Prairie View tied for first
-- The wild ride continues at Prairie View A&M, where the men's basketball team is 5-0 in the Southwestern Athletic Conference, tied for first with Alabama State. And once again it was Greg Burks, all 5-8 of him, doing the damage late in Monday's 65-62 home win over Jackson State.
Burks hit the go-ahead shot with 28 seconds remaining. It was the third consecutive game Burks made the game-winning basket.
Burks, a first-team All-SWAC selection last season, hit a shot from the top of the key with 1.4 seconds left gave the Panthers a 59-57 win over Texas Southern on Jan. 11.
"He's a winner," said TSU coach Ronnie Courtney. "A great player. I think he should have gotten more accolades than he did last year. I voted for him for every honor there was."
