Bellarmine may be a Division II team, but they don’t play like one.
The Knights, a member of the Great Lakes Valley Conference, hail from Louisville, Kentucky. In 2011, they won the Division II National Championship, making a program-record 295 3-pointers along the way.
Bellarmine finished the 2015-2016 season 23-7, earning a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament before being upset by Ferris State in the first round.
This season, Bellarmine is expected to be even better. The Knights are ranked third in the NABC/DII poll, and are just one of two teams to receive first place votes.
