This will be a short one as I try to prepare a list of the top teams in the region. The first regional rankings will be out tomorrow (the same rankings that determine who goes to the NCAA Tournament, so they’re fairly important), and I’m going to weigh in on my best guesses about the […]

Harding loses home heartbreaker to UCA, 70-69
I give my apologies for the delayed report. My schedule this semester doesn’t always allow for timely basketball reporting, but I’m doing my best. Frederick Campbell became a sort of unlikely hero in last night’s game, receiving a pass from Darryl Jones and hitting the game winning three with 8 ticks left on the clock. […]
HU Preview: Harding vs. Central Arkansas
The UCA Bears (10-4, 3-1 GSC West) have been one of Harding’s (9-4, 1-2) fiercest rivals, in a big-brother, little-brother sort of way, since UCA has always been a much bigger school. Next year, the big brother moves away to the big city and the D-I Southland Conference for basketball, leaving the GSC West behind. […]
GSC Preview – January 16, 2006
Things are heating up in the GSC, and it’s time to see if teams like Southern Arkansas and Christian Brothers will continue to make noise. Here’s my take on tomorrow night’s matchups. Southern Arkansas (5-10, 2-2 GSC West) at Delta State (12-1, 3-0) SAU has pulled off two surprises by winning at Henderson State and […]
GSC Review – January 12, 2006
There were more upsets around the league last night, so it’s time for some analysis. Delta State 73, Arkansas-Monticello 58 This game has me thinking that UAM may be in more trouble than I initially thought after they lost Johnathan Holland. They handled most of their opponents pretty well in the non-conference season, despite their […]
Harding falls to Southern Arkansas 76-65 in Magnolia
This loss hurts a lot. It’s never a good sign to be dominated by a team that’s usually on the other end of games like this. Regardless of injuries, the Bisons did not played well, and recently they have not played with the composure one would expect from a good team. Even the little things, […]
GSC Preview – January 12, 2006
Okay, so I’m a little late getting around to this, seeing as how most of the girls’ games are underway, but here’s my take on tonight’s action around the GSC, Harding included (for once). Harding (9-3, 1-1 GSC West) at Southern Arkansas (4-10, 1-2) SAU may have surprised Henderson State the other night, but the […]
Delta State enters the top 25 in first 2006 poll
The first meaningful NABC/D-II Bulletin national poll was released yesterday, and GSC West favorite Delta State was ranked #15, their first recognition of the season in the coaches’ poll. GSC East teams were also on the rise, as Montevallo (14-1, 2-0 GSC East) returned to the #1 spot and Alabama-Huntsville (12-2, 1-1 GSC East, with […]
GSC Review – January 9, 2006
The first batch of upsets came through the GSC assembly line Monday night, so let’s review what happened. Central Arkansas 81, Arkansas Tech 77 (double OT) I’m still not sure about either of these teams because of their relatively weak non-conference schedules, but I am now convinced that they are similarly talented. Even though it […]
Harding upsets UAM on the road
The Bisons pulled off a huge GSC road upset tonight in Monticello, defeating UAM 79-73. Harding improves to 1-1 in Gulf South West games (9-3 overall), while the Weevils fall to 2-1 (9-5 overall). The Bisons rode hot shooting to the victory, as the keys will show: HU Opp +/- TS% 68.0 52.1 0.159 OR% […]
