Good, disciplined teams have a tendency to pick up fewer fouls than their opponents for a variety of reasons. Whether it’s superior athleticism or speed, as in the ability to alter an offensive approach without making contact with the opponent, or simply smart play around the basket, good teams do this. Harding was a good […]

Obviously not looking ahead to OBU, Harding throttles Delta State
What? A game review the day after the game? Is this 2005 or something? Believe me, I’m as surprised as you are. Once you get your head around the idea that I’m actually doing a somewhat timely review, we have some game action to break down. [TABLE=92] The Bisons basically did what they’ve been doing […]
Last-second shot falls short as Bisons lose to Weevils
To say that there is parity in the GSC West right now is like saying there are some Republicans in the Church of Christ. Everyone knows it and deals with it, some better than others, while a few outcasts (Democrats, Muleriders/Reddies) serve as onlookers. After Thursday’s round of GSC games, the top six teams in […]
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 […]
Weekend in Review: Bisons lose their first GSC game
Arkansas Tech 64, Harding 60 Thursday night’s game was a battle between GSC West unbeatens, and Arkansas Tech edged Harding in Searcy, 64-60. The Wonder Boys have emerged this year as a very good team because of their strong backcourt of Darren Tarver and Terrance Whiters. Add a handful of efficient role players, and it’s […]
Ouachita keeps it close, but ultimately falls to 3-0 Bisons
The last time the Bisons started a conference season 3-0, they made it to the NCAA tournament. I’m not convinced that this year’s team is as good as that one, but it’s hard to argue if they keep winning. Matt Hall had 24 points, and he got enough help from Trent Morgan (13), Chris Dixon […]
Bisons fly past Statesmen en route to first road win, second GSC win
Harding and Delta State are fairly consistently the GSC West leaders in one category: pace. This one was a barn-burner, but even when you account for the fast pace, Delta State clearly wasn’t ready to play defense last night. [TABLE=47] Prior to last night, Delta State was averaging a 104.0 defensive rating against Division II […]
Hall blows up in GSC opener
The scouting report on Harding probably goes something like this: Double-cover Hall because he will be taking a lot of shots from everywhere on the floor. Don’t let the outside shooters beat you, because no one’s really going to post up that often. When someone does go inside, it’s probably okay to make contact. GSC […]
Harding drops to 6-7, still winless on the road
I really miss going to Harding basketball games. When you’re in attendance, you notice so many things that a recap and box score simply won’t tell you. That’s part of why I appreciate those of you who comment after going to a game. This one had so many subplots that I just wouldn’t be able […]
Bisons fall at UNA
Harding played without starting point guard Steven Barnett in last night’s 99-84 loss at North Alabama. Barnett is attending his grandfather’s funeral, and he will be unavailable for tomorrow’s game as well. I’d like to pass along my best wishes as well, and I’m sure the team missed him on the floor.Kevin Brown started in […]
