and defeated Davidson, UNC Greensboro, North Carolina State and Wichita State in succession during an historic run to the 2019 Postseason NIT Championship game. Earlier in the season, Lipscomb defeated No. 18 TCU for the program's first-ever victory over a nationally ranked opponent. Lipscomb ranked top 25 nationally in numerous statistical categories, including scoring offense, scoring margin, assists per game, field goal percentage, free throws made, free throw percentage and defensive rebounding. Alexander was named 2019 Atlantic Sun Coach of the Year, while Lipscomb senior Garrison Mathews garnered Associated Press All-America Honorable Mention and Atlantic Sun Player of the Year honors. Alexander's program building has gained national acclaim from the coaching community and media members alike. He was named 2018 Skip Prosser Man of the Year by CollegeInsider.com. Named in honor of the former Xavier and Wake

Forest coach, it is an award given annually to coaches who achieve success on the court and display moral integrity off it. In 2017, Alexander led Lipscomb to its first 20-win season since 2006, and just its second 20-win campaign in the Bisons’ NCAA Division I era. Three-point shooting was an area of strength during Alexander's tenure, as Lipscomb made 1,793 3-pointers over the course of six seasons. Prior to Lipscomb, Alexander spent two seasons as head coach at Stetson University. Inheriting a program that spent the previous decade under .500, Alexander led the Hatters to an 11-7 conference mark in Year 2; equaling the most league wins for Stetson since 1987. Stetson center Adam Pegg earned the 2013 Atlantic Sun Conference Men's Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year award.

HEAD COACH CASEY ALEXANDER Prior to his first head coaching opportunity, Alexander spent two decades at Belmont; first as a player and later as a member of Rick Byrd's coaching staff. A product of nearby Brentwood Academy, Alexander played point guard for Byrd at Belmont from 1991-95. He compiled a 119-25 record as a player, and helped lead Belmont to the top of the NAIA. As a senior in 1995, Alexander directed the thenRebels to a 37-2 record, a No. 1 national ranking and an appearance in the NAIA National Semifinals. From there, he spent 16 seasons as part of Byrd's coaching staff. Belmont won 287 games with Alexander on staff. Over Alexander's final eight seasons, the Bruins tallied 172 victories, six postseason appearances (four NCAA Tournaments, one NIT, one CIT), four Atlantic Sun Conference regular season championships, four Atlantic Sun Conference tournament titles, a remarkable 132-41 record in Atlantic Sun play, and road victories over Missouri, Alabama, and Cincinnati. Alexander's final season as a Byrd assistant in 2011 was arguably the finest in program history; Belmont went 30-5 and led the nation in scoring margin. Alexander played an integral role in the recruitment and development of Belmont standouts, such as NBA Champion Ian Clark ('13), Kerron Johnson ('13), Drew Hanlen ('12), Alex Renfroe ('09) and Justin Hare ('08). Alexander was inducted into the Belmont University Athletic Hall of Fame in 2005. He received a bachelor's degree in physical education from Belmont in 1995 and a master's degree in sports management from Austin Peay in 1996. Alexander and his wife, the former Sunni Dixon, also a 1995 Belmont graduate, are the parents of three children: Allie, Reed and Mason.

Kevin Ingram on Coach Alexander:

“This outstanding program will be in good hands for years to come with Casey as head coach. An excellent leader and tactician with the integrity to match, a perfect fit to take over for the legendary Rick Byrd. When the bus pulled into the Curb Center after the 2011 NCAA tournament, we all sort of knew that was the last time for Casey as a Bruin assistant. Eight years later it was very cool to do the first interview with him back in the Belmont colors. He's done a great job learning how to be a successful head coach at his two previous schools, and assembled a terrific staff for the next chapter. This is going to be fun.”

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH BRIAN AYERS Brian Ayers (@coachbrianayers) begins his 22nd season on the Bruins' coaching staff in 2019-20, ninth as associate head coach, and first as a member of Casey Alexander's staff. During Ayers' 21 seasons, Belmont has averaged 21 wins per season, including 25 wins per season over the last nine 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 seven seasons, and has ranked Top 30 in that category 11 consecutive seasons. 2019 was the latest work come to life for Ayers, as center Nick Muszynski earned Freshman All-America, All-OVC First Team, OVC All-Newcomer Team, OVC Freshman of the Year and NABC All-District honors. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Remarkably, Bradds and Mark are the last two NCAA Division I players to lead the nation in field goal percentage in consecutive seasons.

Ayers, a native of Clarksville, Tennessee, spent two years on staff at Vanderbilt

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.

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH BRIAN AYERS son, helping the Mustangs to a 28-6 record and the Class AA semifinals in 1995. Ayers played his college basketball at Lipscomb University.

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.

2018-19 GAME SUMMARIES November 10, 2018 Curb Event Center - - Nashville, Tenn. Illinois State Redbirds 46 43 89 Belmont Bruins 62 38 100

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - - Behind five double figure scorers, Belmont University men's basketball defeated Illinois State, 100-89, Saturday night in its 2018-19 season opener. The Bruins, welcoming 10 newcomers, played with poise and confidence against one of the most experienced and talented programs ever to play in the Curb Event Center. As was the case in last season's home opening victory over Vanderbilt, Belmont got strong early play from Dylan Windler to set the tone. Consecutive 3pointers from Windler highlighted a 13-2 Bruin run to open the game. As the Belmont student section rejoiced, Illinois State stabilized. What ensued over the next 15 minutes was some of the most free-flowing, high-level basketball in recent memory. Despite quality production from Kevin McClain and Nick Muszynski, Illinois State made seven consecutive 3-pointers to open the game. A baseline 3-pointer from William Tinsley punctuated the Redbird tear and gave the visitors a brief 33-31 at the 8:14 mark. But the end to end action was far from over; with Grayson Murphy running the show and fellow Caleb Hollander scoring from all angles, the Bruins reclaimed a 46-40 lead. Moments later following a Phil Fayne basket, Illinois State forward Milik Yarbrough was whistled for his second personal foul. The Bruins proceeded to go on a 16-4 run to close the first half, as two Windler free throws gave Belmont a 62-46 lead at halftime. Belmont shot 58 percent (22-for-38) from the field in the opening 20 minutes, including 11-for-18 from 3-point distance. The Bruins outrebounded Illinois State, 20-12, in the first half, and only committed three first half turnovers. Hollander led Belmont with 16 first half points. Given the high-possession game, the Bruins knew a strong start to the second half was paramount. Muszynski and Windler each scored two baskets in the first 3:38 of the second half to increase the Bruin lead to 19, 72-53. Illinois State got within 75-62 at the 13:48 mark on a Fayne basket, but more determined drives from Murphy stemmed the tide. A 3-pointer from Adam Kunkel made the score 90-70 with 10:32 left. Tinsley made the score 92-82 with 6:49 to go, but the Bruins limited Illinois State to one field goal over the next four and a half minutes. A Muszynski post move and Windler slam down the stretch all but secured the outcome. All told, Belmont shot 52 percent (37-for-71) from the field, including 14for-34 from 3-point distance. The Bruins handed out 26 assists on 37 made field goals and outrebounded Illinois State, 41-33. Hollander led five Bruins in double figures with 21 points. Windler had 20 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals. Murphy flirted with a triple-double before finishing with 13 points, eight rebounds and 10 assists, while Muszynski added 18 points, seven rebounds and five blocked shots. McClain scored 14.

