ARKADELPHIA, Ark. — Josh Denton's late 3-pointers and a perfect 21-of-21 performance at the free throw line propelled Harding to an 86-75 victory over Henderson State in Great American Conference men's basketball action Saturday.

Rylie Marshall led Harding with 22 points, while Sam Smith added 16 points and nine rebounds. Denton scored 14 points, connecting on 4-of-5 3-pointers.
The win marked Harding's first victory in Arkadelphia since 2017.
Harding's perfect free throw shooting broke the previous record of 16 without a miss, set in 2016. The Bisons also made 13 of 27 3-pointers, their fifth game this season with 10 or more.
