HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (Interstat) — A surging Alabama A&M looks to solidify its position in the SWAC standings when it hosts an Arkansas-Pine Bluff team seeking a bounce-back performance on Monday, Feb. 16, 2026, at T.M. Elmore Gymnasium. The Bulldogs (14-11, 8-4 SWAC) enter on a two-game win streak after a 72-65 victory over Mississippi Valley State on Saturday. Guard Kintavious Dozier has been a consistent force, averaging 15.6 points over his last seven contests, including an 18-point, 7-rebound effort in the latest win. The Golden Lions (11-14, 7-5) saw a four-game conference winning streak snapped in a 79-61 road loss at Alabama State on Saturday. They will lean on dynamic guard Quion Williams, who has been on a remarkable tear. Over his last seven games, Williams is averaging 21.7 points, 5.9 assists and 4.6 rebounds, including a 23-point, 9-rebound performance in the loss to the Hornets. This matchup is a quick turnaround from their meeting earlier this season, when Arkansas-Pine Bluff secured a 95-83 home win over Alabama A&M on Jan. 3. The Bulldogs will aim to defend their home court and split the season series. Alabama A&M has found success at Elmore Gymnasium, going 9-3 at home this season. Arkansas-Pine Bluff has struggled on the road with a 4-9 mark away from home, but its recent conference run, which included three road wins, shows its capability. The game features a contrast in momentum. Alabama A&M has won four of its last five, while the Golden Lions aim to recapture the form that propelled their recent streak. Containing Williams will be a primary focus for the Bulldogs’ defense, while Arkansas-Pine Bluff must counter Dozier and a balanced Alabama A&M attack that saw three players score in double figures in its last outing. Monday’s contest is pivotal for SWAC tournament seeding as the regular season enters its final stretch. Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m. CST.
