PRETTY EXCLUSIVE COMPANYBelmont University men's basketball has been ranked as the No. 7 college basketball program in America,according to Basketball Times in its 'Top Programs' edition for 2017. Basketball Times, the official publica-tion of the United States Basketball Writers Association of America (USBWA), every five years undertakesan exhaustive comparative analysis of college basketball programs. The initial standard for considerationis winning at least two-thirds of all games played over the past 10 seasons, which narrowed 351 NCAADivision I programs to 35. From there, Basketball Times used six equally weighted criteria: winning per-centage, number of NBA players, federal graduation rate, U.S. News & World Report academic peerassessment, program cleanliness, and head coach ranking. The criteria are subjective, but discreet pollsare designed to reduce individual bias. Points were awarded on a sliding scale, from 35 points for a first-place vote to one point for a last-place vote, with 350 being the highest possible cumulative score.Basketball Times created a 10-member panel of the most experienced and respected college basketballjournalists in the country: Nicole Auerbach, Rick Bozich, Ken Davis, Blair Kerkhoff, Angela Lento, MikeLopresti, Randy McClure, Kevin McNamara, Mike Waters and Dick "Hoops" Weiss. As anticipated,Belmont scored well across the board, including first in federal graduation rate, fourth in program clean-liness, 10th in head coach ranking, and 11th in USNWR academic peer assessment. Belmont's overallranking of seventh is up four spots from the 2012 Basketball Times report.

THANKS FOR EVERYTHINGBelmont’s graduating seniors in 2017 - Evan Bradds, Taylor Barnette, Nick Smith and Josh Lester - accom-plished a great deal in their careers, elevating the Bruin program to a new level of prominence. The quar-tet combined for an astonishing four years: 91 victories, four consecutive OVC championships, oneNCAA Tournament appearance, three Postseason NIT appearances and victories over North Carolina,Marquette, Georgia and nationally-ranked Murray State. Bradds became the first Belmont student-athleteto earn Associated Press All-America and CoSIDA Academic All-America honors twice.

SUSTAINED EXCELLENCEIn Belmont Basketball, Coach Byrd has built a program with staying power. Some of the accomplish-ments of the Bruin program are staggering, almost hard-to-believe, when you consider that Belmont hasonly been NCAA Division I since 1996-97. In addition to the Page 1 ‘Program Profile’ bullet points, con-sider:

• Belmont enters the 2017-18 season as one of only three NCAA Division I men’s basketball programsto earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament seven of the last 12 years (Gonzaga, Kansas).



• Belmont enters the 2017-18 season as one of only seven non-Power 5 programs to post a Top 100 RPIeach of the last six seasons (BYU, Gonzaga, St. Mary’s (CA), San Diego State, VCU, Wichita State).

• Belmont has won 16 conference championships (nine regular season, seven tournament) since 2006;third-most nationally over that span (Kansas, Gonzaga).

• From 2003-14, Belmont and Kansas were the only two programs in America that won 12 or more con-ference games for 12 straight seasons.

• Since 1997, starting with Belmont, 52 schools have started Division I programs. Only 13 have reachedthe NCAA Tournament. Just five - Belmont (seven), Albany (five), FGCU (three), Oakland (three), andPortland State (two) - have made multiple trips.

