Posgame Interview with Jeff Morgan


WEATHERFORD, Okla. – Harding trimmed Southwestern Oklahoma's 11-point, second-half lead down to two points with less than a minute left, but the Bulldogs held off the Bisons 81-76 Saturday in Great American Conference action at the Pioneer Cellular Event Center.

Southwestern won its third straight game, all at home, and improved to 3-1 overall and 2-0 in the GAC. Harding dropped to 1-3 overall and 1-1 in conference.

The game was tied 38-38, but Southwestern scored the first seven points of the second half and never trailed again.

Harding's Blake McNair made a free throw at the 12:44 mark to tie the game again at 55-55. Southwestern scored the next five points, and Harding never got it even again.
