The Ducks will be playing in the Wichita region of this year’s tournament, and their first stop is in Tennessee to face the Belmont Bruins in what will - for all practical purposes - be a home game for Belmont.
The Bruins are 1-6 in NCAA tournament play, but are coming off a 12-game win streak. Their resume against P5 opponents is short, however, and is a contributor to their NET rating of 50. They will be lead by sophomore guard Destinee Wells, who is their scoring leader and averages 16.6 PPG. Also leading the Bruins is sophomore forward Madison Bartley, who comes in this game scoring over 11 PPG and is Belmont’s rebound leader.
