Today in Harding Sports Top 10
  1. Harding women's basketball will open the day's action with a 5:30 tipoff against Henderson State in the Rhodes-Reaves Field House.
  2. A victory by Harding's women clinches the No. 4 seed in the Great American Conference Tournament. A Harding loss, coupled with a Southeastern Oklahoma win would result in a tie with both teams at 11-11 in conference. The teams would also be tied in all the tiebreakers, so a coin flip would determine the No. 4 and No. 5 seeds. The teams would then meet in the quarterfinals of the GAC Tournament next Friday in Bartlesville, Oklahoma.
  3. Henderson State won the first meeting between the teams this season 79-64 in Arkadelphia, but Harding has won 10 of the last 11 meetings in Searcy.
  4. Harding ranks third nationally with 668 free-throw attempts.
  5. Three Harding seniors will be honored in a postgame ceremony. Sydney Layrock, Falan Miller and Mackenzie McNamara will be playing in their final home games as Lady Bisons.
  6. Harding's men will take the court at the Rhodes-Reaves Field House at 7:30 p.m. to close out its season against Henderson State.
  7. Both Harding and Henderson State have been eliminated from GAC Tournament contention.
  8. Henderson State won the first meeting between the teams 85-81 in Arkadelphia on Jan. 18.
  9. Harding is 4-7 at home this season and has won three of its last five. Henderson State is 3-7 on the road and has lost three of its last four.
  10. Harding seniors Tim Wagner, Zac Ward and Mitchell Kirby will be honored on Senior Night in a postgame ceremony.
