The Northern Iowa women will be looking to bounce back from a stunning home loss to Evansville when they visit Illinois State on Thursday night. The Panthers are 6-3 in the Missouri Valley and beat the Redbirds 68-54 in Cedar Falls back in early December.

That’s UNI coach Tanya Warren, who feels it will be a big test for her team.
