Da Coach, I assume you meant Cedar Falls and not Cedar Rapids.

Da Coach, I assume you meant Cedar Falls and not Cedar Rapids.

Yep. Too early in the morning for me. Both are lovely cities along the Cedar River (), but UNI is in Cedar Falls.

Why was Born out last game @ Drake? He is a tough guy to stop and has done well vs BU in his career.

UNI has underachieved a little this season and they are a Top 5 Valley team for sure.

Can't sleep on these guys, but we should win by 10-15.

[LittleBrave]

Can't afford to lose ANY more home games...lose 2 at most on the road and we could still take this!

[LittleBrave]

All that UNI released prior to game time Saturday night at Drake was that he was "out due to an illness".

Thx DC!

Just a couple hours ago, UNI coach Ben Jacobson said "junior G Bowen Born was able to be in the gym this morning and is expected to be available on Wednesday when the Panthers face Bradley.- https://twitter.com/ethan_petrik/sta...09900790521966

Must win, start a new streak. We are better then UNI and need to prove that on the court Wed. night.

From what I have heard born may not play tonight

From what I have heard born may not play tonight

Head Coach Ben Jacobson says he "will be available for today's game against Bradley" according to Jon Rothstein- https://twitter.com/JonRothstein/sta...89562135024076
However, coaches sometimes like to throw the opposing coaches off, but I think we'll see Born in uniform.

Here is another tweet saying Born will play tonight- https://twitter.com/Jmadden1632/stat...93521054683495

And there are some betting websites that say he is "questionable" for tonight- https://twitter.com/freeplays/status...09963137388554


Bradley is listed as a 7.5 point favorite tonight- https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...n-iowa-bradley

Bradley's had recent success against UNI- BU won all 3 games last year, and no doubt they still remember the 18-point comeback, 57-54 win over UNI in the championship game of the 2020 MVC Tournament.
So not surprising, one UNI fan says this about Bradley-
"They've become the program I like the least in the league"- https://www.panthernation.com/forum/...048#post733048

I'd take that as a compliment.

[bradleyfan124]

Coaches like to do that. I think Wardle did that with Connor this year..His first game back Wardle said he was questionable then he ended up starting

[tomahawk chop]

Whether Born plays or not we are a better team period. Jump on them early and give Thomas and Burch more minutes tonight. We need to hold them on defense to 65 points or less.

[Tommy]

Jacobsen teams are always tough and well coached. I'm always nervous when we play UNI.

Me too Tommy. We need to outscrap and outsmart them.
