Sustained Excellence in Nashville
(St. Louis, MO) – Belmont has won at least nineteen games for 19 straight seasons. Only Gonzaga, Kansas and San Diego State can also make that claim. If the Bruins win a game at Arch Madness, they will have won twenty games for the fourteenth straight season.
Head coach Casey Alexander played and coached at Belmont under the legendary Rick Byrd. After coaching stints at Stetson and Lipscomb he ‘came home’ and has led the Bruin program for the past five seasons.
The Bruins (19-12, 12-8) play Valparaiso in Thursday’s opening round of the Missouri Valley Conference men’s basketball tournament. We spoke with coach Alexander about the Valley, his team’s transition from the Ohio Valley Conference, his current roster and even a little Cubs/Cardinals rivalry.
Enjoy our interview with Casey Alexander
The Bruins and Beacons meet at 2:30 p.m. and the game can be heard on St. Louis radio on The Big 550 KTRS. Join Kevin Lehman and me for the game.

Three more road wins so far in @ValleyHoops as @BradleyUMBB @BelmontMBB & @UIC_MBB capture road wins. Looks like @DrakeBulldogsMB will do so too. #FatherHarry
Well @RacersWBB followed the men's example and swept Iowa in the @ValleyHoops race! Racers are 6-1 & if @BelmontWBB holds on to their Iowa sweep, the Bruins and Racers will be tied for first. What a trip for those two teams! #FatherHarry
After today's action, @EIUWBB is 8-0 in @OVCSports play. 4 teams @usiwbb @TTUWBB @LRTrojans @LindenwoodWBB are tied at 6-2. Six other teams are under .500. Great race to the finish lies ahead. #FatherHarry
Really entertaining game between @BelmontMBB & @UEAthletics_MBB. Under four minutes left in a one point game. Gabriel Pozzato back in the Aces' lineup. Rogers is playing like I've expected. Triples are dropping. It's fun and @kylejpeach bringing it on #ThePlus #FatherHarry