November 12, 2018 Curb Event Center - - Nashville, Tenn. Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders 54 19 Belmont Bruins 46 46

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - - Dylan Windler had 34 points and 11 rebounds as Belmont University men's basketball used a strong second half to defeat Middle Tennessee, 92-73, Monday night. The Bruins limited the Blue Raiders to 6-for-29 shooting and forced 14 turnovers in the second half in outscoring the visitors 46-19 after halftime. In a meeting of the two winningest programs in the state of Tennessee this decade, Middle Tennessee exhibited tremendous confidence early in its first road game of 2018-19. Seven early points from Donovan Sims gave Middle Tennessee an 11-4 lead. After baskets from Windler and Nick Muszynski stabilized things for Belmont, Blue Raider forward Karl Gamble put on a jump-shooting display. In a succession of long two-point baskets, Gamble scored 15 points during a five-minute stretch midway through the first half as Middle Tennessee led by as many as 11. Efficient offensive production from Windler and Muszynski enabled Belmont to withstand Gamble's flurry. A deep 3-pointer from Grayson Murphy got the Bruins with 36-33 at the 7:00 mark. Yet when Belmont was able to force Blue Raider field goal misses, the visitors took advantage of several long rebounds for second chance points. A putback basket from Anthony Crump stretched the Middle Tennessee lead back to 47-40 with 3:52 left in the half. 3-point makes from Windler and Kevin McClain and a driving basket from Michael Benkert closed the margin to five. Middle Tennessee led 54-46 at halftime. Belmont shot 52 percent (17-for-33) from the field in the opening 20 minutes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including 5-for-14 from 3-point distance. Middle Tennessee shot 57 percent in the first half, but interestingly only 16 of its 54 points were in the paint. Windler led Belmont with 15 first half points. The second 20 minutes were a completely different narrative; the Bruins were the aggressors and dictated the terms from the opening possession of the second half. A Murphy steal and hit-ahead assist to Windler for a layin initiated an inspired stretch of play. Belmont earned defensive stops on Middle Tennessee's first 11 possessions of the second half, and turned it into a 16-0 run. Windler scored eight points during the spurt as the Bruins seized a 62-54 lead with 14:00 left. And though the Blue Raiders thrice would close within seven points thereafter, Belmont's purposeful defense and rebounding set the tone for the remainder of the game. Several hustle plays in transition defense thwarted seemingly easy Middle Tennessee scoring opportunities, including one acrobatic McClain blocked shot on an Antonio Green layin attempt. Consecutive Murphy driving baskets pushed Belmont's lead to 73-62 with 8:29 remaining. Windler would punctuate the 10-0 run on a twisting baseline basket off a timely McClain feed. Belmont also worked into the bonus midway through the second half, with Windler's determined drives earning free throws. All told, Belmont shot 54 percent (35-for-65) from the field â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including 6-for-19 from 3-point distance. Belmont handed out 21 assists on 35 made field goals, gathering 10 steals and blocking six Middle Tennessee shots. Windler led four Bruins in double figures with 34 points. Muszynski added 18 points, while Murphy had another remarkable stat line of 15 points, seven rebounds, eight assists and five steals. McClain added 10 points and six assists.

2018-19 GAME SUMMARIES November 15, 2018 Allen Arena - - Nashville, Tenn. Belmont Bruins 37 50 Lipscomb Bisons 34 49

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - - With Senior All-America candidate Dylan Windler mired in foul trouble, Belmont University men's basketball rose to the occasion in defeating Lipscomb, 87-83, Thursday night. Five quick points from Caleb Hollander sparked Belmont to a 7-0 lead. And when Kevin McClain scored consecutive driving baskets, the Bruins built a 13-2 lead. However, Windler would pick up his second personal foul 40 feet from the basket pursuing a loose ball at the 14:30 mark. Lipscomb would take advantage. As the Bruins endured an offensive dry spell, Kenny Cooper got the Bisons within one, 15-14, with 9:08 left in the first half. Another Hollander 3-pointer momentarily halted Lipscomb momentum, and when Nick Muszynski and Windler strung together scores, the Bruins led 22-19. But another miserable sequence off a long rebound resulted in Windler collecting his third personal foul with 5:19 remaining in the half. It would be nearly an hour of real time before Windler returned to game action. Michael Buckland capped an 11-2 Lipscomb run to give the Bisons a 30-24 edge. But the Bruins regrouped and closed the half on a 13-4 push of their own; a Hollander 3-pointer and a short jumper from Grayson Murphy gave Belmont a 37-34 lead at halftime. Belmont shot 53 percent (16-for-30) from the field in the opening 20 minutes including 4-for-12 from 3-point distance. The Bruins held Lipscomb to 37 percent shooting and forced eight Bison turnovers. Hollander led Belmont with 13 first half points. Belmont got two inside baskets from Seth Adelsperger to maintain a 41-38 lead with 18:41 left. Six different Bruins scored in a three-minute stretch as the lead swelled to 53-43. Then after a thunderous Muszynski slam, Michael Benkert made his second 3-pointer of the half to increase the Belmont lead to 6546 with 11:37 left. But Lipscomb worked into the bonus just five and a half minutes into the second half, and its 22 free throw attempts after the break methodically slowed the pace and enabled the Bisons to work back into the game. That, coupled with a number of Belmont near-steals that resulted in Lipscomb scores, inhibited the Bruins from breaking free. Two Muszynski free throws gave Belmont a 77-64 lead with 5:37 to go, before the Bisons answered back. After being held in check from long distance for the majority of the game, Lipscomb sank four consecutive 3-pointers over a 2:25 stretch to get within 77-76 with 3:12 remaining. But two Bruin free throws and an offensive rebound basket from Hollander pushed the Belmont lead back to five, 81-76, with 2:04 left. Following a Rob Marberry basket, Murphy buried a dramatic, end-of-shot-clock 3-pointer with 1:12 remaining to make the score 84-78. And when Belmont broke Lipscomb pressure for a Windler slam, the Bruins led 86-80 with 30 seconds remaining. But after a deep, contested Garrison Mathews 3-pointer, Murphy missed two consecutive free throws with 16 seconds left. Lipscomb secured the rebound and worked into the frontcourt with a chance to tie. But Hollander shot the gap on a Cooper wing entry pass, gathering a steal and racing downcourt. Despite an off-balanced miss, Belmont Tate Pierson would secure the loose ball rebound and earn a trip to the free throw line with under two seconds remaining. Pierson's one free throw provided the final margin. All told, Belmont shot 55 percent (34for-62) from the field - including 9-for-22 from 3-point distance. The Bruins outrebounded Lipscomb, 40-28, and blocked eight Bison shots. Hollander led four Bruins in double figures with a career-high 21 points. He added 11 rebounds for his first career double-double. Murphy had 17 points, five rebounds and six assists. Muszynski tallied 16 points, nine rebounds, five blocked shots and three assists. McClain had 16 points and two steals.

