NORTHERN IOWA (NET: 35, NBC: 11): The Panthers lost at Loyola (102), which is hardly a bad loss, especially in the MVC, but I’m not sure that it is a loss they can afford. Their strong NET and wins at Colorado (17) and over South Carolina (66) on a neutral keep the Panthers in the conversation, but losses at Southern Illinois (148) and Illinois State (202) are killers. UNI cannot lose another game unless it is against Loyola-Chicago (102) in the MVC tournament if they really want a chance at an at-large, and even then, it will be tough.

- Northern Iowa lost at Loyola-Chicago in overtime; a third NET loss for UNI against early victories over Colorado (road) and South Carolina (neutral). The Panthers can win a game (or two) in the NCAA tourney, but their margin for an at-large bid is shrinking.
-NORTHERN IOWA AT LOYOLA CHICAGO (Missouri Valley). I believe Northern Iowa should be in the NCAA Tournament if they win out, but fail to win the conference tourney. This will be somewhat of a tough road test, but it’s still a game that UNI should be able to win.AJ Green forces OT, but UNI men's basketball falls at Loyola-Chicago--The Gazette
