I’ve been extremely busy since Friday, so we’re going to keep this short and sweet. The Bisons played in the St. Mary’s (TX) tournament in San Antonio over the weekend, beating SE Oklahoma on Saturday and losing to the host team on Sunday. That means their win streak ended at nine games. Perhaps they’ll stay […]

Bison Basketball ranked #24 in latest NABC poll
The Bisons have never been ranked in an in-season NABC/Division-II coaches’ poll, at least not until now. They were ranked #21 in the preseason poll two years ago but quickly fell out. Two other GSC West teams are in the top 25, with UAM at #8 and Ouachita at #16. The only ranked team from […]
Braves sign Rafael Furcal
The Braves have reportedly swooped in and signed free agent Rafael Furcal, who came up through the Braves organization and played the first six years of his career in Atlanta. He battled several off-field issues as a Brave, from the controversy over his age to his DUI arrest, but the 31-year-old shortstop will be coming […]
Harding Classic ends with home sweep
The Bisons’ win streak is now up to eight games after an impressive weekend sweep of the usual Alabama suspects, Alabama-Huntsville and North Alabama. The latter was ranked #15, and UAH has never been an easy victory. Harding 78, UAH 57 A glance at this box score leads me to believe that the Bisons played […]
Morgan stars again in Bisons' sixth consecutive win
Following the departure of Matt Hall, I thought Kevin Brown would be the team’s go-to scorer, both because of his general talent around the basket and because there were really no other consistent options. It’s true that the Bisons have found another scoring threat for this season, but that threat goes by a different name: […]
Harding pounds Ecclesia for fifth straight win
I know I’m a day late on this one, but I haven’t had time to post this weekend. Too many Christmas parties and such. This will be much shorter than a usual game review. Field goal percentage defense was the story in this blowout 87-38 win by the Bisons. They held Ecclesia to 33% shooting […]
Bisons win close "tune-up" against Central Baptist
So much for a tune-up game. The Bisons won in unconvincing fashion on Tuesday night against an inferior opponent, beating CBC 78-69 but trailing the game with as few as 13 minutes to play. Trent Morgan had another solid shooting performance, finishing with a career-high 28 points on just 13 field goal attempts. Morgan’s scoring […]
Braves acquire reliable Vazquez to fill gaping rotation hole
Jake Peavy might have been the sexier name on the offseason trade market, but the Braves went a different direction today by acquiring Javier Vazquez from the White Sox, reportedly for four prospects. Lefty reliever Boone Logan is also rumored to be coming to Atlanta, while Brent Lillibridge and Tyler Flowers are among the names […]
