Introduction Going back to the old days of writing about Harding basketball, I present a statistical preview of the 2013 Central Regional section of the NCAA D-II men’s basketball tournament, which starts Saturday in Mankato, Minnesota. The Bisons are not exactly favored, nor should they be, but this was interesting for me to write because […]

Basketball season approaching, and I'm MIA?
For most, this will be a rather uninteresting “excuse” post, something I’ve had a bad habit of doing over 5 years of somewhat irregular blogging. As infrequent as my non-Braves posts have been in the last year or so, it will probably come as no surprise that I’ve decided to further reduce my bloggy footprint. […]
Bison Basketball 2009-10 Schedule
View the full schedule here. Harding has posted the Bisons’ schedule for the upcoming basketball season, which will be their first second without Matt Hall since I was a freshman in 2002-03 (and he was there then, only as a redshirt). [The post-Hall era has clearly been uneventful, since I had trouble recalling that last […]
Former HU basketball player to be charged in wife's death
This is an awful, awful developing story out of Memphis. Micah Rine Pate, an ’06 graduate of Harding’s nursing school, was last seen on Thursday night after leaving her house for an evening jog. She initially was reported as missing, but her husband Thomas, a former HU basketball player, has reportedly confessed to accidentally killing […]
Hot shooting turns cold, and Bisons fall in GSC semis
The Bisons’ season ended on Saturday in what had to be a frustrating shooting performance for the entire team. Harding made just 3 of 21 three-point attempts and lost to eventual GSC champion Arkansas Tech 73-63. The Wonder Boys owned the Bisons on the boards in this game, nabbing 20 of 38 offensive rebound chances […]
Bisons shoot their way past West Alabama in GSC Tourney
Great three-point shooting and solid defense carried the Bisons to an opening-round victory last night in the GSC Tournament. Harding defeated West Alabama 82-56, and the Bisons got out to such a hot start that it was never a close game. Sam Brown led the team with four threes and 16 points, but three other […]
Bisons play it dangerously close, but reach GSC Tourney yet again
Quick aside for starters: Unlike pretty much every D-I conference (and most in D-II), not everyone makes the GSC tournament. Since it’s such a large conference, only the top 5 teams in each 8-team division make it, and the #4-5 teams have to play a first-round game while everyone else gets a bye. This works […]
Weekend losses drop Bisons to 5-7 in GSC
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
