PANTHERS PREPARE TO PLAY IN UNFRIENDLY CONFINES SATURDAY NIGHTÂ Prairie View A&M hits the road looking to regain momentum as they travel to Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Saturday night. Â The Panthers saw their season-best two-game winning streak end Monday night and will have to start a new streak on the road in a venue they have not won in since 2005.
SWAC TOURNAMENT SEEDING TO BECOME A FACTORWith the second half of SWAC play three weeks in, seeding for next month's SWAC Tournament starts to become a factor as the Panthers are currently in ninth place but are only two games from fifth due to a logjam in the SWAC standings.
