SWAC Tournament: Prairie View upsets top-seeded Southern

HOUSTON, Texas  -- On a neutral court, anything can happen in the Southwestern Athletic Conference. Two days into the SWAC tournament, Prairie View A&M pulled off a shocker.

Showing the utmost confidence, the Panthers took it to top-seeded Southern in the last of four games on Wednesday at Toyota Center. Prairie View's 64-46 win places the Panthers in Friday's semifinals.

"That was some of the best defense that I've seen since I've been at Prairie View," said eighth-year Panthers coach Byron Rimm II.

The eighth-seeded Panthers are getting hot at the right time. The Panthers, who led by as many as 21 points at 39-18 with 13:25 remaining in the game, played loose and never trailed. Prairie View was up 25-16 at halftime.
