Prairie View A&M’s remarkable rise from a five-win season a year ago continued Wednesday night with a landmark result on the national stage.
The Panthers earned the first NCAA tournament victory in program history, defeating Lehigh 67-55 in the First Four.
A milestone in a dramatic turnaround
Prairie View A&M entered the night with momentum built on a season-long transformation, and it carried that progress into the postseason with a composed performance against Lehigh. The win not only advanced the Panthers out of the First Four, but also marked a defining moment for a program that had struggled just one year earlier.
After winning only five games last season, Prairie View A&M has made its turnaround tangible with an NCAA tournament result, adding a historic first to its resurgence.
