No one knew for sure when the game would end. However, when it finally did, the Bisons were victorious. In the 67th meeting between the two teams, the Bisons were able to squeeze out a 104-101 victory against Austin Peay State University. It did not come easily, though. The game was tied 11 different times, and the largest lead by any team was nine points. That lead was part of an early first-half run by the Bisons. The largest APSU lead was seven. The Governors held a steady lead for most of the second half with a few ties here and there, but the Bisons could never get on top and steal the momentum away from them. That all changed when APSU missed two consecutive free throws with under seven seconds left, followed by senior Josh Slater taking the ball from one end of the court to the other for a game-tying layup. The score at the end of regulation was 87-87. Those 87 points were the most allowed by Lipscomb this season, and Coach Scott Sanderson let his players know that. “Obviously we needed to get a stop,” senior center Adnan Hodzic said. “They are a great team with great forwards that can penetrate, and we just had to get one stop and the game was ours.” The Bisons got that stop. An early miss by Austin Peay let the Bisons take an early lead when Hodzic scored the first points of overtime. Hodzic went on to score six more in OT to lead the Bisons to the win. “I am just playing my role,” Hodzic said. “I have told...

Lipscomb University can be truly proud to present their rendition of the Broadway play “Ragtime.” With stellar casting, elaborate costuming and outstanding sets, this production is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Please upgrade your browser Based on the book written by Terrence McNally, this musical depicts the challenges of social and racial division in the early 20th century. Stephen Flaherty composed the music and Lynn Ahrens wrote the lyrics. In the beginning of the play, three groups of people are introduced: upper-class white families, working-class black families, and immigrants newly arrived in America. All of them are searching for a life, and struggling with the moral difficulties of social division. The production requires a large, vocally talented cast, which Director Mike Fernandez has been gifted with. The vocals are breathtaking and are complemented by the choreography. In addition, the elaborate costuming does the work credit, emphasizing the social and racial divide being showcased. Perhaps the coup de gras of the entire presentation is the outstanding set. The entire set is made of pipe and mounted on wheels so that it is moving, not only for scene changes but throughout most of the musical numbers. Other features include a swing that descends from the ceiling and a pulley that raises Harry Houdini above the stage. The time and effort that have gone into the set, costumes and acting will not disappoint – Ragtime is a...
