One on One with Belmont’s Bart Brooks

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).

Playing the point at @UEAthletics_MBB is @EKUHoops transfer Tayshawn Comer. The @ValleyHoops squad opens its season on Tuesday, but we wanted to get to know Comer now. Here is our conversation. #ValleyRunsDeep #NCAAHoops

Graphic from @NateSilver538. As a 'news watcher' this is one of the most fascinating elections to watch. I don't truly like either candidate, so that makes it less exciting, but as a 'news oriented' person, this is incredible theater.
