Heavy Praise: In the Street & Smith’s 2019-20 Preseason Yearbook, BU’s Ben Weyer was named as a 2nd Team All-American.

Milestone Watch: Two of BU’s seniors are well within reach of entering Bellarmine’s 1,000 point club. Ben Weyer needs just 149 points, and Alex Cook is 192 shy of the mark. Weyer and Cook would become the 40th and 41st players to score 1,000 points.

Milestone Watch (Part 2): Bellarmine Coach Scott Davenport is just two wins shy of tying the school record set by Bellarmine Hall of Famer Joe Reibel for most wins by a men’s basketball coach with 346.

Notre Dame-Bellarmine connections: In basketball terms, the most significant con-nection is former Notre Dame Head Coach John MacLeod (1991-99), who is a 1959 graduate of Bellarmine and played for the Knights. In fact, he lettered in three sports

at BU (basketball, baseball, track). Also of note, Bellarmine’s second president, Dr. Jo-seph J. McGowan, was a Notre Dame grad.

BU Sharpshooters: Bellarmine has ranked in the NCAA’s top 10 in field goal percentage every year since 2008:

Year Rank FG % Record2019 1st 54.5% 28-52018 2nd* 53.0% 29-32017 1st 53.5 % 32-32016 3rd 51.2 % 23-72015 1st 53.5 % 31-42014 1st 52.9 % 23-82013 6th 50.5 % 24-82012 1st 54.2 % 29-42011 1st 52.1 % 33-22010 9th 50.1 % 23-92009 4th 50.7 % 26-72008 4th 51.3 % 17-11

Head Coach - Scott DavenportOn April 29, 2005, Scott Davenport became the 11th coach in Bellarmine University men’s basketball history, and in six years took BU all the way to the top by leading the Knights to the 2011 NCAA Division II Tournament national champion-ship. For his efforts, he was named national Coach of the Year by two different organizations: the National Associa-tion of Basketball Coaches and the Division II Bulletin.

Bellarmine remains one of the premier programs in Division II under Davenport, who boasts a career record of 344-101

through the 2018-19 season and ranks third nationally among active Division II coaches with a winning percentage of better than 77 percent.

Taking over a program that had made the NCAA tournament field just nine times in the history of the program that dates back to 1950, Davenport has now led the Knights to 11 consecutive NCAA appearances and has accu-mulated a 26-10 record in tournament play for an incredible 72.2 winning percentage. Davenport has guided the Knights to four Final Four appearances with the last coming in 2016-17.

Davenport also has transformed Knights Hall into one of the top home court advantages in Division II basketball. In the decade spanning 2009 to 2019, the Knights boasted a 152-9 record at Knights Hall, winning 67 in a row dur-ing one stretch.

The 2019 Knights won Bellarmine’s third-straight Great Lakes Valley Conference Tournament crown, and duringhis 14 years at Bellarmine, five players have been named to All-America squads, 33 have been named to All-GLVC teams while three have earned conference Player of the Year accolades, three were named Defensive Player of the Year, and another player was named GLVC Freshman of the Year and National Player of the Year. Davenport is a 4-time GLVC Coach of the Year.

Prior to coming to Bellarmine, Davenport served nine years as an assistant coach at the University of Louisville under national championship-winning Hall of Fame coaches Denny Crum and Rick Pitino. He also served a year as an assistant coach on Mike Pollio’s staff at Virginia Commonwealth where he coached alongside future Kentucky coach Tubby Smith.

Bellarmine announced in June that it had accepted an invitation for the university to join the ASUN Conference. The move will elevate the university’s athletic programs to NCAA Division I status beginning the summer of 2020.

Bellarmine will be the only private DI university in Kentucky, and one of the few Division I Catholic universities in the South.

With the addition of the Bellarmine Knights in the 2020-21 season, the ASUN Conference will have 10 members spread across seven mostly southeastern states, from Florida to New Jersey. The conference has been an ESPN broadcast partner since 1989, with game coverage airing on ESPN+.

Bellarmine fields 17 sports sponsored by the ASUN Conference: Baseball, Basketball (Men’s and Women’s), Cross Country (Men’s and Women’s), Golf (Men’s and Women’s), Soccer (Men’s and Women’s), Softball, Tennis (Men’s and Women’s), Track (Indoor/Outdoor Men’s and Women’s), Volleyball.

Additionally, Bellarmine fields teams in Men’s Lacrosse (DI program since 2005, will continue as a member of the Southern Conference), Men’s and Women’s Swimming (will participate in the Coastal Collegiate Sports Association), Field Hockey and Wrestling, the latter two of which are currently slated to compete in DI with independent status.

The Knights will compete for one more season in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, a DII conference that Bellarmine helped launch in 1978.

About ASUNThe ASUN Conference is a NCAA Division I league committed to Building Winners for Life by meeting the challenge of main-taining the highest standards in academic and athletic achievement with a true balance between student and athlete. The ASUN includes a blend of the most prestigious and dynamic private and public institutions in the region: Florida Gulf Coast University, Jacksonville University, Kennesaw State University, Liberty University, Lipscomb University, New Jersey Institute of Technology, University of North Alabama, University of North Florida and Stetson University. The addition of Bellarmine University will bring the ASUN membership up to 10 institutions for the 2020-21 academic year.
