Bruins Face Drake
(St. Louis, MO) – Belmont fans and coaches aren’t surprised to be playing in the Arch Madness semifinals, but they are excited. Announcers are no different. Belmont’s Steve Layman tells us the Bruin faithful are also relieved to be playing on Saturday in St. Louis.
After two years of frustration, Friday the Bruins won their first-ever, Missouri Valley Conference postseason tournament game. Casey Alexander’s squad played well in their last two Arch Madness appearances, but dropped narrow decisions. There was a collective ‘sigh of relief’ across Bruin nation when Friday’s victory was secured.
Head here for our full report on that game and today’s matchup with Drake.
Our full conversation with Belmont’s Steve Layman can be heard at Valley Hoops Insider Podcasts.
Game time is set for 2:30 (Central) and can be seen on CBS Sports Network.

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
