The Bisons at the Big Dance – a photo gallery

March 22, 2025 /

The No. 13 Lipscomb Bisons took on the No. 4 Iowa State Cyclones on Thursday at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Though the Bisons fell to the Cyclones 55-82, appearing in March Madness is always memorable.

Herd Media Sports Photographer Micah Barkley traveled on a bus with the Lippy Lunatics to cover the game. The Lunatics rented two Gray Line buses, and almost 100 students – Lunatics and Pep Band – made their way to Milwaukee. It was a 25-and-a-half-hour “day” for the students, leaving at 1 a.m. on Friday morning and returning to campus at around 2:30 a.m. Saturday.

These are some of the shots from the Bisons’ second March Madness game in program history.
