The Fun Police in Indianapolis will not let the Bellarmine Knights dance this March, not even in the NIT.
Bellarmine has been the talk of the college basketball world since the small Catholic school in Louisville won the ASUN Conference Tournament Title Tuesday night with a 77-72 victory over Jacksonville at Freedom Hall. Scotty Davenport’s squad capped off its second Division I season with a 20-13 (11-5) record.
That’s right, the Knights are conference tournament champs after only two seasons of D-I basketball, and yet that’s somehow a problem, thanks to an antiquated NCAA rule.
