Is Bellarmine Turning it Around?

It’s been an awful season for Bellarmine, but they could be turning it around with the two wins in the last two games. Two games ago against Austin Peay, Bellarmine won 94-68, and in the last game against Eastern Kentucky, they won 80-74. At halftime against Eastern Kentucky, they were up 37-28, and they never looked back. Billy Smith had a strong game, putting up 23 points, six rebounds, and one assist. It was a balanced attack, with four players scoring at least 10 points. 

Bellarmine sits with a 5-14 record overall, and away from home, they are looking for their first win of the season. Bellarmine likes to play faster, but the defense has been a major issue. They are averaging 73.2 points, while their defense is giving up 80.5 points per game. The defense is 351st in college football, and they will need it to step up significantly here. Bellarmine has no injury concerns right now. 

Why Bellarmine Will Beat Stetson

• Stetson has lost each of its last eight games against the ASUN Conference.
• Bellarmine has won the first half in each of its last three games against non-AP-ranked opponents.

Stetson Looks Lost

Stetson has struggled heading into this game and lost eight games in a row. Two games ago against North Florida, they lost 79-71; in the last game against Florida Gulf Coast, they lost 83-80. Stetson had a chance to win the last game, but they gave up 50 points in the second half, leading to the loss. Even though they lost, the offense was impressive, and six players finished with at least 10 points. Jamie Phillips Jr scored 16 points, four rebounds, and one assist. Stetson hit 11 of their 24 shots from deep, and the three-point shooting must continue to impress here. 

Stetson has a 7-22 record overall; at home, they have gone 2-9. Stetson averages 71.7 points per game, but their defense has been a major issue, giving up 82.2 points per game. In this game, the defense is going to need to step up. Bellarmine could pick up their first road win of the season if the defense struggles for Stetson. Falling behind also has been a problem at times, and can’t happen again here. 

Total Points Facts

• Eight of Bellarmine’s last nine games have produced a total of 154+ points.
• Fourteen of Stetson’s last 18 games against non-AP-ranked opponents at Insight Credit Union Arena at Edmunds Center have produced a total of 153+ points.

Bellarmine vs Stetson Prediction

Bellarmine hasn’t had a win on the road yet this season, but after Monday night that number will change to one. The transfer portal really hit Bellarmine during the offseason, but they suddenly are getting hot at the right time. Bellarmine’s offense has been elite heading into this game, and no one has been able to slow down Billy Smith Jr. Stetson’s defense is giving up 82.2 points per game, and after this game, that number will be even higher. Bellarmine will get out to a fast start, and Stetson will have no answer. The visiting team has won the last five games; it will happen again here. Back Bellarmine to win and cover the spread.
