(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.

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