2018-19 GAME SUMMARIES November 24, 2018 KSU Convocation Center - - Kennesaw, Ga. Belmont Bruins 45 46 91 Kennesaw State Owls 31 22 53

KENNESAW, Ga. - - Belmont University men's basketball showcased balanced scoring and unified defense in defeating Kennesaw State, 91-53, Saturday. The Bruins entered having eclipsed the century mark twice in their first four games, but a trademark fast start did not materialize. A series of mysterious bounces and rim outs from close range halted momentum. After Nick Muszynski tied the score at 15, a Bobby Parker basket gave Kennesaw State a 21-15 lead at the 9:53 mark. In a game with contrasting tempo and styles of play, Belmont slowly used its defense the fuel transition opportunities. Consecutive steals and scores from Grayson Murphy ignited the Bruins, who proceeded to hold the Owls without a field goal for the next six and a half minutes. Seven different Bruins scored during a dazzling 22-1 run, with Belmont seizing a 41-24 lead at the 2:45 mark on another Muszynski basket. Belmont led 45-31 at halftime. Belmont shot 49 percent (18-for-37) from the field in the opening 20 minutes and forced nine Kennesaw State turnovers. Dylan Windler led Belmont with 10 first half points. The Bruins broke the game open in the second half, as more efficient play and a flurry of 3-pointers from Kevin McClain, Caleb Hollander and Michael Benkert made the score 68-41 with 10:21 remaining. Meanwhile, Belmont held Kennesaw State to 8-for-37 shooting in the second half.All told, Belmont shot 51 percent (35-for-69) from the field - including 9-for-21 from 3-point distance.

November 29, 2018 Pete Hanna Center - - Birmingham, Ala. Belmont Bruins 43 39 17 99 Samford Bulldogs 39 43 11 93

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - - Behind 31 points and 11 rebounds from Dylan Windler, Belmont University men's basketball defeated Samford, 99-93, in overtime Thursday night to remain among the nation's unbeaten teams. Belmont (6-0) completes its first undefeated month of November since 1994-95 - a season in which the Bruins went 37-2 and ascended to No. 1 in the nation in NAIA. The Bruin bench provided a huge scoring punch, as 3-pointers from Michael Benkert and Nick Hopkins and a Muszynski putback basket pushed Belmont to a 28-19 advantage midway through the first half. The host Bulldogs responded with eight straight points before Windler stemmed the tide. Two more Hopkins 3-pointers in the final two minutes of the first half gave the Bruins a 43-39 lead at halftime. Belmont shot 42 percent (15-for-36) from the field in the opening 20 minutes - including 6-for-15 from 3-point distance. The Bruins outrebounded Samford, 26-19, in the first half. Hopkins led Belmont with 11 first half points. Two baskets from Caleb Hollander and a Windler wing 3-pointer got Belmont off to a positive start in the second half, but Samford was up to the task. Josh Sharkey and Myron Gordon matched Bruin scores as the Bulldogs got within 5049 with 16:28 left. Hopkins and Windler keyed another Belmont surge, combining on an electrifying 14 points over a three minute span as the Bruins claimed a 70-57 lead with 9:51 remaining. But as Belmont appeared poised to break free, Samford worked for some extra possessions off strong initial Bruin defense. A Kevion Nolan 3-pointer trimmed the margin to 70-65 with 8:00 left. Hollander provided two timely, stabilizing baskets thereafter, and when Hopkins buried his sixth 3-pointer Belmont took a 79-71 lead with 3:12 remaining. But a series of Belmont offensive rim outs and Samford free throws closed the margin. A Gordon runout basket got Samford within 79-76 with 1:58 left. Then after an exchange of defensive stops and monitor reviews, Grayson Murphy gathered a long rebound and freed Windler for a breakaway slam with 16 seconds left to give Belmont an 81-76 lead. Sharkey raced into the frontcourt and made a deep 3pointer with 11 seconds left to get Samford within two. Following a timeout, Belmont freed Hopkins, who was fouled with 10 seconds remaining. The sophomore calmly sank the front end of one-and-one free throws to extend the Belmont lead to three. His second free rimmed off, and Samford controlled the rebound. Nolan came free in the deep corner and made a 3-pointer with two seconds left to tie the score at 82, and force overtime. It was a somewhat deflating final sequence of events for Belmont, who had controlled much of the second half. But undeterred, Belmont simply went back to work, playing with toughness and poise. After a Hollander tip-in basket, Windler made a deep wing 3-pointer with 2:48 left in overtime to push Belmont to an 88-86 lead. Then after blocking a Robert Allen shot attempt, Windler scored a putback basket to increase the Bruin lead to four. Kevin McClain proceeded to deliver consecutive clutch offensive plays; a driving assist to Hollander and an acrobatic layin as Belmont led 94-89 with 1:18 left in overtime. A clutch Murphy drive made the score 96-91 with 36 seconds left in the extra session, and Windler added the final three points of the game. All told, Belmont shot 45 percent (36-for-80) from the field including 58 percent in overtime. The Bruins handed out 21 assists. Aside from his 31 points and 11 rebounds, Windler added three steals and two blocked shots. Hopkins added a season-high 21, while Hollander had 16 points and eight rebounds. McClain scored 11, with six rebounds and five assists.

