Anthony Catezone Sports Editor | @AnthonyCatz
Belmont does not miss shots very often. e Ohio Valley Conference’s top team is shoot- ing 49.7 percent from the eld this season, the sixth best percentage in the country. e Bruins, the defending OVC champs in its rst season as a member of the confernece, also aver- age 80 points per game, which is 24th in the nation. So for the 9-17 Eastern men’s basketball team, one of the most di cult aspects of ursday night’s game against 20-8 Belmont will be forcing the Bru- ins to take bad shots. Clearly the Panthers will have their hands full with a Bruin team that has had opponents try to do the same, but only eight times were the bruins bested. Even more impressive than being the OVC’s lone 20-win team, Belmont is 11-2 in conference, including a three-game win streak. Of those three wins, one was a 99-96 win against Murray State, which is second in the OVC also at 11-2. Two Bruins lead their top scoring o ense, as J.J. Mann and Craig Bradshaw average 20.2 and 18.4 points per game in the OVC, respectively. Reece Chamberlain and Drew Windler follow with 11.3 and 10.1 points per game, respectively. Chamberlain, Bradshaw and Mann all average three or more assists per game with Chamberlain’s ve assists per game leading the team. Each Bruins starter is shooting at least 46 percent from the eld, giving them the most depth of any- one in the OVC. is is the same Belmont team that upset No. 12 ranked North Carolina on the road 83-80 on Nov. 17, 2013. A game where Mann hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 13.1 seconds left, helping the Bruins beat the Tar Heels 83-80 in the Hall of Fame Tipo . Mann scored a career-high 28 points, scoring 11 points in the nal two minutes of the game. It will be equally as di cult for Eastern to keep pace with Belmont as it will be to stop the Bruins. e Panthers average 67 points per game — sec- ond worst in the OVC. Last season, Belmont beat Eastern, in their only matchup as OVC opponents, 80-49, where Mann scored a game-high 21 points. Tipo is at 7 p.m. ursday in Nashville, Tenn., at the Curb Event Center, where Belmont has won 53 of its 55 games.
