Cold shooting and turnovers plagued the Bisons in last night’s loss to North Alabama in Florence, 79-68.  As if it weren’t already clear that Matt Hall’s performance is tremendously important for the Bisons’ success, last night’s effort proved that for sure.  Hall had one of his worst games in a Bisons uniform, shooting 5-of-15 from […]

The cupcake portion of the Harding basketball schedule is pretty much over. The next five games will go a long way toward showing where the Bisons stand in the GSC West. Are they really as good as they’ve been so far, with a +25 net efficiency so far this year that trumps the rest of […]

No starter played more than 14 minutes in a completely one-sided 97-44 affair.  Kellen Morgan led the Bisons with 16 points, but let’s face it, the team could basically score at will in this game.  There was no reason to throw up 28 threes (only hitting nine of them), so I’m not even sure this should […]

Saturday’s game was clearly an exciting one.  Here are the keys:     UNA HU +/-   Eff 107.8 117.2 -9.4 Actual net efficiency TS% 60.7 61.4 -0.007   OR% 28.2% 21.4% 0.068   TR 18.2 10.5 -0.078         -10.5 Predicted net efficiency   And the non-traditional stats: ## Player Name   MIN […]

I’ve been justifiably behind in posting game updates for this weekend’s basketball action.  The Bisons won a pair against Texas College and North Alabama.  Below are the keys and non-traditional individual stats from the Texas College game. The keys:   Away Home +/-   Eff 87.6 114.4 -26.8 Actual net efficiency TS% 46.7 57.9 -0.112 […]

This will probably come as a shock to pretty much anyone outside my immediate family. Today I bought a house. I can’t believe it, but I’m actually going to be a homeowner. I’ll be closing by the end of this month and probably using all of January to move in. Melissa and I are very […]

The Bisons won two games this weekend at home, the first against Texas College, and the second in OT against North Alabama of the GSC East.  I don’t have my latest stat update at home, so unless I want to do some double work, I won’t have all the stats until Monday.  I may have […]

This is embarrassing, and it’s probably some sort of sign.  Here’s the conference leaderboard in Brick Index (BI), which is a quick measure of whether a player’s tendency to shoot the ball often is hurting the team: Rank Team ## Player Name BI PER 1 HU 4 Cole Kee 8.3 2.64 2 ATU 3 Brandon […]

Ecclesia may have come to Searcy ready to play another D-II team, but they probably left demoralized after last night’s 109-50 beating at the hands of the Bisons. Here are the keys:   Away Home +/-   Eff 61.0 128.0 -67.0 Actual net efficiency TS% 37.4 61.8 -0.245   OR% 33.3% 42.1% -0.088   TR […]

Harding won their first home game of the season last night, 68-55 over the Alabama-Huntsville Chargers.  This game was hardly true to form for a Bisons win, which is typically characterized by hot shooting and  consistent defense.  In last night’s case, the Bisons outrebounded the comparatively unathletic Chargers by about 33% and turned the ball […]
