MOREHEAD, Ky. - - Belmont University men's basketball returns to game action at Morehead State Saturday.
The Bruins dropped an 81-69 decision Thursday at Eastern Kentucky. Belmont shot 53 percent from the field and made 10 three-pointers in the game.
Sophomore Evan Bradds (Jamestown, Ohio) went 5-for-6 from the field to solidify his No. 1 national ranking in field goal percentage (.703). Bradds is shooting 78 percent from the field in OVC play and has five double doubles this season.
Belmont junior Craig Bradshaw (Ridgetop, Tenn.) was named Capital One Academic All-District this week. He becomes the 17th Belmont men's basketball player so honored. Bradshaw holds a 3.51 GPA.
Belmont (Ian Clark, Utah Jazz) and Morehead State (Kenneth Faried, Denver Nuggets) each have a former player currently in the NBA.
Belmont and Morehead State played two of the toughest non-conference schedules in the OVC.
This marks the sixth meeting between Belmont and Morehead State. Belmont has won the previous five meetings. However, the Bruins' previous two trips to Morehead have been hard-earned, come-from-behind victories, including 76-73 last January.
Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcast on OVC Digital Network. The live play-by-play of Voice of the Bruins Kevin Ingram can be heard on the Bruin Sports Network and 104.5 The Zone. In-game updates will be available on Twitter @BelmontMBB.
