For the fourth straight game, the Panthers came out smoking as Louis Munks scored seven points to fuel a 14-5 lead at the 13:41 mark.  The Panthers were rolling along as Hershey Robinson and John Brisco nailed a trey along with a Montrael Scott layup for a 24-11 lead six minutes later.  TSU went on a 9-3 surge to close within 27-20 at the 4:18 mark but Munks converted a three-point play followed by a Brisco jumper for the 32-20 lead.  The Panthers led by double digits once again with 1:19 left on Scott's jumper but TSU attacked the glass and relied on Aaric Murray's three-point play with 1:06 left to end the half down 38-31.

The Panthers settled for one too many jump shots to open the half and TSU attacked the inside as they opened the half with a 9-0 run to knot the game at 40-all.  TSU's lead grew to 44-40 at the 15:25 mark but a trey by Scott moved the lead back to PVAMU at 45-44.  Murray's jumper on the ensuing possession gave TSU the lead once again and the Panthers were forced to play catch-up the rest of the way as their deficit grew to as much as 11 with 5:03 left.

Prairie View A&M chipped away at the lead via the free throw line and closed to within five points on four occasions over the next four minutes.  The game's turning point occurred with 1:31 left as Brisco hit a layup and the Panthers came up with a much-needed defensive stop after Ray Penn's missed three-pointer.  The Panthers couldn't respond as they missed three straight shots with two of them blocked by Murray.  PVAMU drew to within five with 20 seconds remaining but TSU was too solid from the charity stripe as they hit its next four attempts to seal the win.

Scott led PVAMU with 19 points and six rebounds followed by 16 from Munks and 11 from Brisco.
