PANTHERS HAVE CHANCE TO SWEEP DELTA SWING FIRST TIME IN LONG TIME
Fresh off its first road win at Arkansas-Pine Bluff since 2005, the PVAMU Panthers venture south to Greenwood, Miss. to face the Delta Devils of Mississippi Valley State at the Leflore County Civic Center. The Panthers are looking to sweep this leg of the SWAC for the first time in more than two decades. 

SWAC TOURNAMENT SEEDING TO BECOME A FACTOR
With 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 eighth place.  A win tonight and an Alabama State loss moves the Panthers to fifth place but if Alabama State wins and the Panthers win, they would move to sixth.

ABOUT THE PANTHERS
Jayrn Johnson leads the Panthers in scoring with 10.7 points and is also the steals leader with 1.6 per game.  He also leads PVAMU in three-point percentage with a 36.3 average. Junior Admassu Williams ranks second on the team in scoring with 10.6 points and leads the team with 6.6 rebounds per game. Williams ranks 19th in the SWAC in scoring, sixth in rebounding, eighth in field goal percentage (48.2%) and 11th in blocked shots with 0.7 per game. Junior guard Tevin Bellinger ranks third with 10.4 points per game and leads the SWAC in free throw percentage with an 86.4 percent clip. 

THE SERIES
Even though Mississippi Valley State leads the series with a 55-21 mark since 1980, the Panthers have regained the upper hand recently with wins in 10 of the past 20 contests against the Delta Devils. Last year's season sweep over MVSU marked only the second time since 2010 that the Panthers recorded a season sweep over the Delta Devils. MVSU won the first game between both teams this season in Prairie View.
