JSU Tigers, PVAMU Panthers meet in possible SWAC matchup

PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas  -- Jackson State travels to Prairie View on Saturday in what could be a preview of the SWAC championship game.

The Panthers are expected to win the Western Division title, while Jackson State (6-2, 6-0) controls its destiny in the East race. Neither team was the preseason pick to win their respective divisions. Alabama State and Arkansas Pine-Bluff were the preseason picks to win the West and East.

Jackson State is off to its best start since 1995 during the final years of the late James "Big Daddy" Carson's reign as coach. Alcorn State at Southern University, 6 p.m.: The Braves (6-2, 4-1 SWAC) need a victory to remain in contention for the East Division title. Alcorn is also aiming for its best season since the Steve McNair days of the mid-1990s.
