Since I haven’t kept up my weekly conference updates during this lull in the schedule, I thought I might take some time to look at where the teams stand and how they might fare in the upcoming conference season. First, I’ll go through my team rankings, and then I’ll look at the players. 1. Delta […]

The Four Keys Study Revised
This evening as I was playing College Hoops 2K6, I suddenly realized one major flaw in my methodology for the study I did a week or so ago. Maybe I should get out more if this type of thing keeps happening, but that’s a completely different point. I was destroying Maryland in a rivalry game […]
About this blog – How it works
A quick note about this blog: I’m using WordPress version 1.5.2 at the moment to power this monster, and today, for the first time, I’m using Performancing for Firefox to compose my post. If this works well, Performancing will be the coolest Firefox add-on I have (along with FireFTP and FoxyTunes), since it allows you […]
GSC Week in Review – December 18
There are so few games at this point in the season (roughly one per team per week) that I thought I would just review all the games at once, then rank the teams. December 11: Southern Arkansas 51, Tulsa 56 December 15: Delta State 76, Bellarmine 65 December 16: Southern Arkansas 37, SE Oklahoma State […]
The Relative Effects of the Four Keys
Jay piqued my curiosity with his comments on free throw shooting in the Northwestern State game summary. So, per reader request, I will now present my study of the relative impact of Dean Oliver’s so-called “Four Keys.” Let me go ahead and issue a warning: if you’re put off by a little math, you might […]
GSC Week in Review – December 11
This week, like the rest of the month, was interesting in that there were very few even matchups between GSC West teams and their opponents. Most of the games played were against considerably lesser opposition, like HU’s games against Arkansas Baptist and Central Baptist. Some of the games were against considerably better opposition, like HU’s […]
HU blown out at D-I Northwestern State
The Bisons lost 89-61 this afternoon against a very tough Northwestern State team in Natchitoches, Louisiana. NSU was coming off a road victory at Oklahoma State (Eddie Sutton’s second non-conference home loss in his illustrious career), so this was not entirely surprising. Northwestern State also made Jay Bilas’ Power 16 on ESPN.com this week, although […]
Bisons take Mustangs for a ride, win 109-80
Harding reached its highest point total of the year in taking down the Central Baptist College Mustangs tonight, 109-80. The win marked the sixth in a row for HU, which has started the year 6-0 at home, 7-1 overall. Lonnie Smith led the way for the Bisons with a career-high 37 points. He amazingly shot […]
Sims named GSC West Player of the Week
The official site already covered this story pretty well, but I thought I’d mention it over here as well. HU forward Brandon Sims was named this week’s GSC West Player of the Week today, deservedly so after an awesome week. Sims scored 66 points and pulled down 28 rebounds in the week ending Tuesday night, […]
Second coaches poll released
The second release of the NABC Division II coaches poll came out today, and lo and behold, Harding received a vote! I’m not sure who gets to vote in these polls, but to me, it seems like they’re just looking at won-loss records and scores. Our non-conference schedule is relatively weak, so I find it […]
