BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Prairie View A&M men's basketball was well-represented on the Southwestern Athletic Conference's 2020-21 All-SWAC Men's Basketball teams, announced on Tuesday afternoon.

The all-conference honors were voted on by the league's coaches and sports information directors. 

Among the honorees, junior guards Cam Mack and Jawaun Daniels were named to the All-SWAC First and Second Team, respectively. Head coach Byron Smith was named the league's coach of the year for a third consecutive season.

Mack immediately made waves for the Panthers, establishing himself as one of the nation's top playmakers. The Austin, Texas native was second on the team in scoring at 12.1 points per game and led the conference in assists per game with 8.4, a mark that also tied for first nationally. He also led the SWAC in steals per game (2.9) and ranks third in the country in that category. Mack has posted at least six assists in all but one game he's played in this season.

Daniels, a junior from Harlem, N.Y., has scored in double figures in each of the past nine games. He leads the team in scoring and rebounding at 14.6 points and 6.3 boards per game. Daniels shot 55.3 percent from the field and scored 20+ points four times this season, including a career-high 30 points in the team's regular-season title clinching win over Alcorn State.

Smith led the Prairie View A&M Panthers to their third consecutive regular season title and an undefeated record in league play at 13-0. Prairie View A&M enters the 2021 Cricket Wireless SWAC Men's Basketball Tournament as the number one seed.
