Following the departure of Matt Hall, I thought Kevin Brown would be the team’s go-to scorer, both because of his general talent around the basket and because there were really no other consistent options. It’s true that the Bisons have found another scoring threat for this season, but that threat goes by a different name: […]

Harding pounds Ecclesia for fifth straight win
I know I’m a day late on this one, but I haven’t had time to post this weekend. Too many Christmas parties and such. This will be much shorter than a usual game review. Field goal percentage defense was the story in this blowout 87-38 win by the Bisons. They held Ecclesia to 33% shooting […]
Bisons win close "tune-up" against Central Baptist
So much for a tune-up game. The Bisons won in unconvincing fashion on Tuesday night against an inferior opponent, beating CBC 78-69 but trailing the game with as few as 13 minutes to play. Trent Morgan had another solid shooting performance, finishing with a career-high 28 points on just 13 field goal attempts. Morgan’s scoring […]
Bisons win without me in Huntsville
I should just stay away from Huntsville in the future. The timing of this year’s Harding @ UAH game prevented me from going this year, and almost as if they knew I was at home, the Bisons pulled out an eight-point road win. It was a low-scoring game from the start, dictated by UAH’s trademark […]
Trent Morgan helps Bisons pull away late against Incarnate Word
The Bisons beat Incarnate word 81-74 after Morgan’s one-man run late in the game. Trent finished with a career-high 22 points and added seven rebounds (and six turnovers) as the Bisons won in front of a meager home crowd of 452. Harding’s Thanksgiving Break began after class on Friday, so I imagine the student attendance […]
Bisons cruise through home opener against overmatched Champion Baptist
When you have a streak going, you do whatever you can to keep it going. A baseball player might wear the same pair of underwear for weeks during a hot streak, and hockey players grow “playoff beards” in an attempt to prolong their postseason runs. The Bisons, with a home opener win streak of 27, […]
Harding loses season opener to Missouri S&T
An already-thin Bison lineup went up against a team with something to prove on Saturday night and met an equal match. Missouri S&T went 3-24 last year, but behind a handful of young returnees and some new talent, they took the first game of this season’s home-and-home series by a final (double-OT) score of 93-80. […]
Notes: November 14, 2008
This is a fascinating time of year for me. Not that there aren’t a lot of those times of year, but I especially love the fall season. College football is always compelling in November because of the BCS circus. I’m actually still competitive in all of my fantasy football leagues, which is a welcome change […]
Gulf South Conference Preview 2008-2009
These previews will be in descending order, using the team’s 2007-08 net efficiency, which I think is the best metric of overall team quality. Christian Brothers 2007-2008 Record: 22-10 Net Efficiency: +13.5 The Bucs have some significant losses: perennial star forward Kevin Weybright, starting guard Justin Ray, and reserve guard Roberto Casiano. Weybright is a […]
2008-2009 Harding Basketball Preview
Year 1 A.H. This year, we start with a blank slate. It is Year 1 A.H. (After Hall) for the Harding program, as one of the school’s all-time legends has graduated and moved on. Matt Hall was a freshman at the same time I was (in 2002-03), but he redshirted that year and watched the […]
