What's Up In The Missouri Valley 11/28/2021

News, Notes, and Highlighted Games: Sunday, Nov 28--Hoops HD

NEWS AND NOTES:

-Northern Iowa finally looked like the team we were expecting to see yesterday as they went on the road at Saint Bonaventure and picked up the 90-80 win.  UNI has a lot of ground to make up, and while they’re not out of strikes yet, they’re close, but this is the kind of win that can breathe new life into a season.  Saint Bonaventure was in the rankings (and will likely finish there), and they were at home (where they may not lose again all season), so this is a super high caliber win for Northern Iowa.

HIGHLIGHTED GAMES:

-NORTHERN IOWA AT SAINT BONAVENTURE.  Northern Iowa was a team we had high expectations for coming into the season, and while there is still a lot of season left they have not lived up to them at this point.  At just 1-3, and with several missed opportunities at notable wins, they’d basically have to blow through most of the rest of their schedule to land inside the bubble.  The Bonnies, on the other hand, are still unbeaten and are climbing the rankings.