GREEN BAY, Wis. - - Belmont University men's basketball dropped a 100-92 decision at Green Bay Saturday. Tough drives from Murphy and Kevin McClain established Belmont, but two straight 3-pointers from Kameron Hankerson and a ShanQuan Hemphill basket gave Green Bay a 31-22 lead with 9:03 left in the first half. Belmont responded with an inspired 20-4 run, fueled by active defense and rebounding. Two dunks from Nick Muszynski and a McClain putback basket gave Belmont a 42-35 lead with 3:49 left in the half. When Windler sank a wing 3-pointer, Belmont led 49-43 with 33 seconds left in the half. Sandy Cohen III hit a high arcing 3-pointer at the first half horn to trim the Belmont lead to 49-46 at halftime. Belmont shot 51 percent (21-for-41) from the field in the opening 20 minutes and committed only five first half turnovers. Consecutive driving baskets from Murphy stretched the Belmont lead back to 54-48 with 18:12 remaining. But in a game full of momentum swings, the Bruins shouldered one moments later; Belmont went empty on two free throws that would have stretched the margin to eight points before McCloud made a twisting 3-pointer to cut the Bruin lead to 54-51 with 17:20 left. Kameron Hankerson capped an 8-0 Green Bay response to give the hosts a 5654 lead with 15:46 left. The Bruins continued to punish the Phoenix inside, closing within 61-60 with 12:12 to go on a steal and score from Nick Hopkins. Belmont would tie on three more occasions, but a series of inexplicable rim outs around the basket and from 3-point distance kept the Bruins from stringing things together. Meanwhile, Green Bay used positive bench production to maintain a working margin. A lift from Derek Sabin preceded slams from Windler and Muszynski which tied the score at 75 with 6:44 left. From there, the Bruins had to endure another bizarre series of events; three missed layins during a 9-0 Green Bay run. Two PJ Pipes free throws made the score 84-75 with 4:39 remaining. Scores from Muszynski, Murphy and Windler got Belmont within 84-81 with 2:58 to go, but a short McCloud jump shot and two Cohen II free throws pushed the margin back to seven. Windler scored five quick points to answer free throws, but in a possession indicative of the game, Pipes had a contested baseline shot bound high on the rim twice and fall through to give Green Bay a 92-86 lead with 1:01 left. All told, Belmont shot 44 percent (37-for-84) from the field. The Bruins outrebounded Green Bay, 45-42. Windler led four Bruins in double figures with 31 points and 12 rebounds. Muszynski had 19 points, eight rebounds and five assists. McClain scored 13, while Murphy had 12 points and 10 assists.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - - Caleb Hollander hit a runner with 4.9 seconds remaining to lift Belmont University men's basketball to a thrilling 76-74 victory over Lipscomb Tuesday from the Curb Event Center. In arguably the biggest sequence of the game, the Bruins closed the half on a 13-4 run; seven quick points from Nick Muszynski and 3-pointers from Grayson Murphy and Michael Benkert got Belmont within 35-33 at halftime. After an exchange of defensive stops, McClain delivered a pocket pass to Muszynski for a layin and a 72-68 lead with 2:04 left. As if the game hadn't been high-drama enough, the final two minutes included enough courageous shot-making and heartstopping monitor reviews to last a lifetime. Marberry would be fouled in the act of shooting with 1:51 to go; after apparently missing his first free throw attempt, Belmont was whistled for a lane violation, which gave Marberry a reprieve. He took full advantage, sinking both free throws to cut Belmont's lead in half. From there, Belmont executed a Coach Byrd play to perfection, freeing Windler along the baseline for a thunderous slam and a 74-70 lead with 1:37 left. Moments later, Muszynski blocked a shot attempt from Michael Buckland, but Lipscomb regathered and found Marberry, who spun and scored for a potential 3-point play opportunity with 1:15 remaining. His free throw rimmed off and Belmont secured the rebound. Belmont proceeded to work the possession, Murphy drove and set up Muszynski, but his initial shot and putback attempt uncharacteristically rimmed off. Marberry would then deliver another bank shot through strong Bruin post defense to tie the score at 74 with 33 seconds left. Following a timeout, Murphy worked the ball into the Bruin frontcourt only to get his arms tangled up with Moran at the timeline. As the point guards battled for the loose ball, Moran gained possession and was granted a timeout by officials with 23 seconds left. Officials went to the replay monitor - potentially to assess a Flagrant 1 'hook and hold' foul against the either player - but the call stood and Lipscomb retained possession. The emotional plot twists continued, as on the subsequent inbounds play, Benkert and Windler trapped Moran along the near sideline, with the basketball going out of bounds. Officials deemed the ball deflected off Moran and awarded possession back to Belmont with 21 seconds left. With the shot clock off, Belmont worked the ball into the frontcourt, presumably for the final shot of regulation. But as expected, Lipscomb head coach Casey Alexander had something planned for his former head coach; the Bisons brought double teams to the basketball, forcing Belmont into a scramble situation. As the clock dipped under 10 seconds, Windler fed Muszynski in the post, who whipped a crosscourt pass to Hollander along the far wing. Hollander then shot faked and drove the lane, sinking a running 10-footer with 4.9 seconds remaining. With Belmont having to prepare for a number of play options - and perhaps expecting an action running nearer to Lipscomb inbounder Buckland - the Bisons freed Moran in the far corner. The point guard rose and shot what would have been the game-winning 3-pointer - from nearly the exact spot he had rimmed home a triple with 3:19 left. As the entire arena held its breath, the shot danced around the rim and fell off as the horn sounded. Muszynski led four Belmont players in double figures with 19 points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots. Murphy had 15 points, seven assists, four rebounds and three steals. Windler had 12 points, six rebounds, a career-high seven assists, two steals and two blocked shots. Benkert had a career-high 12.

