Women’s Basketball Coach Has His Team Rolling
(West Africa) – Belmont’s Bart Brooks averages over twenty-four wins per season and this year his Bruins have knocked off three ‘money conference’ teams and have won four straight games. Wednesday Belmont’s women’s basketball team won its rivalry game the ‘Battle of the Boulevard’ against Lipscomb.
Despite losing last year’s top two scorers to ‘money conference’ schools via the portal, this season’s team boasts of five double-digit scorers in the starting lineup. During the first four weeks of the season, Jailyn Banks twice has been named the Valley’s ‘Freshman of the Week‘ and earlier this week Kilyn McGuff was named ‘Player of the Week‘. While McGuff’s 14 rebound game Wednesday pushed her into the team lead in rebounding (7.1 per game), two other players lead the team in scoring and assists.
Those titles belong to Tessa Miller (13.7 ppg) and Tuti Jones (4.4 assists per game).

Good officiating in the @SEMOMBB/@SIUEMBB in a little late game dust up.
