This one probably wasn’t expected to be close, so it’s good to see the Bisons play another efficient game and get their record over .500 (now 6-5). [TABLE=35] With the defense focused squarely on Matt Hall, the other Bisons did a great job taking (and making) good shots. Hall had 20 points, but it took […]

#8 Drury gets 33 Christmas presents in home win over Harding
Harding shot and rebounded well enough to pick up a huge road victory over Drury this afternoon in Springfield, Missouri, but the Bisons must have been feeling charitable. After all, Christmas is just around the corner. They turned the ball over 33 times en route to a frustrating close defeat against a good Division-II team. […]
Harding homestand ends with dominant win
Sure, it was Central Baptist, but a win’s a win, at least unless you’re the NCAA Selection Committee. The Bisons forced turnovers on over 25% of CBC possessions and held their True Shooting percentage under 40, which meant CBC just wasn’t going to score a lot of points in this one. That turned out to […]
Harding earns home split vs. Alabama schools
The Bisons edged North Alabama tonight, powered by another great effort from Matt Hall and some scoring support from the guard tandem of Trent Morgan and Steven Barnett. [TABLE=22] Both teams shot incredibly well. Harding was a made three-pointer short of giving both teams a 50% shooting night from beyond the arc, and both teams […]
Bisons fall to 1-2 against D-II competition with home split
Sometimes I’m not sure it’s worthwhile to refer to a team’s overall record at this point in the season. The Bisons are now 3-4, but there’s more to say about that record than the simple fact that HU is under .500. Harding has played two D-I schools and lost both games, while they’ve played two […]
Frenetic Early Run lifts Harding past Champion Baptist, 109-64
Freshman Matt Ragsdale and senior Matt Hall each scored 20 points in a game that was a rout from the start. The Bisons started the game on an 18-0 run and didn’t look back against Champion Baptist, a school that has been in existence for all of three years. [TABLE=18] This game was a display […]
Matt Hall's 36 not enough against WTAMU
We’re essentially two games into the 2007-2008 season, if you don’t count the D-I games, and the Matt Hall Show is in full effect. Hall scored 36 tonight against Buffalo Classic tournament host West Texas A&M, but the Bisons ended up on the losing end of an 86-80 final score. Matt Hall had 36 points, […]
Harding survives rough shooting night to beat Northeastern State
Some wins make you feel good, while others just make you glad you survived. Last night was one of the latter type of wins for the Bisons, who shot just 5-of-17 from beyond the arc and 6-of-16 from the free throw line against Northeastern State, a member of the D-II Lone Star Conference. The former […]
Bisons drop opening two games against D-I opponents
Harding drops to 0-10 all-time against Divsion-I opponents by starting the season with two losses at the Price Cutter Classic in Springfield, Missouri. I thought they might have a chance against UT-Pan Am, but that level of opposition is still too much for a Bisons squad that clearly has a lot of things left to […]
