12 seasons as a Division 2 Head Coach (1 with no tournament) and 4 Elite Eight Appearances!!! Bart Lundy is a phenomenal coach, especially come tournament time!!!
Did you know...that Queens (NC) Coach Bart Lundy has led the Royals to 5 straight Top 25 finishes? His teams have won over 75% of their games and he's led them to 4 Elite Eights. In the last 4 seasons, Queens is 117-20. Congrats Coach Lundy!

Queens dominated fast breaks, had two four-shot possessions late, and won the rebound advantage by six.
