Northern Iowa took care of Valparaiso 63-51 and Southern Illinois also went on the road to win at Evansville 64-60 in Missouri Valley action, and the Panthers remain a game ahead of the Salukis. Loyola-Chicago had a chance to join Southern Illinois in second, but Indiana State instead joined them in third place at 7-4 as the Sycamores blew them out 68-39 as the Ramblers shot just 33.3 percent from the field on the night and were never really in the game.

WINNERS

NORTHERN IOWA (NET: 40, NBC: 11): The Panthers took care of business at Valpo (152) on Wednesday night. Their strong NET and wins at Colorado (18) and over South Carolina (73) on a neutral keep the Panthers in the conversation, but losses at Southern Illinois (139) and Illinois State (208) are killers. UNI cannot lose another game unless it is against Loyola-Chicago (92) in the MVC tournament if they really want a chance at an at-large.
These five NCAA tournament bubble teams will be dangerous in March Madness--USA Today
Northern Iowa. The Panthers (19-3, 8-2) are currently projected as a No. 11 seed and their résumé suffers largely from playing in a mid-major league where one loss counts as several compared to power conference foes. But credentials aside, coach Ben Jacobson's team has all the ingredients to be a March Madness Cinderella (remember this UNI team?). Guards AJ Green (19.4 ppg) and Trae Berhow form a dynamic backcourt, while Austin Phyfe adds a solid interior presence for one of the best three-point shooting teams in the country (ranking fifth nationally with a 39.9% average beyond the arc).

HIGHLIGHTED GAMES
-NORTHERN IOWA AT VALPARAISO ([sic] Mountain West).  I think Northern Iowa is good enough to win out, and if they do they should be inside the bubble even if they don’t win the conference tournament.
