It looks like the HU athletic department is going to do most of the work for me this year when it comes to previewing games. On the wonderful new official site, there is a full 5-page .pdf file previewing the UALR game this Saturday. Presumably, they will do this for every game, so I’ll probably […]

2005-06 Predictions
Now that I’ve gone through each GSC West team, it’s time for me to make some predictions. Given the turnover that happens every year at the Division II level, it’s tough to predict where certain teams will end up, but I’ll do my best. Last year, the coaches predicted Henderson State to win the GSC […]
Harding Team Capsule
I finally finished the rest of the GSC West, so it’s time that I do a team capsule for our very own Harding Bisons. HU finished 18-11 last year, losing to Delta State in the quarterfinals of the conference tournament. The Bisons finished 10-6 in GSC West play, locking them in a three-way tie for […]
Delta State Team Capsule
The Delta State Statesmen are coming off a 19-10 season in which they reached the conference championship game before falling to Montevallo 72-60. DSU still failed to reach the NCAA regionals despite this strong finish, since they had not performed well in non-conference play. This year, coach Steve Rives welcomes a host of new players […]
Central Arkansas Team Capsule
UCA had arguably the most successful team of all of the GSC West programs last year. The Bears went 21-6 after starting the season 10-0, and they tied for first in the division with an 11-5 conference record. Head coach Rand Chappell inherited a solid young team that had struggled previously, turning them into contenders […]
UALR Ticket Information
As you probably know, the Bisons open their season a week from Saturday with an exhibition game at Arkansas-Little Rock. The game is at 7 p.m. at the Jack Stephens Center (women’s game at 4:30). You can get info on tickets at the official Harding site. My thoughts on this game are simple: I hope […]
Arkansas-Monticello Team Capsule
The UAM Boll Weevils finished last season 18-10 and barely out of the NCAA Tournament. They were 10-6 in conference play and were off to an outstanding start before collapsing at the end of the conference season. UAM lost their last six games of the 2004-05 season, which was a disappointing finish for a team […]
Ouachita Baptist Team Capsule
I’ll skip the Bisons for the time being and go straight to the OBU Tigers, last year’s fourth-best team among GSC squads. Ouachita actually finished in a three-way tie for third with Harding and Arkansas-Monticello also 10-6 in GSC West play, but they were fourth-best by my estimation. Head coach Charlie Schaef led his Tigers […]
