The spotlight of the University of Dayton Arena shifts to the final night of the First Four tomorrow as the #16 seed Prairie View A&M Panthers battle the #16 seed Lehigh Mountain Hawks. With an automatic bid to the Round of 64 and a Friday date with top-seeded Florida on the line, this matchup features two of the most prolific scoring backcourts in the mid-major ranks.



The Prairie View A&M Panthers (18-17) enter the Big Dance after a historic run through the SWAC Tournament, led by senior guard Dontae Horne, who is averaging a stellar 20.2 points and 2.0 steals per game. The Panthers' aggressive "forty minutes of hell" defense has forced a league-high 16.5 turnovers per contest, providing plenty of transition opportunities for Tai'reon Joseph (18.2 PPG). The Lehigh Mountain Hawks (18-16), meanwhile, secured their spot by upsetting top-seeded Colgate in the Patriot League final. Lehigh is powered by junior sensation Nasir Whitlock, who ranks in the top 10 nationally with 21.0 points per game, and the interior length of Hank Alvey (15.0 PPG, 6.9 RPG). With both teams averaging over 75 points per game in the postseason, fans can expect a fast-paced shootout to close out the Dayton festivities.
