Game Notes

RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. - The No. 15 Arkansas Tech Golden Suns basketball team (19-2, 17-0 Great American Conference) will look to claim the outright GAC regular-season title when it travels to Searcy, Ark. for a conference matchup with second-place Harding (14-7, 12-5 GAC). Tonight's tip-off is set for a 5:30 p.m. start.

With five games to play in the regular season, Tech has a five-game lead on Harding; any win by the Golden Suns or loss by the Lady Bisons down the stretch will give the Golden Suns the outright championship and overall top seed in the upcoming Great American Conference championship tournament in Bartlesville.