LOS ANGELES - - Kevin McClain made a layin with 2.3 seconds left as Belmont University men's basketball defeated [rv/rv] 11-time National Champion UCLA, 74-72, Saturday from historic Pauley Pavilion. Grayson Murphy capped a 12-0 Belmont run with a 3-pointer of his own to tie the score at 29 with 8:12 left in the first half. Clutch layins from Kevin McClain and Murphy to close the first half got Belmont within 43-40 at halftime. As was the case throughout the afternoon, Belmont fought on and delivered major responses. A conventional 3-point play from Nick Muszynski and two free throws from Caleb Hollander narrowed the margin to four, 49-45, with 16:42 left. From there, Belmont produced some of its most inspired and unified team defense in recent memory, holding UCLA without a field goal for a seven-minute stretch midway through the second half. A Dylan Windler 3-pointer sparked a big Bruin run, with a Murphy teardrop layin getting Belmont within 59-56 with 9:42 left. Moments later, Windler would seize an open court steal and throw down a thunderous slam through a pair of recovering UCLA defenders to get Belmont within 65-64 with 4:39 left. Murphy buried a straight-on 3-pointer off a deft assist from McClain to give Belmont a 67-66 lead with 2:45 remaining. It was Belmont's first lead since 5-4. Windler and Muszynski teamed up on a seamless screen and roll slam to push Belmont back ahead 69-67 with 2:00 left. Following a short jumper from Jaylen Hands, Murphy found McClain free along the baseline for a score to put the visiting Bruins back on top by two with 1:25 to go. It was riveting theatre and Belmont was more than up to the task. Following a timeout, Hands stepped back and sank a deep 3-pointer with 32 seconds left to put UCLA back ahead 72-71. Murphy lofted a perfectly timed pass along the baseline to McClain who swooped in and scored at the basket with 2.3 seconds left to give Belmont a 73-72 edge. UCLA called timeout to draw up one final play, but Belmont defended the action well and Riley threw a pass out of bounds to give the Bruins possession. From there Belmont freed Hollander with 0.7 seconds remaining, and his one free throw make and intentional missed second free throw secured the final outcome. All told, Belmont shot 40 percent (27-for-68) from the field â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including 11-for-32 from 3-point distance. Belmont handed out 19 assists on 27 made field goals and the team matched UCLA in rebounding, 44-44. Belmont limited UCLA to four points in the paint in the second half. Aside from McClain's heroics, Windler added his fourth double-double of the season with 12 points and 15 rebounds. Murphy had 12 points, five rebounds and seven assists.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - - Behind 20 points and 11 rebounds from Dylan Windler, Belmont University men's basketball defeated Western Kentucky, 80-74, Wednesday night. A boisterous crowd of 4,124 from the Curb Event Center watched as Belmont continued momentum built throughout the non-conference, highlighted by Saturday's victory at UCLA. Consecutive 3-pointers from Windler and Caleb Hollander increased the Belmont lead to 20-13 with 9:03 left in the first half. After Tolu Smith got Western Kentucky within four, Windler and Nick Muszynski buried shots from long distance to give Belmont a 29-19 advantage. The Bruins also got quality bench production from Tate Pierson and Michael Benkert to extend the lead. A wing 3-pointer from Grayson Murphy gave Belmont a 42-28 halftime lead. Belmont shot 52 percent (17-for-33) from the field in the opening 20 minutes including 7-for-14 from 3-point distance. Meanwhile, the Bruins limited Western Kentucky to 35 percent shooting in the first half. Murphy continued his stellar play into the second half, as three 3-pointers in the first four minutes after halftime stretched the Belmont lead to 19, 55-36, with 15:53 remaining. And while the Bruins would follow with a Windler layin, a brief dry spell on clean looks against the Western Kentucky halfcourt zone enabled the Hilltoppers to work back into the game. Two Jared Savage free throws capped a 13-0 Western Kentucky run to make the score 57-51 with 11:14 remaining. Murphy delivered a timely 3pointer thereafter, and baskets from Hollander and Windler increased the Belmont lead back to double figures. Five straight points from McClain gave Belmont a 71-59 lead with 4:07 remaining. As Western Kentucky attempted a final push, consecutive layins from Seth Adelsperger made the score 75-65 with 1:33 left.

All told, Belmont shot 48 percent (30-for-63) from the field - including 11-for-25 from 3-point distance.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - - Belmont University men's basketball dropped a 73-62 decision at

62 73

[rv/--] Purdue Saturday. Sometimes percentages play out according to the scouting report; other times they make coaches and fans scratch their heads. Purdue, a talented, balanced, and disciplined Big Ten contender, entered Saturday's action allowing the opposition to shoot 38 percent from 3-

point distance - a fact that seemed to play into the favor of Belmont, annually among the nation's top 3-point shooting teams. But on this afternoon in Mackey Arena, Belmont would inexplicably miss 22 of its first 26 attempts from behind the arc, many of which were open in the semblance of the Bruin offense. Belmont rode its defense and rebounding to stay within striking distance before Purdue closed the first half on a scoring run to lead 40-24 at halftime. Nevertheless, despite enduring an uncharacteristically poor shooting game, the Bruins rode the strong all-court play of guards Grayson Murphy and Kevin McClain to flip the script. Nick Muszynski capped a spirited 14-0 run over a two-minute span to get Belmont within 57-48 with 7:38 left. That's when the percentages again went against the grain. Purdue guard Nojel Eastern - a career 38 percent free throw shooter who entered Saturday's play 3-for-12 from the stripe on the season - made six consecutive free throws down the stretch to sour Belmont's courageous comeback effort. Belmont got within 61-54 on a McClain 3pointer, and had two chances to close within four points, but the Bruins could get no closer. McClain led Belmont with 21 points, 18 in the second half. Muszynski had 14 points, five rebounds and three blocked shots.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - - Belmont University men's basketball dropped an 83-73 decision to Jacksonville State Thursday night. It was a difficult evening for the Bruins as shots rimmed off, bounces went the visiting Gamecocks' way, and a series of momentum swings kept Belmont from getting over the hump. Jacksonville State, entering play averaging five 3-point field goals per game on the season, made four shots from behind the arc in the opening four and a half minutes in building an early 16-10 lead. Belmont got strong performances from seniors Dylan Windler (Indianapolis, Ind.) and Kevin McClain (Jennings, Fla.), as a McClain conventional 3-point play got Belmont within 26-24 12 minutes in. But emblematic of the topsy-turvy game, the final sequence of the first half saw Belmont earn a defensive stop; yet as Windler turned upcourt to score, he was dispossessed, leading to a Detrick Mostella tip-slam at the buzzer. Jacksonville State led 40-32 at halftime. Inspired defense and team play got Belmont within 42-39 with 17:15 left on a coast-tocoast basket from freshman Grayson Murphy (Franklin, Tenn.). But Belmont just could not work into a rhythm, for seemingly at every turn Jacksonville State had an answer, riding the play of Jason Burnell and opportunism to maintain a working margin. After Windler got Belmont within 53-51 with 11:24 remaining, baskets from Burnell and Derek St. Hilaire pushed the margin back to six. A Murphy scoop shot and a Windler steal and slam made the score 64-60 with 4:10 remaining, as the passionate Curb Event Center crowd tried to will Belmont to the lead. But after a defensive stop, an unfortunate rim out at close range denied the Bruins from closing within two points. Ty Hudson then made two free throws to give the Gamecocks a 66-60 lead with 3:07 left. After McClain closed the margin to 68-65 with under two minutes to go, Jacksonville State broke through Belmont pressure defense. A massive collision and scrum at midcourt ensued, with Mostella sinking a baseline 3-pointer to push the Jacksonville State lead back to 71-65 with 1:49 left. The visitors used free throws in the final 80 seconds to secure the outcome. For Belmont, it was its first conference opening loss in a decade, just its third conference home setback in six-plus seasons in the Ohio Valley Conference, and just its ninth home setback since February 2010. Windler had 23 points, eight rebounds, three blocked shots and two steals. McClain had 21 points and six assists. Murphy added 14 points, six rebounds, six assists and three steals.

