SEASON IN REVIEW
 
Howard enters tourney play with a 12-3 (10-1 SWAC) mark and a share of the SWAC Regular Season Championship. Despite sharing the title, HU comes in as the top seed in the tournament, thanks to a head-to-head victory over the Panthers, 3-0, back in October.
 
In league play, Howard outscored the opposition, 25-4, with eight shutouts, including seven consecutive to start SWAC competition. HU's lone loss in conference play came on the road at Alabama A&M, 1-2.
