UT Rio Grande Valley held on by a thread Saturday night, squeaking past Prairie View A&M 68-63 thanks to a monster 22-point performance from Jace Posey. The Vaqueros remain undefeated at 2-0, but they had to fight tooth and nail for this one.
Posey Leads the Vaqueros’ Close Call
Posey wasn’t just scoring, he was hustling everywhere, pulling down nine rebounds to go with his 22 points. He was clearly the main man driving the Vaqueros to keep their perfect start alive. But it wasn’t a solo show. B.B. Knight chipped in with 14 points, hitting two from beyond the arc and going 8 of 11 from the free-throw line. Devon Pryor also added 13 points, converting 5 of 6 from the line himself, even if he only managed 4 of 12 from the field. Those free throws clearly made a difference in a game this tight.
Prairie View A&M’s Davis Bynum Goes Off in a Losing Effort
On the other side, Prairie View A&M gave UTRGV everything they could handle. Davis Bynum put on an absolute clinic for the Panthers, dropping a game-high 26 points, grabbing 12 rebounds, and blocking three shots. That is a stat line that usually wins you the game! Anthony Gause backed him up with 14 points, and Micah Bell added nine. Despite their strong individual efforts, the Panthers fell to 2-1 on the season after this gritty five-point loss.
