Belmont at Ohio

The Belmont Bruins have sustained success over several years now, and have made some periodic noise in the NCAA Tournament. It may take some time for this year's edition to get to the same level as they lost their top scorer from last year, and three of their top six scorers who combined to contribute 36 points per game.