GOLDEN STATE OF MINDFormer Belmont men's basketball All-American Ian Clark ('13) earned a regular season roster spot on theNBA New Orleans Pelicans and embarks on year five in the association. Clark won an NBAChampionship ring with the Golden State Warriors in 2017. In the regular season, Clark appeared in 77games, averaging 6.8 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. He shot 49 percent from the field and37 percent from 3-point distance. Clark ranked fifth among all NBA shooting guards in field goal percent-age, 15th in true shooting percentage (.575) and averaged 22.2 points per 48 minutes. In a league ladenwith household names from high-profile, high revenue college programs, Clark continues to defy theodds; letting his pure outside shooting stroke, all-court game, and professional approach speak for itself.The Memphis, Tennessee native led Belmont to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances andfour consecutive regular season conference championships, standing as Belmont's NCAA Division I eracareer leader in points (1,920) and made three-point field goals (340). After strong performances in thePortsmouth Invitational and Orlando NBA Summer League for the Miami Heat, Clark latched on withthe Golden State Warriors for 2013 Vegas NBA Summer League. Clark would score a then-record 33points in the championship game, leading Golden State past Phoenix en route to Championship GameMost Valuable Player honors. Though Clark would ultimately agree to a two-year deal with the UtahJazz, his impression upon the Golden State organization was undeniable. After closing last season withthe Denver Nuggets – and shining with the team from the Mile High City in summer league – Clark andGolden State got together. But emblematic of his career journey, nothing would be handed to Clark; hewould have to earn a regular season roster spot. And that meant beating out a collection of accomplishedperimeter players from major conference programs, including former NCAA champion and No. 3 overallpick Ben Gordon. Clark is close friends with Stephen Curry and was part of Curry’s pre-game warmupantics. He scored a career-high 36 points at San Antonio March 11.

CURBSIDE VIEWIn 13 short seasons, the Curb Event Center has gained a national reputation as being one of the finest newfacilities in college basketball. Since the inaugural 2003-04 season, Belmont is 169-27 (.862) at the CurbEvent Center. Moreover, the Bruins are 119-14 (.895) in league games at the Curb Event Center. Belmonthad its NCAA-best 35 game conference home court win streak snapped Feb. 6, 2016 vs. Eastern Kentucky.Belmont posted an NCAA-best home court winning percentage (.962, 51-2) from 2011-14. The Bruins hadtheir NCAA-best 23 game home court win streak snapped Dec. 1, 2013 against No. 24 VCU. Since Feb. 5,2010, only Kentucky and Kansas have better home court winning percentages than Belmont.

ON THE ROAD AGAINLike many non-BCS conference men’s basketball programs, Belmont will spend a fair amount ofNovember and December away from home. One of the Bruins’ greatest sources of pride is a trademark ofthe top college basketball programs - consistent success away from home. Entering 2017-18, Belmont’sremarkable 143 road/neutral victories since 2006 ranks sixth nationally, ahead of the likes of past NationalChampions Florida and Michigan State.

LET IT FLYBelmont has made a national name for itself in recent years by way of its prolific three-point shooting.Belmont Basketball has ranked in the Top 10 nationally in 3-point field goals made per game 14 of the last19 years. The Bruins ranked seventh nationally last season. Belmont Basketball has ranked in the Top 25nationally in 3-point field goals made per game every year but one since becoming an NCAA Division-Imember institution in 1996. In addition, Belmont has ranked Top 15 nationally in effective field goal per-centage each of the last seven seasons. Ian Clark (’13) graduated as the program’s NCAA era career leaderin made 3-point field goals (340). He also ranked third nationally in 3-point percentage in 2012-13, earneda spot in the Hampton Hotels National 3-Point Championships at the 2013 Final Four in Atlanta, and setthe Great Alaska Shootout single-game record for made 3-point field goals with nine againstNortheastern. As fate would have it, director of athletics Scott Corley (’90) made 420 career 3-pointers.The Bruin single-game record is 19 made three-point field goals (at Valparaiso, 1/10/00 and at Troy,12/2/04). And since Belmont made the move from NAIA to NCAA Division I in 1996-97, the Bruins ranksecond nationally in made three-point field goals over that span. Only Duke has made more. The Bruinsset a program record with 14 3s in the first half vs. UT Martin (1/5/17).

Belmont wasalso ranked in every Mid-Major Poll in 2011-12, finishing the season No. 15. Belmont's highest ranking inthe poll was No. 2 on Mar. 7, 2011, when the Bruins also received two first-place votes, and Feb. 4, 2013.Belmont is also a regular in mid-major rankings on ESPN.com, CBSSports.com, Bleacher Report, and MidMajor Madness (which includes conferences outside the Power 5, Big East, MW, AAC).

