NASHVILLE, Tenn. - - Belmont University men's basketball returns to action Sunday against No. 24 VCU.
The Bruins shot 62 percent from the field and forced 19 turnovers in defeating Brescia, 102-68, Nov. 26. Senior Drew Windler (South Milwaukee, Wisc.) scored a season-high 18 points in the victory.
VCU is the first nationally-ranked opponent ever to play at the Curb Event Center. Belmont defeated Air Force Nov. 30, 2003 at home, and the Falcons ended the 2003-04 regular season ranked No. 25.
Belmont has won 23 straight home games - the longest active home court winning streak in the nation.
Former Belmont and current Utah Jazz guard Ian Clark ('13) set a program single-game record by going 10-for-10 from the field in last year's game at VCU.
Entering the 2013-14 season, Belmont (83) and VCU (84) ranked in the top five nationally among non-BCS programs in victories over the last three seasons.
This marks the second meeting between Belmont and VCU. The Rams won, 75-65, last year in Richmond.
Tip-off is set for 4 p.m. CT from the Curb Event Center. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN3, Comcast Mid-Atlantic, SportsNet NY and in Nashville on MyTV30. Check your local listings for channel and availability in your area.
