The Muleriders made a couple of late runs, but they couldn’t catch the Bisons last night in Magnolia.  The Bisons won 64-61 over the other currently hot team in the division, and now they own the division’s longest active winning streak at four games. The stats: HU SAU +/- Eff 102.1 92.0 10.1 TS% 51.9 […]

I’m working on getting the South Region Tracker together for this week.  With the Bisons playing a regular Thursday/Saturday schedule, I’ve had a hard time getting motivated to do anything until the weekend.  Add my recent sickness into the equation, and I’ve done nothing on this since Sunday.  Hopefully by this evening, I’ll have everything […]

I’ve been out sick from work the past two days because I battled an extreme case of nausea yesterday.  I probably threw up about 15 times between 6:30 and 4:00 yesterday, so I went to the ER, where they pumped some fluids in me and sent me home (after about a 4-hour wait).  I’m feeling […]

A wild finish this afternoon in Arkadelphia went the Bisons’ way, lifting them to 8-4 and a now-two-way tie for second place in the GSC West. Matt Hall’s three-pointer with mere seconds to play gave Harding the 58-55 road victory over rival Henderson State. The Keys HU HSU +/- Eff 86.9 82.5 4.4 TS% 47.0 […]

The Bisons held off a hapless Arkansas Tech team in Searcy on Thursday night. It appears that they do just fine, even when I’m not even aware that they’re playing. Let’s get some stats out there.   ATU HU +/-               Eff 100.0 117.7 -17.7         […]

It’s Valentine’s Day, and I can’t think of anything more romantic than a little D-II basketball discussion.  Um, yeah. Anyway, this is as good a time as any to unveil what I’m going to call the South Region Tracker, for lack of a better term.  I’m going to rank each of the NCAA tournament-qualified South […]

In preparation for the release of the latest regional rankings tomorrow, I did a bit more research on the NCAA Tournament selection process.  A quick Google search led me right to some great information, so it’s my duty to pass this along. Each D-II sport has its own selection committee, which for most sports is […]

At this late date in the season, it’s worth looking at the national and regional rankings, especially the latter. The national rankings are interesting from a seeding perspective, but the regional rankings are the ones that determine who goes to the NCAA tournament and who does not. The national rankings are updated on Tuesdays (through […]

This impressive win over the surging OBU Tigers lifts the Bisons (again) into a three-way tie for third place in the division at 6-4.  Matt Hall made good from the free throw line, hitting 14 of his 16 attempts from there, on his way to scoring 27 points in the game.  He also had 13 […]

The Bisons led the game most of the way, but they couldn’t hold of the Delta State offense at the end of the game, which ended in an 87-83 DSU victory. Rick Hamilton led the Bisons with 20 points, showing a much-needed scoring spark from someone not named Matt Hall. That wasn’t enough to stop […]
