Belmont Bruins

The Belmont Bruins play at the Curb Event Center in Nashville, competing in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Bruins have been one of the most consistent mid-major programs in the country. Belmont's red, white, and blue colors and Nashville location create a strong identity.

Belmont has made nine NCAA Tournament appearances and consistently competed for conference titles under Rick Byrd and Casey Alexander. The Bruins have pulled off multiple first-round tournament upsets. Belmont moved to the Missouri Valley from the Ohio Valley Conference in 2022, elevating their competition.
