Its nickname was established because of both school's close placement in Nashville, Tennessee– about three miles apart on the same road.

The rivalry was classified as non-conference following Belmont's departure from the Atlantic Sun Conference prior to the 2012–13 NCAA Division I basketball season.

The tickets were $10.00 with proceeds going to both athletic departments and $40,000 donated to the Burns Center at Vanderbilt Hospital.

The crowd for the game could have been larger as hundreds were left outside because the gym was filled to capacity.

Joe Behling, the Belmont All-American and Hall of Famer, had a game-high 45 points.

Lipscomb’s All-American and Hall of Famer, Philip Hutcheson scored 30 points to lead the Bison.

On January 27, 2004, both teams met in NCAA Division I conference play for the first time, with Belmont prevailing 66–64 in overtime.

Although both schools compiled a rich NAIA post-season history, neither had ever made an NCAA tournament appearance.

Lipscomb guard James Poindexter drained a three-pointer with 27.7 seconds remaining in regulation to stake Lipscomb to a 58–55 lead, but Belmont guard Justin Hare responded with a driving layup, and was fouled with 20.7 seconds remaining.
