Lipscomb fans itching for upcoming season with release of men’s basketball non-conference schedule
Lipscomb men’s basketball head coach, Kevin Carroll, announced the team’s out-of-conference slate for the upcoming 2026-2027 season on Wednesday, Aug. 26. The schedule features 18 out-of-conference games this year, compared to just 13 a season ago. This is credited to the formation of the United Athletic Conference (UAC), which took five Atlantic Sun (ASUN) teams from last season, leaving Lipscomb with just seven conference opponents, with the addition of West Florida, shortening the Bisons’ conference slate from 18 to 14. Students, faculty, coaches and players are eagerly awaiting the season opener on Nov. 7 against SIU Edwardsville. The game circled on everyone’s calendar, however, is the following home game on…

Lipscomb blows two-goal cushion, allows four unanswered in first home game defeat
The Lipscomb Bisons (0-2-1) fell to the Georgia State Panthers (3-0-1) 4-2 in a six-goal battle on Wednesday, Sept. 2.

For the first 10 minutes, possession was dominated by Georgia State, as no real chances came for Lipscomb. That narrative changed as the Bisons connected on their real chance. A shot from freshman midfielder Tobías Sosa in the 10th minute found the back of the net as Lipscomb drew first blood. From that moment, Lipscomb began to dominate posession and produce the most clean chances near the net. “The back line was moving and working…

2026 and then: Allen Arena marks its 25th anniversary
Lipscomb Athletic Director Philip Hutcheson and former basketball star can still recall the visceral charm of McQuiddy Gymnasium, where fans were so close they had to make room just to let a player throw an inbound pass. To anyone who saw a game there, it felt less like a modern college campus and more like a scene straight out of the movie Hoosiers. But as Lipscomb University set its sights on the national stage of NCAA Division 1 athletics at the turn of the millennium, the beloved McQuiddy was no longer enough to hold the school’s growing ambitions. McQuiddy Gymnasium This year marks the 25th anniversary of the opening of Allen…

Or Ashkenazi breaks ground as one of first in new pro-to-college pipeline
Or Ashkenazi finished his freshman year at Lipscomb, playing basketball, but it looked a little different than most. Ashkenazi broke the typical freshman athlete mold, starting college at 22 years old after playing three years of pro basketball overseas. Most athletes tend to go to college first, and then go pro, so someone doing it the other way around brings up two prevalent questions: first, why? And second, how? Coming to the United States from Eilat, Israel, Ashkenazi chose Lipscomb University, out of nearly 6,000 U.S. universities and colleges. Yet he came to the States after three years of professional basketball with Hapoel Eilat, a First Division Israeli pro…
