From the
@ASUN_MBB
Champs -- congratulations to the all the student-athletes who will hear their team’s name called tonight. Bellarmine will be rooting for you.
For the first time in program history,
@BUKnightsMBB
has defeated the Louisville Cardinals. If there were any remaining doubts - yeah, DI is where we belong.
Bellarmine seeks to foster thoughtful, informed consideration of serious ideas, values and issues. In that spirit:
High school students, your BU admission status won’t be impacted by any school disciplinary action for your participation in peaceful protest and assembly.
Today, Bellarmine University rises to
@NCAA
Division I, defining a new era. We are the only private DI university in Kentucky, and one of only a handful of DI Catholic universities in the South. Join us Knights, as we make history.

Congratulations on a great run,
@Merrimack
. It’s great to see more proof that the move to Division I can produce excellence on the court faster than seems to be expected… 🙃
MERRIMACK WINS THE NEC TOURNAMENT‼️🏆
Despite the win, Merrimack is ineligible to represent the conference in the NCAA tournament.
The team is in its fourth season of a four-year transition period to Division I.
We rose to NCAA Division I with an inaugural basketball game against Duke. In the aftermath, we saw an unparalleled surge in online interest including the highest volume of Google search traffic in over 5 years and stories about Bellarmine in national publications.

If you are unfamiliar with us and today's ASUN Conference Men's Basketball Championship is your introduction to Bellarmine University - first of all, welcome! If you were wondering how to correctly say our name... it's Bell-are-mun. Bellarmine.
It's our birthday! Bellarmine College opened October 3, 1950 for our first-ever day of classes. We had one building (Pasteur Hall), and it didn't even have doors on the first day.
“In Louisville, at the corner of Fourth & Walnut,... I was suddenly overwhelmed with the realization that I loved all those people, that they were mine and I theirs, that we could not be alien to one another even though we were total strangers.”

How it started.... How it's going....

Here it is — the academic year’s first snow day plea on social media, which marks the official arrival of the winter season on a college campus.
Happy winter, Knights! (And rest up for Tuesday morning classes.)

In 1950, Bellarmine College first opened their doors… or would have, if there was a door! Pasteur Hall was the only building on campus, and there was no front door on the day we opened.

Today, our thoughts are with those impacted by the destructive overnight tornadoes in Kentucky, Arkansas, Illinois, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee. We are reaching out today to support our students with home addresses in significantly affected areas.
Tonight, members of the Bellarmine community gathered in person and virtually for a panel discussion on racial justice and the constitution, as well as a candlelight vigil.
Thank you, Eddie, Dee and team, for years of memories. Shenanigans is forever part of the Bellarmine community. Cheers to the good times and we hope to see you again.
To show support for those affected by hardship and loss during the outbreak, we lit our arch green along with many other in

THANK YOU to every player, assistant coach, manager, trainer, strength Coach! The administration, Scott Wiegandt and his team. Especially the BEST fans in the world from ALL over the Ville and Southern Indiana!
“Who was Gonzaga 20 years ago? They were Bellarmine. Who was Belmont 10, 12, years ago? They were Bellarmine. You have to have a plan to have a program — and we do.”
