    Thanks for the coverage. This Bellarmine team is something special, and the program, a “sleeping giant” as Scotty has termed it, is definitely on the rise. Look for great things to come, including cross-town battles with “the ‘Ville” at the new arena. Go Knights!

    Yeah, thanks for the post. Your coverage of the Bellarmine cagers is often better than the bloody Courier-Journal! Go Knights!
