SEARCY, Ark.-The Christian Brothers University Bucs shot a season-low 12.5 percent from three-point range Tuesday night in a 79-57 loss at Harding.

HOW IT HAPPENED:
• The Bisons (3-1)jumped to an early lead when a Stefan Andelkovic layup capped a 15-3 burst that gave them a 17-9 lead with 10:54 remaining in the first half.
• CBU (2-2) steadily cut into the Harding lead, closing within 27-25 on back-to-back Jeff Larkin (Cincinnati, Ohio/La Salle HS) layups with 3:17 remaining in the first half.
• Harding out-scored the Bucs 12-0 over the final three minutes of the first half, opening a 39-25 lead at halftime on a Filip Medjo three-point play.
