View the full schedule here. Harding has posted the Bisons’ schedule for the upcoming basketball season, which will be their first second without Matt Hall since I was a freshman in 2002-03 (and he was there then, only as a redshirt). [The post-Hall era has clearly been uneventful, since I had trouble recalling that last […]

Bison Basketball ranked #24 in latest NABC poll
The Bisons have never been ranked in an in-season NABC/Division-II coaches’ poll, at least not until now. They were ranked #21 in the preseason poll two years ago but quickly fell out. Two other GSC West teams are in the top 25, with UAM at #8 and Ouachita at #16. The only ranked team from […]
Conferences of the South Region: Strength of Schedule
The differences between South Region conferences are probably murkier this year than in years past. There were 31 inter-conference games between the GSC, SSC, and SIAC, though, and I’ll make an attempt to say something about the conferences’ relative quality. Gulf South Conference The GSC played in 30 of those 31 games, but what’s also […]
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, […]

GSC Tournament updated log5, stats, and quick recaps
The opening round games were last night, and everything went pretty much as expected. That’s bad news, at least relatively speaking, for the favorites, who suffer slightly in the updated Log5 predictions because of the increasing quality of their potential opponents. Some quick recaps: #5W Arkansas Tech 65, #4E Alabama-Huntsville 49 The Chargers bowed out […]
GSC Tournament Log5 Predictions
Here are each team’s chances of winning the GSC Tournament, courtesy of the Log5 method: A few notes: Christian Brothers has been the best team in the GSC West by point differential, so that and their #2 seed gave them an edge over Harding, despite the tougher quarterfinal matchup. Even though UAH beat the Bisons […]
2007-2008 GSC Preseason Predictions: Revisited
The theme of this post should be considered less “I told you so” than it is “preseason predictions are basically futile.” Each year, both the GSC coaches and I evaluate the GSC West and pick the division standings before the season. Each year, we’re both wrong. In fact, the “I told you so” angle is […]
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 […]
