Prairie View vs Alabama A&M Prediction
I’m going to take a stab on Prairie View. The Panthers are hot right now, and coming off a nice win over B-CU. In that one Prairie View shot 49.1 percent from the field and 57.1 percent (8-of-14) from 3-point range while bagging 14 points off 12 Wildcats turnovers. It wasn’t perfect though, as Prairie View missed nine of 20 free throws (55 percent) and got outscored in the paint 46-32. Still, the Panthers have won seven of the last eight games, scoring 70 or more points in six of those.
These teams last saw each other back on January 27 in an 80-60 home loss for the Panthers. In that one Prairie View shot an ugly 36.4 percent from the field and 18.8 percent (3-of-16) from outside. The Panthers gave up 53.4 percent shooting on defense while getting outscored in the paint 48-34. Prairie View is playing well these days however, and this is a perfect chance to show their stuff.
