BOX SCORE PULLMAN, Wash. – Cam Mack posted a double-double in his season debut, but it wasn't enough as a short-handed Prairie View A&M men's basketball team (1-3) dropped a 90-62 contest Monday evening at Beasley Coliseum.
 
How it Happened:
Despite a quick start from Damari Parris, the Panthers found themselves behind thanks to the Cougars' early hot shooting from beyond the arc. Following a three-point play from Jawaun Daniels that brought Prairie View A&M within four with 12:13 left in the first half, Washington State used the long ball to power a 17-6 run that left the Panthers trailing 34-19 with 6:55 remaining before intermission.

With 3:55 left in the half and the Panthers trailing by 16, Parris sparked an 8-2 run to draw Prairie View A&M within 10. However, Washington State scored seven unanswered points to take a 47-30 advantage into half. The Panthers were unable to get within striking distance through the remainder of the game.
 
Top Performances:
Parris led the Panthers with 15 points, eight boards and a pair of steals. Mack scored 14 points and dished out 10 assists along with three steals and a block. Daniels scored 11 points. Jerroda Briscoe chipped in eight points and swatted three shots.

Efe Abogidi scored 16 to lead the Cougars, who had five players in double figures.
