Jackson State and Prairie View A&M are set to battle in this SWAC Tournament quarterfinal on Wednesday evening at Bartow Arena. JSU comes into the tournament with a perfect record against SWAC opponents , but it learned last year that doesn’t guarantee a tournament title as it fell to eventual champion Southern last year in the semifinals.
The Lady Panthers suffered a defeat at the hands of the Lady Tigers in their last head-to-head encounter at William Nicks Building in March 2024, with a final score of 75-65.
