Great three-point shooting and solid defense carried the Bisons to an opening-round victory last night in the GSC Tournament. Harding defeated West Alabama 82-56, and the Bisons got out to such a hot start that it was never a close game. Sam Brown led the team with four threes and 16 points, but three other […]

Weekend losses drop Bisons to 5-7 in GSC
Christian Brothers 77, Harding 67 #10 Christian Brothers visited Searcy on Thursday hoping to get a little revenge for Trent Morgan’s buzzer-beater earlier this season in Memphis. They did just that, holding the Bisons to 36% shooting from the field in a 77-67 win. Nick Kohs and Reggie Peyton scored 45 of CBU’s points, while […]
12th-ranked Bucs lose home thriller to Bisons
This would be a great time for Trent Morgan to start heating up again. The Bisons are in the middle of a very tough stretch of games against ranked GSC opponents, one that could define the early part of the season. They certainly were going to need at least one road win to stay competitive […]
Gulf South Conference Preview 2008-2009
These previews will be in descending order, using the team’s 2007-08 net efficiency, which I think is the best metric of overall team quality. Christian Brothers 2007-2008 Record: 22-10 Net Efficiency: +13.5 The Bucs have some significant losses: perennial star forward Kevin Weybright, starting guard Justin Ray, and reserve guard Roberto Casiano. Weybright is a […]
Christian Brothers fends off pesky Bisons to win GSC Tournament
I’m glad this game was televised, because there really is a lot to say about the play of both teams in this game, which wasn’t as close as the 93-89 final score might indicate. CBU led almost the entire way, by 14 at the half, and by as many as 23 in the second half, […]
Shooting woes help Bucs sink Bisons, but Harding ends up with #1 seed
The rims were on shooting lockdown Saturday in Memphis, and the Bisons couldn’t muster up enough offense to stick with Christian Brothers, losing 70-56 to the West Division’s current hottest team in the regular season finale. The two teams combined for 35 3-point attempts and made just three of them: 1-for-12 for the Bisons and […]
Making the GSC Tournament: Possible Scenarios
The Bisons cut down the nets after last night’s game, since it was the first time in the 50-year history of the program that the Harding men finished tied for a conference (or really the division) championship. They still have some work to do, though, if they want to win a GSC Championship and make […]
Weekend surge pushes Bisons to the front
My mind has mostly been elsewhere in the last day or so, but I was paying attention to the games last week, and hopefully I can throw out a few good thoughts. Harding 69, Southern Arkansas 66 [TABLE=87] The Bisons mitigated the negative effects of Steven Barnett’s slippery handle (8 turnovers) with an impressive rebounding […]
GSC Predictions 2007-2008
I’ve used this space a lot over the past few years to throw out opinions about D-II basketball, but I try to emphasize that the prediction game is an awfully tough one to play. At the Division-II level, many of the players are either total unknowns or washed-up former high-school, JC, and even D-I stars […]
GSC Preview 2007-2008: Christian Brothers
This year, Mike Nienaber’s fellow GSC coaches realized that he knows what he’s doing with the Christian Brothers program, and they voted the Bucs #1 in the preseason GSC West poll. They didn’t finish first last year, as I had predicted, but things should be different this time around. Before we get to this year, though, […]
