(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.

I haven't heard, nor do I know, how does this apply to the typical 'foreign' basketball player that is most often over 19?
Obviously, this is a sentimental and not a ‘spreadsheet’ notion, but would hate to see @MVCsports change the #ArchMadness format from the traditional ‘family reunion’ feel by cutting teams from the experience. #FatherHarry
Another nice @MVCsports basketball schedule announcement. #FatherHarry . .
Congrats to @ISURedbirdGolf. T.J. Barger sets a school record. Pietro Pontiggia records the Redbirds' second-ever top 20 finish at a regional. The team finishes tent in the region which is tied for the program's best regional finish! #FatherHarry
