The Panthers are 3-1 in the Valley while the Crusaders are 2-2 after rallying for a home win over Drake. UNI coach Ben Jacobson says Valparaiso is more guard dominated this year.
• A tough stretch begins for the Iowa State men’s basketball team. Four of the Cyclones next five opponents are nationally ranked beginning with Wednesday night’s game at second ranked Baylor. ISU coach Steve Prohm says ball movement is the key against Baylor’s defense. Under coach Scoitt Drew the Bears are 13-1.

The Cyclones have lost six straight game in Waco but several have been close.
