History of the Bisons

The Lipscomb Bisons have a long and storied history in NCAA sports. Founded in 1891, the school has competed at the Division I level since 2001. The Bisons are members of the Atlantic Sun Conference (A-Sun), where they have won eight conference championships across multiple sports since joining in 2007.

In basketball, Lipscomb is one of only two schools to win an A-Sun regular season championship and tournament title in back-to-back seasons (2015 & 2016). They also made their first appearance on college basketball's biggest stage when they were invited to play Duke University as part of March Madness 2018. In addition, former player Garrison Mathews was named All A-Sun Player four times during his career with the team from 2015 - 2019 before being drafted by Washington Wizards this year!

Over on the diamond, baseball has been a consistent source of success for years, including winning six consecutive regular season titles between 2011 - 2016 and making it all way to College World Series Regional Finals last year! Unsurprisingly, many players who’ve gone through programs over the past few decades have become professional athletes too – most notably pitcher Casey Weathers who played MLB for Colorado Rockies from 2008 until 2014 after being selected 8th overall pick in the 2006 draft out of high school.

Finally, don't forget about other great programs like golf, tennis, and soccer softball, which consistently compete at the highest levels within their respective conferences! Whether you're looking to cheer your favorite sport or learn more about proud athletic traditions here at Lipscomb University, there are plenty of ways to get involved and show support. So next time you hear someone talking about bison athletics, tell them what ‘go bison' really means!