TAYLOR MADE FOR BELMONTOne of the most eagerly anticipated Bruin debuts in 2015 was Taylor Barnette. And boy was it worth thewait. Barnette sank the go-ahead three-pointer with under four minutes vs. Eastern Kentucky in the OVCSemifinal round (3/6/15) and hit the game-winning three-pointer with 3.2 seconds remaining vs. MurrayState in the OVC Championship game (3/7/15). Barnette was named OVC Tournament MVP and ESPNCapital One Impact Performer for the month of March. The Lexington, Ky. native considered coming toBelmont out of high school, but Coach Byrd had only one backcourt scholarship at the time. The scholar-ship was offered to Barnette and Craig Bradshaw, with Bradshaw committing first. As fate would have it,the pair is now brought together. Barnette proceeded to verbal at UCF (decommitting after UCF sanc-tions) and signed with the University of Virginia. Barnette saw action in 26 games and started two gamesfor the Cavaliers as a freshman, averaging 2.6 points, 0.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. He rankedsecond on the team in 3-point shooting accuracy at 43.2 percent. Barnette sat out last season in accordancewith NCAA transfer rules. The 6-3 combo guard was a four-year starter at Lexington Christian Academy,sinking a school-record 226 three-point field goals during his career and had a school-record 40 points ina game. He was voted the No. 2 player in the region prior to his senior season. Barnette ranked second inthe OVC in made three-point field goals (84) last season and had a career-high 28 points at Austin Peay(12/31/16). Barnette faced his former coach, Tony Bennett, and his former team, Virginia, in the 2015NCAA Tournament. Barnette scored 20 points at Pepperdine (12/3/16) and hit the game-winning shot atLipscomb (12/6/16). He went over 1,000 career points at Jacksonville State (2/9/17).

BRADDS TO THE BONEEvan Bradds was a rock of consistency for Belmont. Most notably, Bradds led the Bruins to 91 victoriesand four consecutive OVC championships. He finished his career fourth all-time in NCAA history in fieldgoal percentage (.667) after leading the nation in that category as a sophomore and junior. In fact, Bradds’.714 field goal percentage as a junior is the top shooting season by any college junior in college basketballhistory. Bradds set a new conference standard by shooting nearly 76 percent from the field in leaguegames in 2014-15. An interior threat throughout his career, Bradds was an original verbal commitment toOhio University prior to John Groce’s departure for Illinois. Bradds’ grandfather Gary was an All-American at Ohio State and had his No. 35 retired by the Buckeyes. Mr. Bradds was selected No. 3 overallby the Baltimore Bullets in the 1964 NBA Draft. Bradds became the first Belmont student-athlete to earnAP All-America and CoSIDA Academic All-America honors twice. No. 35 ended his Belmont career asthe program’s NCAA Division I era leader in points (1,921) and rebounds (920). Bradds took part in theReece’s College All-Star Game at the 2017 Final Four in Glendale, Arizona and was a finalist for the JuliusErving Player of the Year Award. Bradds was among the most efficient players ever tracked by noted stat-istician Ken Pomeroy, scoring in double figures 98 times. Bradds suffered a broken nose and torn ACL ina pre-draft workout with the NBA Indiana Pacers. Bradds now serves as an assistant coach with theBoston Celtics’ NBA G-League affiliate, the Maine Red Claws. Bradds has also been a contributor to ThePlayers’ Tribune and MidMajorMadness.com.

THE BOOK OF LUKESenior point guard Austin Luke is once again expected to rank among the top orchestrators in the nation.Luke ranked second in the NCAA in assists per game last season (7.1). After providing quality depth atthe point guard position for Reece Chamberlain in 2014-15, the Rowlett, Texas native proved ready to runthe show. Coach Byrd praised Luke’s play during Belmont’s foreign tour of England and Ireland inAugust 2015. The latest in a long line of Bruin floor generals, with hard-nosed play and an unselfish men-tality, Luke is a three-year starter. Luke was a three-time Texas 5A All-District 11 honoree. Luke saw greatprogress working with assistant coach James Strong and other redshirts last season. He had six points vs.JSU (1/29/15) and made a clutch driving basket in Belmont’s victory over Southeast Missouri (1/1/15).Luke had two assists in eight minutes in the NCAA Tournament vs. Virginia (3/19/15). In his first careerstart, Luke had nine assists and only one turnover, and provided the go-ahead free throws with 28 sec-onds left at Marquette (11/13/15). Luke had nine points and a then career-high 11 assists vs. WesternKentucky (11/18/15). He tallied his first career double-double with a season-high 20 points and 11 assistsvs. Tennessee State (1/24/16). Luke had 13 games of 8+ assists last season en route to All-OVC honors.Luke has been profiled on NCAA.com and Blue Ribbon. He scored a career-high 26 points vs. Seattle(11/19/17) and 25 vs. SIUE (1/27/18). Luke is Belmont’s NCAA Division I era career assist leader.

