As usual, there’s plenty going on this time of year for notes: Did anyone see the Packers-Cowboys game last night? It was only the best NFC matchup so far this year, but thanks to our cable companies and the NFL Network, practically no one was able to see it. Congratulations are in order for the […]

Frenetic Early Run lifts Harding past Champion Baptist, 109-64
Freshman Matt Ragsdale and senior Matt Hall each scored 20 points in a game that was a rout from the start. The Bisons started the game on an 18-0 run and didn’t look back against Champion Baptist, a school that has been in existence for all of three years. [TABLE=18] This game was a display […]
College Basketball Top 25: November 26, 2007
I haven’t changed the Top 10 around a lot since I started doing this before the season, but not many of them have lost yet. Tennessee has had the biggest fall of any of my preseason top 10, but I think it’s mostly because Chris Lofton hasn’t been 100%. Duke is probably the biggest riser […]
Matt Hall's 36 not enough against WTAMU
We’re essentially two games into the 2007-2008 season, if you don’t count the D-I games, and the Matt Hall Show is in full effect. Hall scored 36 tonight against Buffalo Classic tournament host West Texas A&M, but the Bisons ended up on the losing end of an 86-80 final score. Matt Hall had 36 points, […]
Harding survives rough shooting night to beat Northeastern State
Some wins make you feel good, while others just make you glad you survived. Last night was one of the latter type of wins for the Bisons, who shot just 5-of-17 from beyond the arc and 6-of-16 from the free throw line against Northeastern State, a member of the D-II Lone Star Conference. The former […]
Weekly Notes: November 21, 2007
I suppose I won’t keep my usual schedule this week, with tomorrow being Thanksgiving. We’ll have notes today and some basketball reviews over the weekend. I’ve been slacking this week on basketball, instead spending my time looking at everyone’s Black Friday deals, most of which have already been released. The Bargainist is a pretty reliable […]
College Basketball Top 25: November 19, 2007
I’ll try to make this a regular thing. I’m doing it each week to contribute to the MVN team, but I can’t even find the stinking thing on there when it’s all done (at least not without a lot of work navigating through other posts). Here’s my list: [TABLE=14] The next five, if you’re curious, […]
Bisons drop opening two games against D-I opponents
Harding drops to 0-10 all-time against Divsion-I opponents by starting the season with two losses at the Price Cutter Classic in Springfield, Missouri. I thought they might have a chance against UT-Pan Am, but that level of opposition is still too much for a Bisons squad that clearly has a lot of things left to […]
Weekly Notes: November 16, 2007
It’s been a big week in sports, with some further cluttering of the BCS landscape, the beginning of the college basketball season, and the good old Hot Stove. And apparently other things are going on outside sports, but you probably don’t care to read about that here. Let’s get started: The first two GSC West […]
GSC Predictions 2007-2008
I’ve used this space a lot over the past few years to throw out opinions about D-II basketball, but I try to emphasize that the prediction game is an awfully tough one to play. At the Division-II level, many of the players are either total unknowns or washed-up former high-school, JC, and even D-I stars […]
