I’ve added a glossary of basketball stats as a sub-page under the “basketball” main page. This has been a long time coming, I know. My goal was to be comprehensive for terms and acronyms that I use on the site, so if I left something out, don’t hesitate to let me know about it. If something […]

Harding knocks out reeling Christian Brothers team
Matt Hall, Matt Hall, Matt Hall. Every post must start with Matt Hall. That seems to be the case this year, which is remarkable given his injury last year and the pressure he has faced this year. None of that seemed to matter in this game, which was nearly perfect for the junior forward. Hall […]
Bisons top Muleriders behind strong Hall performance
It wasn’t exactly the most exciting performance, but Matt Hall’s 16-of-17 shooting at the free throw line helped him get to 27 points for the game. No other Bison scored in double figures, and the team only had 65 points altogether in a relatively slow-paced game. You can find the story and the regular box […]
Shaping up and selling out, sort of
This blog is important to me and has been (in its various forms) for about 3 years now. I’ve been sidetracked a lot along the way and changed my site over and over again. Only in the last 8 months or so did I start consolidating all of my writing interests into one blog. Managing […]
Henderson State clamps down on Bisons to win 60-58
Before Saturday’s game, it was already clear that Henderson State was the best defensive team in the conference. Their stingy 88.9 rating was only slightly better than Delta State’s 90.7, but HSU had played a far tougher schedule. This is not an excuse for a poor shooting performance like the one the Bisons endured on […]
Harding bounces back in Russellville
The Bisons notched their 13th consecutive wondrous victory over the Arkansas Tech Wonder Boys last night. Matt Hall, of course, led the way with 25 points and 11 rebounds, and Rick Hamilton added 22 to propel HU to victory. Stats and such: HU ATU +/- Eff 95.0 84.6 10.3 TS% 50.6 45.7 4.9 […]
So long, LaRoche
It’s been a while since I devoted a post to the Braves, but it’s also been a while since I’ve been excited about them. With GM John Schuerholz making short-sighted deals (throwing away prospects for Renteria, Wickman, etc.) and writing narcissistic books, I soured on management while the play on the field also declined. For the first time since I […]
Get out of my head, you guys!
Tomorrow night will be a TV night of epic proportions. Of course, The Office is the anchor of any Thursday night TV we watch around the house, but it’s probable that we will watch both My Name is Earl and the musical episode of Scrubs. To me, it was telling that of the five actors […]
Book Review: The Blind Side
Years ago, offensive linemen were a commodity in the NFL. They were essentially interchangeable parts until the New York Giants drafted a player named Lawrence Taylor. LT’s rise, and the need of other teams to stop him, led the left tackle position to prominence, placing value on the players who protect the quarterback’s “blind side.” Soon […]
Ouachita Baptist beats Bisons at buzzer
With this defeat, Harding has lost their second straight conference game and their seventh in eight games against D-II opposition. All but one of these losses were on the road, and this was another close one, but it’s not easy to watch the losses pile up. The stats: HU OBU +/- Eff 122.3 120.6 […]
