The Prairie View A&M Panthers and the Texas Southern Tigers meet in college basketball action from the H&PE Arena on Saturday night.
The Prairie View A&M Panthers will look to rebound from back-to-back losses after a 59-53 loss to Jackson State last time out. Jawaun Daniels leads the Panthers in scoring and rebounding with 15.2 PPG and 6.3 RPG while D’Rell Roberts has 11.2 PPG. William Douglas also has 10.2 PPG and Jeremiah Gambrell has 11.3 PPG with a team-high 2.7 APG for the Panthers on the year. As a team, Prairie View A&M is averaging 64.3 PPG on 43.4% shooting from the field, 34.3% from three and 69.7% from the foul line while allowing 71.1 PPG on 45.5% shooting from the field and 36.3% from three this season.
The Texas Southern Tigers will try to bounce back from a 75-72 loss to Alcorn State last time out. Joirdon Karl Nicholas leads the Tigers in scoring with 9.5 PPG along with 5.8 RPG while John Walker III has 9.5 PPG with 4.3 RPG. Brison Gresham leads the Tigers on the glass with 6.9 RPG as well this season. As a team, Texas Southern is averaging 68.7 PPG on 43.6% shooting from the field, 30.8% from three and 66.7% from the foul line while allowing 66.2 PPG on 40.4% shooting from the field and 29.9% from three this season.
Prairie View A&M is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the over is 7-1 in their last 8 games as a road underdog. Texas Southern is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall while the under is 5-0 in their last 5 games following a loss.
I get why you’d look at Texas Southern here as the Tigers have been the better team over the course of the season. However, Prairie View A&M is no slouch as they’ve been playing fairly well lately in their own right and a lot of the cover issues stem from laying too many points as the Panthers have found themselves in a lot of close games. Either way, I think the points hold value here. Give me Prairie View A&M and the points in this one.
