What to Know

The Northern Iowa Panthers and the Murray State Racers are set to square off in a Missouri Valley matchup at 8 p.m. ET Jan. 10 at McLeod Center. The Panthers should still be feeling good after a victory, while MSU will be looking to regain their footing.

Northern Iowa had enough points to win and then some against the Southern Illinois Salukis this past Saturday, taking their game 69-57. Northern Iowa's guard Bowen Born looked sharp as he had 27 points. Born hadn't helped his team much against the Valparaiso Beacons last Wednesday, so this was a nice turnaround for him.

Meanwhile, the matchup between MSU and the Drake Bulldogs this past Saturday was not a total blowout, but with MSU falling 82-64 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. Guard JaCobi Wood (20 points) was the top scorer for the Racers.

The Panthers are the favorite in this one, with an expected 4-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 2-5 against the spread when favored.

Murray State's defeat took them down to 9-7 while Northern Iowa's win pulled them up to 8-8. A win for MSU would reverse both their bad luck and Northern Iowa's good luck. We'll see if MSU manages to pull off that tough task or if Northern Iowa keeps their momentum going instead.
