Great game tomorrow night if your cable provider is carrying it!
Northern Iowa Panthers @ Missouri State Bears -7
You are forgiven if you don’t know much about the Missouri State Bears. Most casual fans don’t. Don’t let that lull you into ignoring one of the nation’s best mid-majors in 2011.
The Bears enter at 17-4, 9-1 in the competitive Missouri Valley. They got away with looking ahead in their last contest, escaping with a 73-70 win over Drake. Don’t expect their focus to be anywhere other than on the Northern Iowa Panthers tomorrow night.
Northern Iowa captured the nation’s fancy with their improbable upset of #1 Kansas en route to the Sweet 16. This team, however, is not that team; Ali Farokhamensh has gradated, and the Panthers have been good, but certainly not great this season without him. They enter the game at 16-6 (7-3), but without some of the big wins they captured along the way last season.
