So who is Northern Iowa.. and how did they get here….

They beat Kansas.. They beat the #1 team Kansas… Even though Kansas had a high shot percentage and more rebounds, NIU beat them on turnovers…  They are a dangerous team.. The ailing Spartans need to be prepared…

 Before Kansas they beat UNLV.. the win against the Running Rebs was the first NCAA tourney win in 20 years for the Northern Iowa panthers.. The Panthers from Cedar falls Iowa, swept the Missouri Valley Conference’s regular-season and postseason titles for the second straight year. So I think they have something to prove… How far they will go is up for debate...

Take a look at how they match up on paper thanks to StatSheet .com
