an assist to turnover ratio. Southern with a rather suffocating defense is going to try to styy that effective offense. Prairie View&M >> look for Prairie View to try to tackle off the dribble. They believe in their spacing [cheering] >> and a nifty shot right off the bat points per game. >> Hor’s a really special play.
He’s got great one-on-one skills. He can also pass the ball, but he’s great off the dribble. >> A paint touch and hook shot on the season. Well, Southern is a very good team defense. They clog the middle.
They like to go high low. They utilize their bigs. Wait for the big dance for a while. More on that in a moment. The Panthers trying to get something going again.
Late clock situation and a driving two hand slam by number 13. They’re loaded with weapons including one of the best scorers. That’s number two in Blackhorn who just gave it off. Shot clock down to three. Inside the pivot, the fade and a block.
You know, one of these things in this league, coaches understand earlier in the season, you got to go on the game on the road is a little misleading because you are wind up playing some money games and traveling and can’t play the style that you ultimately >> dish up top into the hands of Duball. Missed it rebound and hacked in the act is AJ Barnes who’s been >> he can flex like they just did. It’ll be a problem. [cheering] >> 73% on the year is Barnes. So we talked&m three guys over the century mark.
Cory Dunning not far behind with 93. So they don’t they’re altered or blocked. Here comes Southern in transition. Dub ball lays it up. Left it short and a rebound and then a kick basketball.
It will be Panther back >> tells when the weather was bad. >> That’s no fun. >> Nice job breaking the pressure that time. Great ball movement. Sets up the open three.
Got it from the corner. His physical size allows him to get into the paint area and sets up his teammates. >> Horn in transition gets hammered and two free throws upcoming. Got to get something going. 0 for seven right now from the field.
Still down seven. Strong take off the window and in. And there’s the first field going driving layup by Michael. He was from that game too. >> He wasn’t too bad.
>> He was okay. >> He was known for football and baseball. I bet he could play some hoops, too. There’s a nice break. a steel >> and a lot of that comes with the fact that they change their defenses and give different looks.
>> Deep three left wing and nothing but the bottom of the net going for a post. He wants his man get down there. Finally, Wells does. Wells bellied up. Wells forces it and somehow Buru has led throughout and now another turnover.
Here come the Panthers in transition. Joseph gets it to go. half to play and playing on the road and trying to get your chemistry and everything down and it’s tough. >> Tough shot and an and one for Michael Jacobs and Yukes to go. A rise and fire three.
Air ball. Offensive rebound Dunning. That’s why he’s out there. Final ticks away. He got IT OFF IN TIME AND SPLASHES IT home off the mark.
Tapped around and right into the hands of Lance Williams. >> Those are the shots though Southern’s going to have to make those mid-range shots. >> Williams the to attack too quickly. >> Heat check by Horn. Back iron and now Southern on the attack.
Leading the way and getting it is Brandon. Creeping inside carving out space but misfiring is Jones. Jones got caught too deep under the rim and then slam save streak. >> Go inside out. You got to change directions with the ball >> again.
inside and this time slithering in. It’s really the only place they’ve been able to get any buckets going. Not a single three so far hit by the Jags. Acrobatic take of this magnitude. Win and get into the NCAA tournament.
Five on the timer. Deep three on the way and buried by who else? Dante Horn. Amber into the game for the Jags. Number three in white on the handle.
paint touch throws it up. That’s just a under four here in the first half. Panthers have led throughout trying to tack on to the lead here with a Wells rise and fire splashes it home and the pace of the game is are you recognizing what’s going on on the floor at a speed where you can fix and effect it and right >> turn in transition. Here comes Jags. Full throttle and offbalance falling to the J as Michael Jacobs somehow gets it to go.
>> You called it. >> I don’t know if that’s the play I designed [laughter] for him. The fall down layup, but he hits it anyway. And then a quick great response on the other end. That is Lance.
Lance Williams hailing from the same city that the campus of Southern resides. Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Williams sets up the mid-range jumper from the Forget Fang Mitchell and Coppen State in 97 knocking off number two seed South Carolina. Great drive and take that time by Michael Jacobs >> the half court for much of this first half. Jacobs kick out pass sets up Barnes on a three and Barnes rattles it home and it’s a if you’re Southern shot block is off.
