Christian Brothers 77, Harding 67 #10 Christian Brothers visited Searcy on Thursday hoping to get a little revenge for Trent Morgan’s buzzer-beater earlier this season in Memphis. They did just that, holding the Bisons to 36% shooting from the field in a 77-67 win. Nick Kohs and Reggie Peyton scored 45 of CBU’s points, while […]

Scouting the 2009 NCAA Tournament: Mid-Majors
This is the second installment of a four-part series on scouting the 2009 NCAA Tournament. See the intro here and the first installment here. In the first installment in this series, I mentioned that a lot of basketball analysts throw around the term “mid-major” and use it to refer to different sets of teams. For […]
Loss at SAU, Win vs ATU mark odd Bison split
This past week’s split leaves the Bisons at 5-5, tied for fourth in the GSC West. They’re barely hanging on to a tourney berth, but hanging on nonetheless. The Bisons staked out a big lead on Thursday at Southern Arkansas, but the Muleriders made threes and won the rebounding battle to take the game in […]
Scouting the 2009 NCAA Tournament: Small Conferences
This is the first installment of a four-part series on scouting the 2009 NCAA Tournament. See the introduction here. Before we begin, let me define what I mean by “small” conferences. Basketball analysts throw around the term “mid-major” all the time without defining it particularly well. Some would consider any team in a non-BCS conference […]
Scouting the 2009 NCAA Tournament

I survived the A-Rod story, and you can too
I don’t have three easy steps or anything, but I think baseball fans will survive this weekend’s revelation (and yesterday’s admission) that Alex Rodriguez was on steroids from 2001-2003. I already have. Let’s get a few things out of the way first: No one involved is innocent, and most of all A-Rod is not innocent. […]
Bisons topple Reddies + Other Notes
Thursday night, the Bisons defeated Henderson State 73-60, evening their GSC record at 4-4. They needed to win that one, since it’s arguably their easiest conference game, and the schedule only gets tougher from this point forward. Kevin Brown and Trent Morgan each had 19 points, although Morgan required 18 shots to get to his […]
Harding played basketball games last week?
I actually knew they did, but I’ve been moving pretty constantly since the middle of last week, and I haven’t had the chance to write up game summaries. It’s a good thing I don’t blog for a living, although I bet I could be decent at it if I didn’t have a pesky regular job. […]
