The last time the Bisons started a conference season 3-0, they made it to the NCAA tournament. I’m not convinced that this year’s team is as good as that one, but it’s hard to argue if they keep winning. Matt Hall had 24 points, and he got enough help from Trent Morgan (13), Chris Dixon […]

Bisons fly past Statesmen en route to first road win, second GSC win
Harding and Delta State are fairly consistently the GSC West leaders in one category: pace. This one was a barn-burner, but even when you account for the fast pace, Delta State clearly wasn’t ready to play defense last night. [TABLE=47] Prior to last night, Delta State was averaging a 104.0 defensive rating against Division II […]
Weekly Notes: January 17, 2008
Notes are a day early, since I hope to have a game review for you tomorrow. Melissa and I finished The Bourne Ultimatum on Tuesday night, and I was left with just one question: Can I think of another trilogy of action movies more (collectively) satisfying than the Bourne trilogy? I couldn’t. Ars Technica has […]
Hall blows up in GSC opener
The scouting report on Harding probably goes something like this: Double-cover Hall because he will be taking a lot of shots from everywhere on the floor. Don’t let the outside shooters beat you, because no one’s really going to post up that often. When someone does go inside, it’s probably okay to make contact. GSC […]
Weekly Notes: January 11, 2008
2008 is already flying by for me because of the giant task at work known as YEAR END. Here’s what I’ve been thinking about this week: I’ve been thinking a lot about Ron Paul, and I want to make it clear that I don’t actually think he’s racist. I dug a bit more into the […]
Harding drops to 6-7, still winless on the road
I really miss going to Harding basketball games. When you’re in attendance, you notice so many things that a recap and box score simply won’t tell you. That’s part of why I appreciate those of you who comment after going to a game. This one had so many subplots that I just wouldn’t be able […]
Bisons fall at UNA
Harding played without starting point guard Steven Barnett in last night’s 99-84 loss at North Alabama. Barnett is attending his grandfather’s funeral, and he will be unavailable for tomorrow’s game as well. I’d like to pass along my best wishes as well, and I’m sure the team missed him on the floor.Kevin Brown started in […]
If you ask me, stats are a pretty good Christmas present
So I have updated the GSC team stats through Friday’s games. Henderson State’s still missing a box score, so they’ll have to post that if they want me to recognize their only win of the season so far (against Harris-Stowe of the NAIA). Right now, Christian Brothers and OBU are the pace-setters, with HSU dragging […]
Harding blows out Ecclesia heading into the break
This one probably wasn’t expected to be close, so it’s good to see the Bisons play another efficient game and get their record over .500 (now 6-5). [TABLE=35] With the defense focused squarely on Matt Hall, the other Bisons did a great job taking (and making) good shots. Hall had 20 points, but it took […]
D-I Basketball Rankings: December 10, 2007
I know today is December 12th, but I did these rankings on Monday. I was having some issues with my tables plugin (apparently I can’t use punctuation in the imported data), but I seem to have that worked out. [TABLE=34] Big movers include Xavier, whose strength of schedule keeps improving with their record, and NC […]
