(St. Louis, MO) – Great Lakes Valley Conference teams and players are gaining national reputations. Two GLVC teams are ranked in the Division 2 top ten predictions by “Sporting News“. Bellarmine is ranked fourth and defending national champion Drury is seventh.
Bellarmine’s Vance Hall is a first team, preseason all-american with honorable mentions going to Ryan Jackson (Lewis), Orlando Rutledge (Southern Indiana) and Asa Toney (Maryville).
CBS recently announced that the January 25th game between Maryville and Drury will be nationally televised on CBS Sports Network. The national champions will host that game at O’Reilly Family Event Center in Springfield.
The GLVC’s growing reputation as one of the best Division 2 basketball conferences has been bolstered as conference teams have won two of the last three D-2 championships and have sent a team to championship game three of the last four years.

Opening round of #ArchMadness is today. The only quarterfinal we know is @UIC_MBB v @RacersHoops tomorrow at 2:30. We look at their contrasting styles heading into the @MVCsports tournament. #FatherHarry
Don't look now, but @BustingBrackets tells us some of the hottest teams coming into #ArchMadness aren't the teams at the top of the bracket. @ValpoBasketball, @SIU_Basketball & @UNImbb shouldn't be overlooked. #FatherHarry
ICYMI: @BelmontMBB & @BradleyUMBB are two of the best at being committed to development and succeeding at the same time. #ArchMadness
Congrats to @RogerPowellJr, @CoachJonny_B & @NdotSmitty being named to the Ben Jobe Award finalist list. Well deserved!
