SEARCY – Senior Jacob Gibson and junior Will Francis had 18 points each to lead Harding to a 79-76 victory over Arkansas Tech on Monday in Great American Conference action at the Rhodes-Reaves Field House.

Gibson made 5-of-10 from 3-point range and became only the second Harding player ever to reach 200 3-point field goals in a career. He is six behind Aaron Farley's school record of 206.

Harding improved to 14-9 overall and 13-5 in the GAC and remained in third place, one game behind leaders Ouachita Baptist and East Central. Arkansas Tech fell to 13-11 overall and 8-10 in the GAC. The Wonder Boys are tied with Southeastern Oklahoma for eighth place. The top eight teams advance to the GAC Tournament on Mar. 3 in Bartlesville, Oklahoma.

Harding took a 14-point lead at 20-6 in the first half on a Gibson 3-pointer with 13:04 left, but three Bison starters collected two fouls and Tech took advantage. The Wonder Boys outscored the Bisons 17-5 over the final 7½ minutes of the half and led 35-33 at halftime.

Blake McNair made a 3-pointer on Harding's first possession of the second half, and the Bisons never trailed again. The lead grew to as many as 14 points three times, the third coming on a Reggie Anthony layup with 7:26 left.

An Anthony 3-pointer with 3:39 remaining gave the Bisons a 74-64 lead, but an 8-0 Tech run over the next minute-and-a-half trimmed Harding's lead to two points. Anthony hit another key shot on a driving layup, and McNair made three free throws down the stretch to seal the victory.
