That's true ... and the Panthers have thrown in a couple of "how did that go in?" prayer shots

Prairie View shooting well and looks like a team that will keep the pressure on for 40 minutes. Our height advantage is showing with a 2 for 1 rebounding advantage

Gibson and Pettway lead all scorers with 10 points each

The other 8 Panthers who have played have 16 points ... combined

Nine 1st half turnovers by SMU and 6 of those on steals by Prairie View. Need to match their intensity which we haven't consistently done in this 1st half
