Derek Johnson, 6-1/190 junior guard, Euless, Texas (Blackhawk JC).Prairie View's men's basketball team will face one of its most daunting schedules, which includes a season-opening trip to fabled Pauley Pavilion to take on national power UCLA.
The Panthers will make the visit to Los Angeles on Nov. 12, taking on a Bruins team that has reached the Final Four in each of the last three seasons under coach Ben Howland. UCLA finished 35-3 last year and despite the loss of NBA first-round picks Kevin Love (Minnesota) and Russell Westbrook (Oklahoma City), the Bruins are expected to be contenders for the national title.
Prairie View will also make trips to Missouri (Nov. 15) and Hawaii (Dec. 1), along with visits to Baylor (Dec. 13), New Mexico State (Dec. 17) and Colorado (Dec. 19) before opening Southwestern Athletic Conference play at Alcorn State on Jan. 3.
