(St. Louis, MO) – It’s ‘deja vu all over again‘ for the Belmont Bruins. For the second straight year, the Bruins won the Ohio Valley Conference regular season championship only to lose in the semi-finals of Music City Madness and end up in the National Invitation Tournament. For consecutive seasons the Bruins (22-6) will play their opening round game against the Georgia Bulldogs.
The postseason appearance is Belmont’s eleventh in the past 12 seasons. Georgia (19-14) defeated Belmont in last year’s NIT.
OVC ‘Player of the Year‘ Evan Bradds leads Belmont in scoring and rebounding (20.6 points and 8.6 rebounds per game) and leads the Bruin’s into Wednesday’s 6:00 pm tip at Stegeman Coliseum. Fans can watch the game on ESPN3. Georgia counters with two 18-point-per-game players in J.J. Frazier and Yante Maten who scored a career high 33 points in last year’s Bulldog win over Belmont.