JACKSONVILLE, Ala. - - Belmont University men's basketball dropped a 91-80 decision in overtime at Jacksonville State Thursday night. The Bruins played with remarkable poise, precision and purpose in a virtuoso first half, marked by exceptional shooting, team rebounding and no turnovers in the opening 17-plus minutes of the game. Kevin McClain scored 16 first-half points, and when Seth Adelsperger scored a tip-in before the buzzer, Belmont closed the half on a 13-0 run to lead 4733 at halftime. But things turned early in the second half, as Ty Hudson and Jason Burnell made a series of contested shots to work Jacksonville State back into the game. A conventional 3-point play from Nick Muszynski gave Belmont a 61-48 lead with 13 minutes remaining, before a Jamal Gregory end-of-shot-clock banked 3-pointer fueled a Jacksonville State run. In fact, Gregory scored nine points in a oneminute stretch to trim Belmont's lead to 61-57. From there, Belmont used free throws to maintain a working margin before Burnell tied the game at 67 with 5:30 left. After Nick Hopkins put Belmont back on top, Jacksonville State took its first lead of the game with 3:05 left on a Burnell 3-pointer. Two baskets from Gregory increased the margin to five points, but Belmont responded. Two free throws from Dylan Windler, a defensive stop, and a Hopkins 3-pointer tied the score at 75 with 48 seconds left. After a Hudson miss and a Windler rebound, Belmont worked the final possession of regulation. Hopkins' 17-footer rimmed off and the game went to overtime. Windler gave Belmont an early lead in overtime with one free throw, but Burnell continued his all-court game and a Marlon Hunter putback gave Jacksonville State an 80-76 lead with 3:04 left in overtime. A Hudson 3-pointer and a Hunter baseline jumper pushed the margin to nine, 85-76, with 1:48 left in the extra period. After inspiring play throughout, Belmont simply could not find the range in the second half, shooting 26 percent from the field in the second half and overtime. Muszynski led four Belmont players in double figures with a career-high 23 points. McClain had 20 points, five rebounds and eight assists. Windler added 17 points and a season-high 17 rebounds.

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. - - Behind 33 points and 12 rebounds from senior All-America candidate Dylan Windler, Belmont University men's basketball defeated Austin Peay, 96-92, Saturday. Much was made of Belmont's virtual wire-to-wire victory Thursday night at Murray State, but the Bruin players and coaching staff knew that an equally formidable task awaited them less than 48 hours later. Belmont and Austin Peay exchanged offensive haymakers early, combining on 37 points before the first media timeout. Consecutive layins from Grayson Murphy gave Belmont a 19-16 lead. Both teams shot over 55 percent from the floor in the opening 20 minutes. After a short jumper from Nick Hopkins stemmed the tide, Givens buried another 3-pointer to give Austin Peay a 65-51 edge with 13:34 left. That's when Windler began one of the most impressive stretches of play in Belmont history, seemingly willing the Bruins over the top. A Windler assist to Hopkins started the run, and when the dust settled, Windler scored 20 consecutive points for Belmont in a six-minute stretch. The 6-8 guard/forward did it all: acrobatic reverse layins, offensive rebound putbacks, and his confident wing 3-pointer with 5:30 left punctuated the flurry and got the Bruins within 79-76. After a basket from Nick Muszynski, Murphy delivered a steal and conventional 3-point play to give Belmont an 81-79 lead with 4:34 remaining - its first lead since 19-18.

After an exchange of baskets, McClain finished a tough driving layin with 1:25 remaining to give Belmont an 89-87 lead. Then after a McClain steal, the senior found Nick Hopkins for a trailer 3-pointer with 59 seconds left to give the Bruins a five point lead. Belmont proceeded to get a defensive stop, but Taylor stole a hit-ahead pass as the Bruins were positioned to work clock. From there, Taylor scored a putback basket to get the Governors within three, 92-89, with 22 seconds left. Hopkins would push the Belmont lead back to five with two free throws with 17 seconds to go. Zach Glotta would then rim out a contested 3-pointer, but as the ball took an awkward bounce off the rim, Porter-Bunton snuck in and scored while being fouled. His conventional 3-point play got Austin Peay within 94-92 with 10.7 seconds left. After a secure inbounds pass, Muszynski was fouled with seven seconds remaining. He confidently made both free throws to secure the victory. All told, Belmont shot a season-high 63 percent (37-for-59) from the field - including 69 percent in the second half. Windler went 12-for-15 from the field to lead five Bruins in double figures.Murphy had 17 points and a career-high 15 assists - a Belmont NCAA Division I era single-game record.

the greatest performances in our program's NCAA Division I era," Belmont head coach Rick Byrd said.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - - Behind six double figure scorers, Belmont University men's basketball defeated SIU Edwardsville, 97-75, Saturday night. Belmont, which honored seniors Dylan Windler, Kevin McClain and Mack Mercer prior to the game, has won 117 of its last 126 home games. The Bruins needed an inspired effort from starters and reserves alike, as the visiting Cougars opened the

game in impressive fashion. A 3-pointer from post Brandon Jackson gave SIU Edwardsville a 32-22 lead 11 minutes in. But Belmont responded, scoring 30 of the final 41 points of the first half. Michael Benkert scored five straight points to give Belmont a 52-43 lead at halftime. From there, Belmont rode the post play of Nick Muszynski, who scored or assisted on 14 points in the first 5:20 of the second half. As the Bruin defense and rebounding intensified, consecutive driving layins from Grayson Murphy and McClain made the score 75-56 with 11:33 remaining. Belmont scored 52 points in the paint and 33 points off the bench. A 3pointer from Caleb Hollander stretched the margin to 24, 94-70, with 2:04 left. Muszynski led six Bruins in double figures with 19 points. Windler had 18 points, nine rebounds and four assists. Seth Adelsperger scored a career-high 14 points, while McClain and Benkert each had 13. Murphy added 11.

Windler, Belmont University men's basketball defeated UT Martin, 112-67, Thursday night. In one of the most impressive performances in recent memory, Belmont rode the strong post play of Nick Muszynski and unified team defense from the start. Belmont limited UT Martin to two field goals

in the first 10 and a half minutes, seizing a 28-4 lead on a 3-pointer from Nick Hopkins. Windler secured his 32nd career double-double in the first half, as Belmont shot 63 percent in the opening 20 minutes to lead 59-23 at halftime. The Bruins maintained their focus and purpose, as Windler and Muszynski combined on 18 points in the first six and a half minutes of the second half, leading 85-31 with 13:34 remaining. A 3-pointer from senior Kevin McClain made the score 94-36 with 11:34 left as Belmont reserves played much of the second half. Muszynski had 19 points and three blocked shots, while junior Michael Benkert added 12. Grayson Murphy established a new Belmont NCAA Division I era single-game record with 16 assists. Belmont handed out 31 assists on 42 made field goals.

CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO. - - Behind 27 points from Kevin McClain, Belmont University men's basketball defeated Southeast Missouri, 84-66, Saturday night. With the victory, Belmont earned its 10th regular season conference title in the last 14 seasons - a standard of achievement rivaled nationally only by Gonzaga and Kansas. It marks the Bruins' fifth regular season conference title in seven

seasons of Ohio Valley Conference membership. Senior All-America candidate Dylan Windler added 22 points and 11 rebounds for his 33rd career double-double. Belmont opened the game on a 10-1 run, holding Southeast Missouri without a field goal for over three minutes. Windler hit back-to-back 3-pointers to give the Bruins a 23-13 lead at the 11:11 mark. Nick Muszynski helped Belmont score 12 of the final 18 points of the first half and lead 45-28 at halftime. Southeast Missouri got within 64-52 with 8:23 remaining on a Ledarrius Brewer basket, but a Michael Benkert 3-pointer and four Belmont free throws pushed the margin back to 19. Muszynski had 10 points and three blocked shots, while freshman Grayson Murphy flirted with a triple-double before posting seven points, nine rebounds and 10 assists. Belmont handed out 20 assists on 30 made field goals and forced 16 Southeast Missouri turnovers. Belmont (25-4, 16-2 OVC), which ranks among national leaders with 12 true road victories, has won 13 consecutive games and earns the No. 1 seed in the upcoming OVC Tournament.

candidate Dylan Windler, Belmont University men's basketball defeated Austin Peay, 83-67, Friday in the 2019 OVC semifinal round to advance to the conference championship game. Austin Peay closed the first half on a 13-5 run to lead 43-40 at halftime, before Belmont methodically seized con-

trol in the second half. A Windler 3-pointer gave Belmont a 50-49 lead with 14:51 remaining, and the Bruins would not trail thereafter. After Austin Peay tied the score at 54, Belmont limited the Governors to two made field goals over a six minute stretch. An offensive rebound basket from Seth Adelsperger gave Belmont a 70-60 lead with 6:44 left. But Windler was the story, scoring from all angles and securing innumerable defensive rebounds. He tallied 19 points and 14 rebounds in the second half. Belmont outrebounded Austin Peay, 46-30, and held the Governors to 29 percent shooting in the second 20 minutes. Kevin McClain had 20 points, while Nick Muszynski added 11. Grayson Murphy had eight points, five rebounds and 11 assists.

conference tournament title in 14 years, but were denied in the final three minutes by Murray State, 77-65, Saturday in the OVC Championship. Belmont, playing without OVC Freshman of the Year and All-OVC First Team center Nick Muszynski due to an ankle injury sustained in Friday's OVC

semifinal victory over Austin Peay, nevertheless demonstrated its trademark poise and resiliency leading 31-26 at halftime. Playing through foul difficulty to Seth Adelsperger and different frontcourt rotations sparked by Derek Sabin and Caleb Hollander, the Bruins weathered Murray State runs and a series of its own inexplicable 3-point rim outs on shots halfway down. In a game that featured two ties and 15 lead changes, senior All-America candidate Dylan Windler again showcased his all-court game, giving Belmont a 63-62 lead with 3:34 remaining. But Murray State closed the game on a 15-2 run behind the play of Ja Morant. Belmont had a 3-point attempt from Nick Hopkins to tie with 1:25 remaining miss, and Tevin Brown answered with a contested end-of-shot-clock wing 3-pointer of his own to give Murray State a 71-65 lead with 56 seconds remaining. The final score would not be indicative of a game that was within a margin of one or two possessions throughout. Windler led Belmont with 17 points, 12 rebounds and five assists. Kevin McClain had 14 points, seven rebounds and four assists. Grayson Murphy had 10. Windler and McClain were named to the All-Tournament Team. Belmont (26-5), which won its 10th regular season conference title in 14 years and entered on a 14-game win streak, will learn of its postseason fate Sunday, March 17.

March 19, 2019 UD Arena - - Dayton, Ohio [rv/--] Temple Owls 31 Belmont Bruins 37