THE MAD HADDENSenior center Tyler Hadden gives Belmont much needed depth and interior presence. The Cincinnati,Ohio native possesses high skill level and shooting touch, that fits the Bruin profile for versatile bigs.Hadden used last season to develop his game and get comfortable in the Belmont system, working inparticular with Belmont post coach Brian Ayers. He has 76 game appearances. He scored a career-high 17points and eight rebounds vs. Eastern Illinois (1/25/18). Hadden scored 15 points at Morehead State(2/3/18), 12 points at Eastern Kentucky (2/1/18) and had five impactful points vs. Seattle (11/19/17).

THE A-TO-Z ON ZAYJunior forward Amanze Egekeze (uh-MAHN-zay egg-uh-KAY-zay) filled a huge frontcourt need for theBruins in is first two seasons and should emerge as a greater offensive cog this season. A four-year letter-winner at Huntley High School for head coach Marty Manning, Egekeze emerged as one of the top prepplayers in northwest Chicago. He was named Northwest Herald and Elgin Courier-News Player of theYear. Egekeze helped Huntley HS to four consecutive conference championships and the most victories inschool history (89-26 in four seasons). Egekeze averaged 18.7 points and 8.8 rebounds per game as a sen-ior, finishing with 1,115 career points. He played AAU basketball for Illinois Wolves coached by MikeMullins. Exhibiting poise and maturity beyond his years, Egekeze was Belmont’s top post defender andshot blocker in 2014-15. He had a season-high 16 points vs. JSU (1/29/15) and tallied eight points and fourrebound in the NCAA Tournament vs. Virginia (3/19/15). Egekeze was named Legends Classic All-Tournament Team. He had 13 double figure games in ‘16 including a career-high 26 points and 10rebounds vs. JSU (1/19/17). Egekeze had a career-high 32 points and 11 rebounds vs. Milwuakee(12/13/17), 24 points at MTSU (11/16/17), 22 points and seven rebounds vs. Vanderbilt (11/13/17) and hitthe go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:04 remaining at Western Kentucky (12/19/17).

THE BEST SAMPSON SINCE RALPHBelmont senior Burton Sampson has a unique, heartwarming student-athlete story. After playing two sea-sons as a walk-on for Coach Byrd, he earned a scholarship as a junior. Yet just as his opportunity and rolewas set to increase, Sampson was forced to confront a family illness and elected to step away from theprogram and help his ailing mother back to health in 2015-16. Once re-enrolled in fall 2016, Sampsonplayed in all 30 games last season as Belmont won the OVC Championship. With multiple rebounds in 11games last season, the Knoxville, Tennessee native proved to be one of Coach Byrd’s most trusted andvalued role players. Sampson was often counted on in late-game situations, with his knowledge of CoachByrd’s offense and his no-nonsense approach. He had six points and fiev rebounds at EIU (1/13/18).

