HU blown out at D-I Northwestern State

The Bisons lost 89-61 this afternoon against a very tough Northwestern State team in Natchitoches, Louisiana. NSU was coming off a road victory at Oklahoma State (Eddie Sutton’s second non-conference home loss in his illustrious career), so this was not entirely surprising. Northwestern State also made Jay Bilas’ Power 16 on ESPN.com this week, although […]

Bisons take Mustangs for a ride, win 109-80

Harding reached its highest point total of the year in taking down the Central Baptist College Mustangs tonight, 109-80. The win marked the sixth in a row for HU, which has started the year 6-0 at home, 7-1 overall. Lonnie Smith led the way for the Bisons with a career-high 37 points. He amazingly shot […]

Revisiting the GSC's top players

Remember my player groupings from a week or so ago? Let’s revisit where the GSC West players stand based on my schedule-strength-adjusted PER ratings so far. I’ve changed some of the boundaries for the levels to even out the number of players. Elite players (aPER > 25): Kenny Langhorne (SAU), Randy George (HSU), Jasper Johnson […]

Bisons win a battle to the finish against UNA

The Bisons won a hard-fought game against GSC East foe North Alabama tonight, 99-92, overcoming countless lead changes and very poor officiating in the process. During one stretch midway through the second half, Harding turned the ball over twice in a row on incorrect traveling and out-of-bounds calls. The out-of-bounds call was the most egregious […]

Bisons avenge only loss, defeat UAH at home

The Bisons rallied from an early deficit to take down the Alabama-Huntsville Chargers at home last night. The Chargers had beaten the Bisons by 12 in Huntsville eight days earlier, but HU played a more inspired game this time around, taking out the usually fundamentally-sound UAH team. The Chargers did manage to stifle Lonnie Smith […]

Stats are up

The team and individual stats are up for this season. You can download the nice, neat Excel file here in order to view them. I will update that file throughout the season, and I will save old files by date within that /files folder. I wouldn’t pay a lot of attention to the early stats, […]

Bisons bounce back, split Alabama road trip

The Bisons took down the North Alabama Lions this afternoon in Florence, 86-78. The win gets the team back on track after a tough loss Monday night in Huntsville. Lonnie Smith led the way with 29 points, while Patrick Andrepont had nine rebounds and five assists. Smith’s game score of 25.0 was his second effort […]
