Bellarmine’s Season Begins at Vanderbilt
Bellarmine began the 2026-27 season Monday with a game at Vanderbilt, which the source identifies as ranked No. 24. The 93-47 defeat means the Knights arrive in Bloomington 0-1, while Indiana is listed at 1-0. The source does not provide Indiana’s opening-game opponent or result details beyond its record.
Doug Davenport was named Bellarmine’s 12th head coach on March 11, 2025, according to the report. He is the son of former coach Scott Davenport and joined the program as an assistant before the 2016-17 season. Bellarmine announced him as its “Coach-in-Waiting” in May 2022.
