A wild finish this afternoon in Arkadelphia went the Bisons’ way, lifting them to 8-4 and a now-two-way tie for second place in the GSC West. Matt Hall’s three-pointer with mere seconds to play gave Harding the 58-55 road victory over rival Henderson State. The Keys HU HSU +/- Eff 86.9 82.5 4.4 TS% 47.0 […]

Bisons keep Tech winless
The Bisons held off a hapless Arkansas Tech team in Searcy on Thursday night. It appears that they do just fine, even when I’m not even aware that they’re playing. Let’s get some stats out there. ATU HU +/- Eff 100.0 117.7 -17.7 […]
Chris Cornell finally bolts Audioslave, what next?
As I was writing my previous post, I came across an MTV News article breaking the news that Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell has left the band. I hadn’t really noticed that my #8 contemporary band wasn’t touring to support their latest album, Revelations, but the pieces now fit together a bit better. Rumors had apparently […]
John Amaechi comes out as former NBA player
At least, that’s the idea of this hilarious Onion article. Who would have guessed that this very tall British homosexual had ever played in the NBA? Seriously, this is a really interesting story, but the story here is not the one being told by ESPN; rather, it’s the one being told about ESPN. If you’re […]
The South Region Tracker
It’s Valentine’s Day, and I can’t think of anything more romantic than a little D-II basketball discussion. Um, yeah. Anyway, this is as good a time as any to unveil what I’m going to call the South Region Tracker, for lack of a better term. I’m going to rank each of the NCAA tournament-qualified South […]
NCAA Selection Process
In preparation for the release of the latest regional rankings tomorrow, I did a bit more research on the NCAA Tournament selection process. A quick Google search led me right to some great information, so it’s my duty to pass this along. Each D-II sport has its own selection committee, which for most sports is […]
National and regional D-II rankings, for starters
At this late date in the season, it’s worth looking at the national and regional rankings, especially the latter. The national rankings are interesting from a seeding perspective, but the regional rankings are the ones that determine who goes to the NCAA tournament and who does not. The national rankings are updated on Tuesdays (through […]
Second-half comeback lifts Bisons over Tigers, 77-68
This impressive win over the surging OBU Tigers lifts the Bisons (again) into a three-way tie for third place in the division at 6-4. Matt Hall made good from the free throw line, hitting 14 of his 16 attempts from there, on his way to scoring 27 points in the game. He also had 13 […]
Statesmen come from behind to win in Cleveland
The Bisons led the game most of the way, but they couldn’t hold of the Delta State offense at the end of the game, which ended in an 87-83 DSU victory. Rick Hamilton led the Bisons with 20 points, showing a much-needed scoring spark from someone not named Matt Hall. That wasn’t enough to stop […]
Rules of Engagement
Yesterday I posted about mock trial, one of the activities that dominated my four years in high school. Today, I’ll post about an activity that dominated my four years in college. This won’t be out of the ordinary for my blog, though: it’s about Harding basketball. For several years, I was a self-proclaimed Rhodes Rowdie […]
