The opening round games were last night, and everything went pretty much as expected. That’s bad news, at least relatively speaking, for the favorites, who suffer slightly in the updated Log5 predictions because of the increasing quality of their potential opponents. Some quick recaps: #5W Arkansas Tech 65, #4E Alabama-Huntsville 49 The Chargers bowed out […]

GSC Tournament Log5 Predictions
Here are each team’s chances of winning the GSC Tournament, courtesy of the Log5 method: A few notes: Christian Brothers has been the best team in the GSC West by point differential, so that and their #2 seed gave them an edge over Harding, despite the tougher quarterfinal matchup. Even though UAH beat the Bisons […]
2007-2008 GSC Preseason Predictions: Revisited
The theme of this post should be considered less “I told you so” than it is “preseason predictions are basically futile.” Each year, both the GSC coaches and I evaluate the GSC West and pick the division standings before the season. Each year, we’re both wrong. In fact, the “I told you so” angle is […]
Shooting woes help Bucs sink Bisons, but Harding ends up with #1 seed
The rims were on shooting lockdown Saturday in Memphis, and the Bisons couldn’t muster up enough offense to stick with Christian Brothers, losing 70-56 to the West Division’s current hottest team in the regular season finale. The two teams combined for 35 3-point attempts and made just three of them: 1-for-12 for the Bisons and […]
Making the GSC Tournament: Possible Scenarios
The Bisons cut down the nets after last night’s game, since it was the first time in the 50-year history of the program that the Harding men finished tied for a conference (or really the division) championship. They still have some work to do, though, if they want to win a GSC Championship and make […]
Senior Night win helps HU clinch a share of GSC West title
SAU fought hard, as they typically do, but at the end of the night, they have still only beaten Henderson State (twice) in conference play. Harding emerged with stronger play over the last few minutes of a very close game and won 73-70, clinching at least a tie for first place in the GSC West. […]
Testing 1…2…3…
Posts have been sparse around here lately, aside from the occasional game review, but I have been working on a number of infrastructure improvements for displaying stats. For the next week or so, I’ll be testing Google Docs as a solution, since that will theoretically allow me to embed published spreadsheets into a post, page, […]
Overtime loss, televised win make for an exciting weekend
Arkansas Tech 87, Harding 82 (OT) [TABLE=94] It doesn’t get much more simple than this: had Harding taken care of the basketball in the last few minutes of regulation and in overtime, they would be 10-2 and have clinched at least a tie for the division lead. Despite a solid all-around shooting performance (even with […]
National TV shows Bisons (and Harding) at their best
I’ll have stats for you on Monday, but I wanted to go ahead and share a few thoughts about the TV coverage of this afternoon’s 72-59 home win over Henderson State. CSTV was incredibly kind to Harding and the fans on-air, making repeated comments about the quality of Harding’s student body, the spirited crowd, and […]
Weekly Notes: February 21, 2008
I didn’t do any notes last week, so here’s what’s going on: Let’s start with a quick comment or two on today’s big NYT story about John McCain’s relationship with a lobbyist: I don’t much care about the adultery angle, nor do I think this was a sinister plot by the Times to destroy the […]
