ASUN underdogs on their way to fight for the banner
When Lipscomb men’s basketball head coach Kevin Carroll took over the program, there were just a few days left with an open transfer portal. Most of Lipscomb’s basketball players had already graduated or transferred, and Carroll was left with just seven returning players. Of those seven, only three had started or seen major minutes. The other four had either redshirted, or not seen much court time. Carroll had just a few days to find transfers in the portal, and had to take his team up to a 15-man roster. When another of the seven left, he was set with the task of finding nine men before summer training. Despite the…

What an ASUN neutral site means for fans and players
The ASUN Conference’s decision to move its men’s and women’s basketball tournaments to a neutral site in Jacksonville marks more than just a location change; it signals a shift in philosophy about what the postseason is supposed to represent. For years, the ASUN tournament has lived on campus floors, in packed student sections, and in the heart of communities that earned the right to host by grinding through the regular season. Now, that reward is gone, replaced with a single destination that, while convenient on paper, strips away much of what made March in the ASUN feel earned. Historically, the conference has seen some of its best crowds when the…

Ognacevic rounds out season with two tournaments, one ring and one Big Ten opportunity
Before the 2024-25 men’s basketball season started, if you’d asked senior forward Jacob Ognacevic what his goals were, he’d tell you three things: win the ASUN, make it to the NCAA Tournament and pursue undeniability. Now, at the end of the season, Ognacevic has done all three and then some. An ASUN Championship victory has been something the Wisconsin native has been aiming for throughout his four year tenure at Lipscomb. With the close of the 2024-25 basketball season, he was finally able to secure that ring. Not only that, but the Bisons made their way to the NCAA Tournament, playing against the Iowa State Cyclones in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Meanwhile,…

Months ago, before the Lipscomb men’s soccer team played in the ASUN conference championship final, senior forward Jelldrik Dallmann of Kuhstedt, Germany, mentioned that his dream was to win a championship ring – and had been since he’d come to the United States. The Bisons went on to do just that – win the final game, take the title of ASUN champions and win their rings. On top of all of that, Dallmann was named the ASUN Player of the Year for the 2022 season. Once the championship rings made their way to Lipscomb’s campus, the team held a ceremony. That tangible reward was new to Dallmann. “They don’t have…
