Hats off to Harding County, Courtney said. They played an outstanding basketball game and they shot the lights out. Coach Wammen does a great job with his kids and I have a great deal of respect for their program. We could not stop them, they just played a great game. I was really proud of our kids, we were down 12 or 13 in the fourth and we battled back.
