I’ve been waiting on WordPress’ 2.5 release to upgrade my blog, which is probably why my iframes (tables) were getting hacked. WP 2.5 is out now, so I’m planning to upgrade today if at all possible. Hopefully this will correct some of the problems I’ve been having, but I almost broke the site (again) the […]
Month: March 2008
What's going on?
It’s been a while since I checked in. My fantasy baseball draft is Saturday, so I’m spending pretty much every free minute between now and then preparing for it. Baseball season kind of sneaked up on me this year, since HU’s basketball season lasted longer than usual. Combine that with the D-I tourney’s late start […]

Initial 2008 bracket thoughts and analysis
Even though I follow Harding basketball pretty closely, the excitement of the D-II Selection Show still doesn’t match that of its D-I counterpart. I spent last night reviewing the matchups for what many would consider the “real” NCAA tournament, and I at least have some initial thoughts to share. At last count, there are still […]
Tampa outlasts Harding in South Region quarterfinal
I’ll have a more full-featured review of the last game of the Bisons’ season this week, but the rest of the weekend’s basketball action has me mostly distracted right now. Harding lost to a better Tampa team in Lakeland, although the Spartans were only marginally better. HU will have some pieces in place next year, […]
Tampa awaits in NCAA first round
For most of the college basketball-following universe, March Madness begins next Thursday. I’ll be following it then, of course, but those of us who care about Division II will be watching closely this weekend. Saturday marks the beginning of the D-II NCAA Regionals, which are hosted on campus sites. The South Region will play in […]
Log5 for the D-II South Region
I’ve probably exhausted analysis of the NCAA D-II South Regional tournament field as a whole by now, but I do have the log5 predicted outcomes. The Pythagorean win percentages, ratings, and ranks are courtesy of a simple ratings formula implemented by Doug Sparks (“Ratings” are on a linear scale based on points, and “Ranks” are […]
Conferences of the South Region: Strength of Schedule
The differences between South Region conferences are probably murkier this year than in years past. There were 31 inter-conference games between the GSC, SSC, and SIAC, though, and I’ll make an attempt to say something about the conferences’ relative quality. Gulf South Conference The GSC played in 30 of those 31 games, but what’s also […]
Christian Brothers fends off pesky Bisons to win GSC Tournament
I’m glad this game was televised, because there really is a lot to say about the play of both teams in this game, which wasn’t as close as the 93-89 final score might indicate. CBU led almost the entire way, by 14 at the half, and by as many as 23 in the second half, […]
Harding advances again, to face CBU for GSC title
Note for feed reader users: You probably can’t see the tables in this post. Click through for the full detail. The Bisons played a rare high-scoring GSC contest in the tournament semifinals against the East’s #2 seed, Valdosta State, but they came out on top, 89-84. It wasn’t an overly fast-paced game, but both teams […]