DAYTON, Ohio - - Behind 29 points from Kevin McClain, Belmont University men's basketball defeated Temple, 81-70, in the first four of the 2019 NCAA Men's Basketball Championship. It was an emotional night - and decades in the making for head coach Rick Byrd and scores of players past and present - as Belmont secured its first NCAA Tournament victory in program history, in its eighth overall appearance. After Temple scored the game's first basket, Belmont scored eight unanswered points, capped by a transition 3-pointer from Michael Benkert. Muszynski stabilized things for Belmont midway through the first half, with Belmont reclaiming a 25-24 lead on a McClain driving basket. As Belmont limited Temple to three field goals the final 8:58 of the half, another McClain dash to the basket gave Belmont a 37-31 lead at halftime. After a Muszynski blocked shot, Windler found Benkert in transition for a baseline 3-pointer that pushed the Bruin lead to nine, 40-31, with 19:27 left. Following another defensive stop, Muszynski added a determined post score to increase the margin to 11. The Belmont players, bench and support section in University of Dayton Arena were sensing a big Bruin run. But in a flash, Temple had other ideas, and momentarily, flipped the script. Quinton Rose and Shizz Alston, Jr. led the Owls on a 10-0 run to close within 42-41 with 15:01 remaining. Muszynski scored twice in succession to get Belmont back on track, but Temple capped the burst on a Nate Pierre-Louis basket to lead 52-47 with 11:24 to go. A McClain offensive rebound putback basket sparked Belmont once again, and from there, the Bruins would not look back. A Benkert straight-on 3-pointer off a perfectly timed Muszynski feed highlighted the 9-0 Belmont response and gave the Bruins a 56-52 advantage with 8:51 left. After a Pierre-Louis conventional 3-point play, freshman Adam Kunkel (Hebron, Ky.) delivered one free throw and Nick Hopkins added a courageous 3-pointer to push the margin back to five, 60-55, with 6:56 remaining. As Belmont strung defensive stops together, McClain buried a top-of-the-key 3-pointer to give the Bruins an eight point lead. Another clutch Muszynski post move at the 4:26 mark made the score 65-57, as Belmont held Temple to one field goal during a six minute stretch strong situational team basketball - and 9-for-10 free throw shooting from McClain in the final 3:11 - secured the outcome. As the final seconds ticked away, it was a flood of emotion for the Belmont players and coaching staff, and pure joy ensued as the horn sounded. All told, Belmont shot 53 percent (28-for-53) from the field - including 9-for-23 from 3-point distance. Aside from McClain's 29 points, Muszynski added 16 points, four rebounds, three assists and two blocked shots. Windler had a game-high 14 rebounds, while Murphy had nine points, six rebounds and six assists.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - - It ended too soon. A fingernail away from the Round of 32. Despite 35 points and 11 rebounds from senior All-America candidate Dylan Windler, Belmont University men's basketball dropped a 79-77 decision to Maryland Thursday in the 2019 NCAA Tournament from VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena. Still riding a wave of energy and momentum from Selection Sunday and Tuesday's inspiring victory over Temple in Dayton, Belmont led from the opening tip. Nick Muszynski capped a 10-0 Belmont run that gave the Bruins a 26-14 lead 11 minutes in. Riding strong team defense and the play of Windler and Kevin McClain, Belmont led 40-34 at halftime. Maryland would score the first 14 points of the second half to claim a 48-40 lead, but Belmont responded in kind. Dealing with foul trouble to Grayson Murphy, Muszynski and Seth Adelsperger, Belmont nevertheless fought on with resilient play. Windler put on a dazzling display of perimeter shooting and determined finishes at the rim, willing Belmont back. In a game featuring four ties and nine leads changes, Belmont seized a 51-50 lead on a Windler 3-pointer. Maryland went back on top before consecutive rim-rocking slams from Adelsperger put Belmont ahead 57-56 and sent the partisan Bruin crowd into a frenzy. After battling Bruno Fernando and Jalen Smith inside, four straight Windler points made the score 67-60 with 6:58 to go. But a series of strange bounces and difficult sequences kept Maryland alive. After a Windler backdoor slam, Belmont got a stern blocked shot from Muszynski on a Fernando post move; but in the mass scrum for the loose ball, Jalen Smith completed a conventional 3-point play slam to give Maryland a 77-73 lead with 1:43 remaining. Following an exchange of free throws, Muszynski buried a wing 3-pointer to get Belmont within 78-77 with 59 seconds left. Belmont proceeded to get a defensive stop and held for the final shot to win the game. But as Grayson Murphy looked to feed Windler on a backdoor play, Eric Ayala got a deflection which led to Maryland possession. Darryl Morsell increased Maryland's lead to two points with under three seconds remaining with one free throw. Morsell proceeded to miss the second free throw, and Windler's final shot from near midcourt to win narrowly missed. Belmont committed only five turnovers. McClain added 19 points and six rebounds. Belmont's historic season ends at 27-6. Windler, McClain and Mack Mercer conclude their Belmont careers with 94 victories.

OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE

OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE PROFILE Now in its 72nd year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation's eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. For just the second time in league history (the other being 1987), the OVC placed two teams in the NCAA Tournament in 2019, as Murray State won the OVC Tournament crown for the secondstraight season and Belmont earned an at-large bid after going 26-5 overall (16-2 OVC) with a NET ranking of 47. As a No. 11 seed, Belmont would top Temple in the Opening Round in Dayton (its first-ever NCAA Tournament victory) before narrowly falling to Maryland in the next round, while No. 12 seed Murray State crushed Marquette 83-64 in the first round (the second-biggest margin of victory ever by a 12 seed over a No. 5 seed in tournament history) before losing to Florida State. It marked the first time since 1971 that the OVC had two wins in the same NCAA Tournament and marked the first time two different OVC teams won a tournament game in the same year. 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).

The 1994-95 Belmont Rebels finished the season 37-2, losing only to NCAA Division I Tournamentbound Western Kentucky and eventual NAIA National Champions, Birmingham-Southern. 1994-95 remains Belmont’s winningest year in men’s basketball history. This is the only Belmont team to ever be ranked number one in the country in NAIA. On the heels of a second straight trip to the Final Four, Head coach Rick Byrd was selected as the NAIA Coach of the Year.

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.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS SCOTT CORLEY Scott Corley is in his fourth year as director of athletics at Belmont University. Corley was named to the position by Belmont President Dr. Robert Fisher on May 31, 2016 after a stint as a senior vice president of corporate banking at FirstBank. A 1990 Belmont graduate and one of the most decorated student-athletes in program history, Corley succeeds Mike Strickland, who retired in June 2016 after leading the Bruin program for 20 years. This past academic year, the Bruin program saw men's basketball earn an NCAA Tournament atlarge berth and victory over Temple in March Madness, women's basketball secure a historic fourth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance, and men's tennis claim a second consecutive OVC championship - with the men's doubles pair of Hendrik Inno and Marko Ilic advancing to the NCAA Championship Round of 16. Belmont once again claimed the conference academic trophy, marking the 16th time in the last 18 years, dating back to the Atlantic Sun Conference. The Bruin program was also awarded the OVC Institutional Sportsmanship Award, the fourth such honor in Belmont's seven-year OVC history. 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). 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. 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. 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. 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. 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’s astonishing mark of 420 made three-pointers may never be broken. 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. 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. “Scott clearly understands the Belmont University athletic environment and standard of excellence on all fronts,” Belmont University Faculty Athletics Representative Dr. Rich Tiner said. “From his own experience as a Belmont student-athlete who excelled both on the court and in the classroom, he knows first-hand how important it is that we maintain that balance—what I call ‘The Belmont Way.’ We all look forward to working with Scott and adding a new chapter to our proud tradition.” “As a student-athlete, Scott was a model for what we hope for in all of our student-athletes--an outstanding talent for our men's basketball team, an Academic All-American, and a young man holding high ethical standards of conduct,” Fisher added. A native of Brentwood, Tennessee, Corley is married to the former Keely Gourley. The couple has two children, Karson and Kennedy.

Corley is one of only eight players in the history of Belmont Basketball to score over 2,000 career points, ranking sixth all-time (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),

BRUIN CLUB WHAT IS THE BRUIN CLUB? The Bruin Club is Belmont's organization of alumni and friends that provide support for the university's 17 athletic teams and the student-athletes who make up those teams. Belmont claimed 36 conference championships and nine academic championships during its 11 years in the Atlantic Sun Conference. The tradition continued in the Ohio Valley Conference in 2012-13, with menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball and volleyball claiming championships in year one. In just four short years in the OVC, Belmont has established new standards for academic achievement and sportsmanship. Your membership gift will help contribute to the future success of our student-athletes. Sixty-five percent of every membership dollar goes directly to athletic scholarships, 20% goes to enhance Belmont's athletic programs, and 15% is applied towards maintaining the Curb Event Center. We need your continued help and support more and more each year as Belmont athletes strive to get to the next level. Help us by becoming an integral part of Belmont - join the Bruin Club.

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.
