What to Know

The Northern Iowa Panthers and the Indiana State Sycamores are set to square off in a Missouri Valley matchup at 7 p.m. ET Feb. 23 at Hulman Center. The Panthers will be strutting in after a victory while Indiana State will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Everything went Northern Iowa's way against the Missouri State Bears on Sunday as they made off with a 95-75 win. Five players on Northern Iowa scored in the double digits: guard AJ Green (21), guard Bowen Born (17), forward Noah Carter (17), guard Trae Berhow (15), and guard Nate Heise (14). Bowen Born's performance made up for a slower contest against the Illinois State Redbirds last Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the matchup between Indiana State and the Drake Bulldogs on Monday was not particularly close, with Indiana State falling 74-58. Guard Cooper Neese wasn't much of a difference maker for the Sycamores; Neese played for 37 minutes with 3-for-13 shooting and six turnovers.

The Panthers are the favorite in this one, with an expected 5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 6-12 against the spread when favored.

Indiana State's loss took them down to 11-17 while Northern Iowa's win pulled them up to 16-10. On Sunday Northern Iowa relied heavily on AJ Green, who had 21 points and seven assists. It will be up to Indiana State's defense to limit his damage Wednesday.
