When you have a streak going, you do whatever you can to keep it going. A baseball player might wear the same pair of underwear for weeks during a hot streak, and hockey players grow “playoff beards” in an attempt to prolong their postseason runs. The Bisons, with a home opener win streak of 27, […]

Harding loses season opener to Missouri S&T
An already-thin Bison lineup went up against a team with something to prove on Saturday night and met an equal match. Missouri S&T went 3-24 last year, but behind a handful of young returnees and some new talent, they took the first game of this season’s home-and-home series by a final (double-OT) score of 93-80. […]
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 […]
Tampa outlasts Harding in South Region quarterfinal
I’ll have a more full-featured review of the last game of the Bisons’ season this week, but the rest of the weekend’s basketball action has me mostly distracted right now. Harding lost to a better Tampa team in Lakeland, although the Spartans were only marginally better. HU will have some pieces in place next year, […]
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 […]
Senior Night win helps HU clinch a share of GSC West title
SAU fought hard, as they typically do, but at the end of the night, they have still only beaten Henderson State (twice) in conference play. Harding emerged with stronger play over the last few minutes of a very close game and won 73-70, clinching at least a tie for first place in the GSC West. […]
Overtime loss, televised win make for an exciting weekend
Arkansas Tech 87, Harding 82 (OT) [TABLE=94] It doesn’t get much more simple than this: had Harding taken care of the basketball in the last few minutes of regulation and in overtime, they would be 10-2 and have clinched at least a tie for the division lead. Despite a solid all-around shooting performance (even with […]
