The first two days of the GSC Tournament have passed, and nearly everyone who was supposed to advance did advance. On Wednesday, the season ended for both of the West Division lower seeds. Both of them needed to win the tournament to realistically have a shot at the NCAAs. Here’s a quick summary: #4E Valdosta […]

The Bisons were one of four GSC West teams whose season came to a close on Saturday. Harding dropped the game 77-68 to a Henderson State team that finished its season winning 5 out of the last 6 games. The loss gave the Bisons their first sub-.500 season in conference play since I started following […]

The Bisons played a solid game on Senior Night to end the home season on a high note, beating Arkansas Tech 90-82. The game was followed by a fitting tribute to the three seniors on the squad: Lonnie Smith, Ceso Sprewell, and Brandon Sims. Unfortunately for the Bisons, the UAM Boll Weevils did not do […]

The Bisons took down the OBU Tigers tonight in Arkadelphia, 86-73, keeping themselves in the race for the GSC West’s fifth and final conference tournament slot. Christian Brothers’ overtime loss at Delta State drops them to 7-7, a game ahead of the 6-8 Bisons with two to play. Henderson State’s overtime victory over Arkansas Tech […]

Christian Brothers played a solid game backed by some enthusiastic traveling fans, but Kevin Weybright’s 35-foot shot to tie the game at the buzzer fell short, and the Bisons won 66-63. In yet another game marred by poor GSC officiating, the Bisons continued to battle and got just enough shots to fall. Here are the […]

The Bisons lost 72-55 last night in Conway, thanks to a startling display of poor shooting by a number of Bison regulars. Lonnie Smith was held to a season-low 8 points. He made just 2 of 14 shots from the field, missing all four of his attempts from inside the arc. Cole Kee led the […]

The Harding basketball teams picked up their first sweep of the conference season last night over the SAU Muleriders in Searcy in front of a less-than-average crowd at the Rhodes Field House. That’s too bad, because they were both good games, especially if you’re a fan of HU. Let’s look at the keys for the […]

Before the game, I was reading some of the discussion in this facebook group, trying to come up with a good response for why Rhodes Rowdies spend so much of their time and energy to support the Bisons (in their words, a mediocre D-II team). I don’t really feel the need to defend myself for […]

114-31 was not the final score of this game, but it was the final score of one of Champion Baptist’s losses this year. 94-67 was also not the score of this game, but it was the final score of Harding’s game on December 2nd. What do these games have in common? They were played against […]
