A question asked by NCAA basketball fans before the tournaments: “Where in the world is Belmont?” Well, after seeing both the men and women valiantly compete while spirited, proud fans cheered them on, Belmont is on the map.
Belmont, one of only 23 schools to send both the women and men to the Big Dance, is one of only five mid-major schools to double up on tourney fun with a team among each group of the 65 finest.
The appearance from the No. 15-seeded men marked the second in as many years while the trip for the No. 14-seeded women was the first.
Belmont, becoming a household name far beyond the boulevard, shows no signs of being content and looks to become a staple in March Madness.