RETURN OF THE MACK

1990’s R&B artist Mark Morrison and Coach Byrd have something in common: Return of the Mack. Junior

forward Mack Mercer has battled injuries throughout his career, including a redshirt in 2016-17 due to a

foot injury. The 6-9 forward also missed nine games in 2015-16. A heralded prep player, Mercer was

ranked among the top players in the state of Indiana and was named to prestigious Indiana Senior All-

Star team, one of only 13 players in the entire state so honored. The 6-9 forward averaged 17.5 points, 9.5

rebounds, and 3.8 blocked shots per game as a senior for Plymouth HS and averaged 19.0 points and 8.7

rebounds per game as a junior. He played AAU basketball for Eric Gordon All-Stars coached by Brian

Keeton. Mercer scored his first career points vs. Trevecca (11/19/14). After taking some time to get used to

Coach Byrd’s system, Mercer made his presence felt during conference play in his first two seasons.

Consistently scoring through contact, drawing fouls, and making free throws confidently, Indiana native

was one of Belmont’s best players in February 2016. Mercer scored a season-high 19 points vs. Green Bay

(12/2/17) and had 13 points at Western Kentucky (12/19/17). Mercer earned praise from legendary college

basketball announcer Bill Raftery during the Bruins’ 2015 NCAA Tournament game vs. Virginia.

GONE WITH THE WINDLER

Junior swingman Dylan Windler might be one of the best kept secrets in college basketball. A versatile

performer whose impact is felt on both ends of the floor, Windler is poised to inherit a lead scoring role

from Evan Bradds. Windler had 12 double figure scoring games in 2017, including a team-high 21 points

in the Bruins’ NIT victory at Georgia. The Indianapolis, Indiana native makes uses of his length on the

backboards and on the defensive end, regularly among OVC leaders in steals and blocked shots. Windler

was a late-bloomer in basketball, focusing much of his early prep career on golf. Windler was an Indy

area high school golf champion, regularly shooting in the 70s. His game-winning basket last season vs.

Lipscomb was featured on ESPN SportsCenter with Scott Van Pelt. He had 24 points and 11 rebounds vs.

Vanderbilt (11/13/17) and four consecutive double-doubles to open the season.

CATCH UP WITH KEV

Junior guard Kevin McClain is transitioning from the point guard to shooting guard position this season.

McClain is expected to serve as the starting 2-guard, replacing 2017 graduate and NCAA hero Taylor

Barnette. The Jennings, Florida native rose to the occasion in high-profile games as a sophomore, playing

some of his best games against Florida, Rhode Island and Georgia Tech. McClain scored a season-high 13

points vs. Cleveland State (12/22/16). The ultra-quick guard gained internet fame when his jaw-dropping

slam dunk in a high school game made SportsCenter Top 10. McClain scored a career-high 27 points vs.

Houston Baptist (11/16/17), 25 points at Morehead State (2/3/18), and 21 points vs. SIUE (1/27/18).

STEP UP TO THE MIKE

Sophomore Michael Benkert should see an increased role this season as a wing option for Coach Byrd.

The Greenwood, Indiana native averaged 1.1 points per game in 23 game appearances last season.

Benkert played prep basketball for former Butler Final Four team member Zach Hahn. He was a 2015

Indiana All-State and Hoosier Basketball Magazine honoree. As one might expect with a Coach Byrd

player, Benkert had five points vs. Seattle (11/19/17) and four points vs. Tennessee Tech (1/4/18).

WHAT SETH US APART

Sophomore Seth Adelsperger is an agile center who provides outstanding post depth and versatility for

the Bruins. A native of Peru, Indiana, Adelsperger who averaged 1.2 points and 1.1 rebounds per game in

28 game appearances last season. The 6-11 center had 27 free throw attempts in 102 minutes last season.

He averaged 15.2 points, 9.0 rebounds and 5.0 blocked shots per game as a senior, ranking Top 5 in state

of Indiana in blocked shots. Adelsperger redshirted in 2015-16 to gain experience in Coach Byrd’s system

and work with post coach Brian Ayers. Adelsperger made his first career start at No. 23 TCU (11/29/17).

ON THE HOP

Redshirt freshman Nick Hopkins was one of the most electrifying scorers ever signed by the Bruin pro-

gram. The 2016 Tennessee Mr. Basketball for Class A, Hopkins averaged over 33 points per game as a

senior and tallied nearly 3,000 career points for Fayetteville (TN) HS. Number 14 scored 22 points in his

Belmont debut at Washington - the most points scored by any Belmont players in a debut of the Bruins’

NCAA Division I era. Hopkins had 11 points in the final nine minutes at Providence (11/22/17) and made

the game-clinching free throws at Western Kentucky (12/19/17). He is a dynamic scoring force who Coach

Byrd describes as a quiet, confident leader who embraces the moment.

