The Bisons withstood an unbelievable scoring performance by Nate Newell to fend off the UAM Boll Weevils in Friday night’s game. Newell had 41 points on 12-of-31(!!!) shooting, scoring well over half of his team’s 70 points for the game. That’s good for him, since he took 31 of the team’s 58 shots from the […]

There were no games in Searcy last night because of inclement weather, so the Bisons will host the UAM Boll Weevils tonight.  The Arkansas Tech-Henderson State game was also postponed, but the other four teams did play.  Since I have some games from Tuesday to review anyway, let’s go over those now. Tuesday, January 30 […]

I’ve added a glossary of basketball stats as a sub-page under the “basketball” main page.  This has been a long time coming, I know.  My goal was to be comprehensive for terms and acronyms that I use on the site, so if I left something out, don’t hesitate to let me know about it.  If something […]

Matt Hall, Matt Hall, Matt Hall.  Every post must start with Matt Hall.  That seems to be the case this year, which is remarkable given his injury last year and the pressure he has faced this year.  None of that seemed to matter in this game, which was nearly perfect for the junior forward.  Hall […]

It wasn’t exactly the most exciting performance, but Matt Hall’s 16-of-17 shooting at the free throw line helped him get to 27 points for the game.  No other Bison scored in double figures, and the team only had 65 points altogether in a relatively slow-paced game. You can find the story and the regular box […]

Before Saturday’s game, it was already clear that Henderson State was the best defensive team in the conference.  Their stingy 88.9 rating was only slightly better than Delta State’s 90.7, but HSU had played a far tougher schedule. This is not an excuse for a poor shooting performance like the one the Bisons endured on […]

The Bisons notched their 13th consecutive wondrous victory over the Arkansas Tech Wonder Boys last night.  Matt Hall, of course, led the way with 25 points and 11 rebounds, and Rick Hamilton added 22 to propel HU to victory. Stats and such:     HU ATU +/- Eff 95.0 84.6 10.3 TS% 50.6 45.7 4.9 […]

With this defeat, Harding has lost their second straight conference game and their seventh in eight games against D-II opposition.  All but one of these losses were on the road, and this was another close one, but it’s not easy to watch the losses pile up. The stats:   HU OBU +/- Eff 122.3 120.6 […]

Delta State was nationally ranked and on a nine-game win streak heading into this game in Searcy, but that doesn’t make last night’s home loss (78-65) easy to digest.  The reality is that DSU (now 12-2) has beaten up on lesser teams so far this season and, for the most part, only squeaked by some of the weaker […]
