Bellarmine men’s basketball defeated Jacksonville, 77-72 in the Atlantic Sun conference tournament final, which SHOULD give them the automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. But thanks to an NCAA rule, Jacksonville State instead will earn the ASUN bid. Since The Knights were just promoted to D-1 two years ago, the NCAA doesn’t allow teams to play in postseason tournaments until their fifth season at the D-I level. TRAGIC!! 

But the fans flooding the court to celebrate was so great to see!
