Saturday night’s game has me conflicted. This is my third attempt to write a review for it, simply because I really can’t describe what a frustrating game it was. Normally I like to at least get my review done on the day following a game, but this game left me with too much to say. […]

Lions slip past Bisons to split home-and-home
Cold shooting and turnovers plagued the Bisons in last night’s loss to North Alabama in Florence, 79-68. As if it weren’t already clear that Matt Hall’s performance is tremendously important for the Bisons’ success, last night’s effort proved that for sure. Hall had one of his worst games in a Bisons uniform, shooting 5-of-15 from […]
Could the Bisons benefit from this?
I’ll have a review of last night’s loss at UNA a little bit later on today, but I had to share this little piece by Phil Birnbaum at the Sabermetric Research blog. I think Birnbaum swings and misses on some issues, but this one is pretty interesting and hilarious at the same time. If the whole […]
New Ministry Page
You’ll notice there’s a new tab at the top of the page labeled “Ministry.” I plan to use that section to publish any resources and thoughts that I have for that topic. I also suggest that you visit the website for my church, or my missionary friend’s site for additional resources.
The road ahead
The cupcake portion of the Harding basketball schedule is pretty much over. The next five games will go a long way toward showing where the Bisons stand in the GSC West. Are they really as good as they’ve been so far, with a +25 net efficiency so far this year that trumps the rest of […]
Harding rolls over Champion Baptist in final game of homestand
No starter played more than 14 minutes in a completely one-sided 97-44 affair. Kellen Morgan led the Bisons with 16 points, but let’s face it, the team could basically score at will in this game. There was no reason to throw up 28 threes (only hitting nine of them), so I’m not even sure this should […]

Bigger than basketball
This will probably come as a shock to pretty much anyone outside my immediate family. Today I bought a house. I can’t believe it, but I’m actually going to be a homeowner. I’ll be closing by the end of this month and probably using all of January to move in. Melissa and I are very […]
A good weekend in Searcy
The Bisons won two games this weekend at home, the first against Texas College, and the second in OT against North Alabama of the GSC East. I don’t have my latest stat update at home, so unless I want to do some double work, I won’t have all the stats until Monday. I may have […]
