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.

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
