Belmont Bruins prepare for exhibition game against Duke

Belmont Bruins will face Duke University on Thursday in an exhibition game at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The game holds significance as the teams have met twice before, each time decided by narrow margins of victory—Duke winning 71-70 in 2008 and 77-76 in 2011. Former Duke assistant Evan Bradds is in his first year as head coach at Belmont, leading a team featuring several returning players along with transfers and freshmen. Jabez Jenkins emphasized the team's commitment to approach the game as if it were a national championship. Duke's strengths and weaknesses are still unclear due to limited prior viewing of their squad ahead of the game.