A NEWCOMER OF EVERY SIZE

The Bruins welcome guard Grayson Murphy, forward Caleb Hollander, center Nick Muszynski, and

walkons Michael Mayernick and Tate Pierson.

One of the most successful andrespected coaches in the country,Head Coach Rick Byrd has been amodel of consistency in leadingBelmont's transition from an NAIAinstitution to a perennial headlinerand championship program inNCAA Division I.

Under Byrd, Belmont has reachedpostseason play in 11 of the last 12seasons, including seven automaticberths to the NCAA Tournament.

All told, Belmont has won 16 conference championships (nine regular sea-son, seven tournament) since 2006 - only Kansas and Gonzaga have wonmore over that span. Unquestionably, Byrd has built a program with stay-ing power.

Belmont is one of only seven NCAA Division I programs outside thePower 5 to post Top 100 RPIs seven consecutive seasons (BYU, Gonzaga,Saint Mary's (CA), San Diego State, VCU, Wichita State), posting NationalTop 25 poll votes six of those campaigns.

Since 2003, Belmont ranks first in the nation in number of conference vic-tories (246), three ahead of Kansas.

In addition, Belmont is one of only 12 NCAA Division I programs to win19 or more games 12 consecutive seasons (Akron, BYU, Duke, Gonzaga,Kansas, Louisville, Michigan State, North Carolina, San Diego State, VCUand Wisconsin).

The Bruins have victories over the likes of North Carolina, Stanford,Marquette, Georgia, Alabama, Cincinnati and Missouri, among others, toits credit.

Byrd ranks fifth among all active NCAA Division I head coaches in careervictories with 773, and stands first among all active non-Power 5 coaches.

Only three head coaches in the nation have been at their respective institu-tions longer than Byrd's 32 years of service at Belmont. Under Byrd's guid-ance, the Bruins have won 274 games and posted a remarkable 194-45(.812) record in conference games over the past 11 years.

Moreover, entering 2017-18, Belmont is 170-36 (.825) over the last sevenseasons in games outside the Power 5.

Byrd is first among all active NCAA Division I men’s basketball headcoaches (min. 10 years at school) when ranked by percentage of schools’all-time wins; having accounted for nearly 70 percent of the total victoriesin Belmont history.

2016-17 was the latest in a string of highly-successful and memorable sea-sons for Byrd and the Belmont program.

Belmont went 23-7, 15-1 in OVC play - among the nation's top conferencemarks. During the year, Belmont won an NCAA-best 10 consecutive trueroad games and tied the program's NCAA Division I standard of 14 con-secutive victories. The Bruins claimed a ninth regular season conferencechampionship in 12 years and defeated Georgia in the 2017 PostseasonNIT.

Belmont remarkably led the OVC in offensive and defensive efficiency(Ken Pomeroy), and led the nation in two-point field goal percentage forthe fourth time in five seasons.

The Bruins were showered with postseason honors, with Byrd garneringconference Coach of the Year honors.

Senior forward Evan Bradds became the first Belmont student-athlete inany sport named AP All-American and conference Player of the Year insuccessive seasons.

Despite playing 20 of 32 games away from home, 2015-16 marked thefourth time in as many years

But of even greater significance to Byrd, Belmont has established anunparalleled standard of academic achievement among NCAA Division Iprograms. Since 2001, Belmont leads the nation in Academic All-Americaselections (15) and is one of only three programs (along with Davidsonand Holy Cross) to rank among the nation’s best every year since inceptionof the Academic Progress Rate (APR) .

Byrd was a voter in the ESPN/USA Today Top 25 Coaches' Poll for the pastdecade, and is an outgoing member of the NCAA Men’s Basketball RulesCommittee, serving as committee chairman from 2013-15.
