BELMONT BRUINS NEWS

Returns to action Wednesday Muszynski (foot) had five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists during Wednesdays' win over SIUE.

Impact As expected, Muszynski returned to the floor following a two-game absence with a foot injury and made his 24th start of the season. Although this was Muszynski's first time failing to reach double figures since Jan. 23, Belmont is grateful to have their center back in time for the OVC Tournament. Belmot will face the winner of Jacksonville State and Murray State on Friday.

Likely to return for OVC Tourney Muszynski (foot) is expected to play in Belmont's conference tournament, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact The big man has been out for each of the last two games but the expectation is that Muszynski will be ready in time for the OVC tournament that begins Wednesday when Belmont plays SIU-Edwardsville. He averages 15.3 points and 5.5 rebounds per game, which means getting him back would give Belmont a strong presence in the frontcourt.

Notches first career triple-double Murphy recorded 13 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists, three steals and two blocks across 32 minutes Saturday in Belmont's 73-58 win over Morehead State.

Impact Murphy was the driving force for Belmont, claiming his first career triple-double as the Bruins came away with their 19th straight victory to move to 22-1 on the season. The triple-double was also the first in Belmont history since the program joined the NCAA, and the first by an Ohio Valley Conference player since former Murray State standout Ja Morant achieved the feat in the 2019 NCAA Tournament.
