I actually knew they did, but I’ve been moving pretty constantly since the middle of last week, and I haven’t had the chance to write up game summaries. It’s a good thing I don’t blog for a living, although I bet I could be decent at it if I didn’t have a pesky regular job. […]

Five-point lead not enough for Bisons in final minutes against UAM
The Bisons’ home win streak ended on Saturday night to the 19th-ranked Boll Weevils of Arkansas-Monticello. With under 1:30 remaining, the Bisons led by five, but a pair of UAM threes quickly turned the game around. Questionable GSC officiating reared its head again, as the Bisons were not awarded a legitimate free throw opportunity late […]
12th-ranked Bucs lose home thriller to Bisons
This would be a great time for Trent Morgan to start heating up again. The Bisons are in the middle of a very tough stretch of games against ranked GSC opponents, one that could define the early part of the season. They certainly were going to need at least one road win to stay competitive […]
Road woes continue for Bisons in loss to Arkansas Tech
Harding lost its fourth straight road game last night in Russellville, falling to a ranked Arkansas Tech team that benefitted from some inconvenient Bison foul trouble. The officiating crew called 52 fouls, including 28 on the Bisons and five on Brian Howard in just nine minutes on the floor. Of course, the problem with losing […]
Home win streak continues for Bisons against Southern Arkansas
It’s hard to stop a team that shoots threes well and does it consistently. The Bisons don’t do the latter, but they were lights-out last night from beyond the arc, making 14 of 27 outside shots as a team. It was just one of those games where everyone hit their shots, and SAU just couldn’t […]
Reddies topple Bisons for first D-II win
That was not a good start to the conference season, to say the least. Henderson State was 1-10 heading into last night’s 76-71 win over the Bisons, and the win was against Philander Smith. Anything can happen on a given night, but Bison fans would have to have expected a win here if the team […]
After lackluster first half, Bisons topple Texas College
This shouldn’t have been a particularly tough game, but the Bisons had trouble putting the clamps down on Texas College on Monday night. TC took plenty of shots from the field and made over 40%, and they also held Harding to a similar shooting performance. Unfortunately, fouls were the story of the game, and Texas […]
North Alabama tops Harding
The streak of strong Bison defensive performances ended on Saturday at North Alabama. The Lions still didn’t shoot 50% from the field, but they only had 7 turnovers, and they made 22 free throws en route to a 98-92 win over Harding. Five Bisons scored in double figures, led by Kevin Brown with 19 points […]
Bisons split two games at St. Mary's (TX)
I’ve been extremely busy since Friday, so we’re going to keep this short and sweet. The Bisons played in the St. Mary’s (TX) tournament in San Antonio over the weekend, beating SE Oklahoma on Saturday and losing to the host team on Sunday. That means their win streak ended at nine games. Perhaps they’ll stay […]
Harding Classic ends with home sweep
The Bisons’ win streak is now up to eight games after an impressive weekend sweep of the usual Alabama suspects, Alabama-Huntsville and North Alabama. The latter was ranked #15, and UAH has never been an easy victory. Harding 78, UAH 57 A glance at this box score leads me to believe that the Bisons played […]