Born >> setting it up and HE BURIES LATE CROP TRIPLE and that’s >> they’ve been following him but what a career he’s had and what a great job he’s done this year >> trying to cap it off with what would be his second trip to the NCAA tournament >> and I think that this team has done a great job getting guys open looks there’s Williams with an open look and he knocks it down >> knocks it down as raining threes right >> and that hasn’t worked all day >> has to be more of this guy’s Jacobs finding Barnes. Jump hook shot is good. Lift shot >> is tough to recruit against any place in the state of Louisiana. >> They grow up purple and goal now. >> That’s a great quick hands on display by Jacobs.
Leads the team. Pounded by Hardy. Horn going to have to force it. Just throws IT UP AND BANKS IT HOME. A HORSE shot by Horn.
Dante Horn continues to have a tournament to remember. Under 10 to shoot and a block foul will go again. Shot clock under five >> again. Degree of difficulty, but that time the shot does not drop. However, a foul called on Southern.
>> I would look to drop to throw the ball into the low post, make them double team, try to pick up some fouls. >> I’m telling you what, Cory Wells, they are offensively the number one offense in the conference. Maybe we ought to start praising their defense more. But the offense continues to fill it up from outside. >> It’s amazing how good offense and good defense kind of goes together and gets you some victories.
>> Jacobs responding on the other end. You just get the feel. >> He’s going to have a pretty good time on spring break in that room. Now, >> no doubt a lot of bragging rights for him as AJ Barnes goes mid-range. Slow down this Panther offense which is shooting 53 from the field and 60 from behind the arc.
Oh, look at this. >> My goodness. >> Talk about pace. You you you hear coaches talk about pace, pace, pace. Right now, uh Prairie View is playing at a great pace.
>> And then a four this all night, >> you know, but you work so hard and you’re one game away from what you worked since August. >> Rebound Jags inside. No. How about a third try? Yes.
And a foul. AJ Barnes, relentless down low. >> Uh, you know, I went and interviewed with them, Mike, and we never ate the whole day, >> right? >> You know, and Rick said, >> and the number one seeds this year, I call them super teams, coach. That’s a big three hit by Jacobs.
Make things on Joseph. That’s one of those if you’re a coach. No, no, no. I mean, yes. Well, you know, Mike, you talked about it early how he wasn’t real happy with that.
>> No. >> Jacobs for three. >> Right online, but a little too strong. That’s >> exactly the great save that time by the Jags. The man who saved it gets it backwards and thunder.
>> I think the right matchup, Kelvin Samson, Houston would be there. Um, >> big time three by Cambbury and an isolation situation. >> Are you surprised? No timeout call. >> Well, they’ll certainly benefit from it as Elijah Mitchell gets the three and a half to play.
Hour trying to take over. Dante Horn spinning, leaving it off at a beautiful nine. Drop. The lead is back to eight. AMBRY HEAT CHECK THREE.
GOT TICKLES THE TWINE FROM WAY DOWN. COMES OUT. >> YOU saw Kevin Johnson, Southern head coach. He pulled off some big wins last year against Mississippi State. Oh, what a beautiful backing in up and under.
Poked away and a steal. And here comes Ambry attack mode and he lost it. Knocked out of bounds by Prairie View >> against them. I think they need to have him receive the ball and then attack. >> Horn missed it.
BALL IS GOOD. KNIFING IN AS the >> Nobody’s given it to Jacobs. Off balance. Gets it back and lost it. Then out of bounds.
Back to Ambry. Ambry. You got to find Jacobs, don’t you? Ambry all the way high OFF THE WINDOW AND IN. BEAUTIFUL TAKE by Ambry.
Thus far, just 11 points. One of two from the line and he missed it. Plenty of time. Too strong. Rebound and then a steel DOWN LOW.
PUMP FAKE. SHOT IT IN. IT IN FOR DIXON. IT’S A ONEPOSSESSION GAME. 25 FOR PRESSURE.
HORN’S GOT IT. NUMBERS. HERE COME THE PANTHERS. BACK TO HORN. GOT IT.
