Northern Iowa fell victim to a late 7-0 run and lost at Missouri Valley leader Belmont 91-86 as the Panthers had their three game win streak snapped. Belmont shot a sizzling 64 percent in the second half.

That’s UNI coach Ben Jacobson, who says the Bruins are a difficult team to guard.

The Panthers are 8-7 in the Valley and 16-10 overall heading into Sunday’s game at home against Drake.
