Bisons Basketball enter finals with 96-72 win over Trececca Trojans

After a rocky first half, the Bisons turned things around in the second half — taking a solid win over the Trevecca Trojans 96-72.  This is the team’s first home win since the home opener against Rhodes on November 5th.  Last week after the Bisons’ loss, Coach Acuff said, “I promise you, we get to January, we’re gonna be a tough battle.”  This win is just one step to that “tough-battle” team coming in January.  Ahsan Asadullah was a star player in tonight’s game. With 21 points, a career-high 8 assists and 6 rebounds. Asadullah shot 11-15 from the field.  KJ Johnson also scored 21 points, 17 of which were in the second half.  Michael Buckland and Greg Jones each shot 15 points as well. The Bisons only shot 50 percent from the field in the first half, allowing the Trojans to gain a 46-44 lead going into the second half.  The Bisons came back ready for battle and shot 68.8 percent from the field. This win improves the Bisons record to 4-6 on the year.  Despite the rough start and a small crowd, due to finals and Christmas break, the Bisons still pulled out a win before they enter their longest stretch of the season without a game. After what is hopefully a confidence-boosting win, the Bisons will return to Allen Arena Dec. 17 against Tennessee Tech at 6:30...

Lipscomb students have spent countless hours over the last week studying for finals.  Now, they can take some much needed time off to recuperate. “I am so glad finals are over,” said sophomore Cory Sanders. “I can’t wait to go home and be with my family.  I will probably get some duck hunting in, too.” This is a special time of year when Lipscomb students get an extended break to relax and be with family, as home is a long way from Nashville for many students. “I am from Pennsylvania, so it is important for me to be at home for Christmas,” said senior Micah Fleming. “I will be spending a lot of time with my family, which will be nice since I don’t see them much anymore.” Christmas is viewed in many different ways.  Some see it as the time they get to open presents and be with family. This Christmas, however, will not include presents for one Lipscomb student. “This year my family has decided not to give each other presents,” said senior Karley Harris. “We have decided to take a family trip instead. “I think this is a great way to spend Christmas, because it allows us to relax and be surrounded with the people we love.” What would Christmas be without traditions? A lot of families will put up the tree and string Christmas lights on their houses, but some students have unique traditions. “My mom started this tradition when I was young. We make a birthday cake and sing...
