What to Know
The Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions are 3-10 against the Prairie View A&M Panthers since January of 2016, but they’ll have a chance to close the gap a little bit on Saturday. Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Prairie View A&M will face off in an SWAC battle at 6:30 p.m. ET at H.O. Clemmons Arena. The Panthers should still be riding high after a win, while Arkansas-Pine Bluff will be looking to right the ship.
Arkansas-Pine Bluff was within striking distance but couldn’t close the gap on Monday as they fell 74-69 to the Alabama A&M Bulldogs.

The Golden Lions are now 6-20 while Prairie View A&M sits at 6-15. Two defensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Arkansas-Pine Bluff has allowed their opponents to shoot 48.80% from the floor on average, which is the 356th highest shooting percentage allowed in college basketball. Prairie View A&M has experienced some struggles of their own as they are fourth worst in college basketball in points allowed per game, with 78.1 on average. It’s possible one of these Achilles’ heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
