GOOD AT BASKETBALL.

Coverage limitations are identified below.

Coverage window: November 2–8, 2026. Evidence cutoff: November 8 at 9:49 p.m. CST. This is a source-supported subset, not a complete conference recap. Additional games, player performances and the Sunday slate remain unverified. No team without a listed result is being described as idle.

League summary

Nelson had to earn both reviewed weekend wins, beating Our Lady of the Lake 98–92 before an 85–78 overtime victory over Texas A&M Texarkana. Southwestern Christian held off Mission 90–87. Science and Arts beat Hesston 99–83 and Sterling 81–74, while Wayland Baptist defeated Northern New Mexico 100–60. The confirmed scores give the SAC several strong results, but the remaining schedules still need reconciliation.

NHR editorial Game of the Week

Provisional pick from this verified subset: 2026-11-05: Mission (Mo.) 87, Southwestern Christian 90. Selected for the closest final margin among reviewed games, not as a claim that every conference game was compared. Revisit after the missing results are reconciled.

Season-to-date statistical leaders

Complete conference-wide top-five per-game lists for points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks are not verified. Player identities, games played, qualification rules, ties and values require official current-season evidence for every member. No estimated or partial list is labeled a league leaderboard.

Look ahead: November 9–15

The full following-week schedule, including every conference matchup, host, Central tip and available watch link, remains unverified. Do not reuse last week’s November 2–8 schedule as the next-week preview.
