PRAIRIE VIEW A&M 72, UAPB 56

The University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff (3-18, 2-10 Southwestern Athletic Conference) shot 42% from the floor Tuesday, but it wasn’t enough to stop Jawaun Daniels’ game-high 26 points and 14 rebounds for Prairie View A&M (9-4, 8-0) at the William Nicks Building in Prairie View, Texas.

The Panthers scored the first seven points of the game and quickly built a 16-4 lead after a three-pointer from Jeremiah Gambrell. The lead grew to 21-4 after Daniels made a layup off a UAPB turnover.

The Golden Lions chipped into the lead and trailed by nine late in the first half after a Dequan Morris layup, but the Panthers got a layup from Lenell Henry with seven seconds left to give them a 35-24 halftime lead. Prairie View A&M maintained a double-digit lead for much of the second half.

The Panthers outrebounded the Golden Lions 33-26 and held a 44-30 scoring advantage in the lane. UAPB also committed 19 turnovers, but outscored Prairie View A&M 10-9 in second-chance points and 19-7 in points off the bench.

Nicholas Jones led UAPB with 11 points and Markedric Bell chipped in with 10.

SWAC WOMEN

PRAIRIE VIEW A&M 79, UAPB 71, OT

Trasity Totten scored 23 points to lead the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluff (216, 1-11 Southwestern Athletic Conference) on Tuesday, including a layup as time expired to force overtime, but the Golden Lions were outscored 13-5 in overtime to fall to Prairie View A&M (38, 2-7) at the William Nicks Building in Prairie View, Texas.

UAPB led 34-25 at halftime, but was outscored 41-32 in the second half. Prairie View A&M led 64-56 with 1:09 left in regulation, but Khadijah Brown made a layup and a three-pointer that cut the lead to 66-64 with 13 seconds left.

Tamiracle Taylor missed two free throws with 12 seconds left that would have extended the Panthers’ lead, and Shicoriya Orr missed a three-pointer that would have given UAPB the lead, but the ball went out of bounds and was awarded to Prairie View A&M. Orr stole the ball off the inbounds pass and got the ball to Totten for the game-tying layup.

The Panthers started overtime with a 7-0 run and had a 73-66 lead with 1:20 remaining. Totten’s three-point play with 42 second left cut the lead to 73-69, but the game was decided at the free-throw line as Prairie View hit 6 of 8 down the stretch.

The Golden Lions shot 42% (26 of 62) from the floor and got 22 points off the bench, but committed 23 turnovers that led to 18 Panthers points.

Maya Peat had 15 points for UAPB and Brown chipped in with 13. Kennedy Paul had a game-high 26 points to lead Prairie View A&M, Diana Rosenthal poured in 25 — including 5-of-8 shooting from the three-point line — and Taylor added 16.
