Winners of five of their last six games the UNI Panthers host Valparaiso Wednesday night in Missouri Valley Conference action. The Panthers are third in the Valley race with a 7-3 mark. After starting 0-7 Valpo has won three straight.

That’s Panther coach Ben Jacobson. UNI won the first meeting 69-67 on the road but Jacobson says the Beacons are a much different team right now.

Jacobson says the Panthers will need to eliminate some mistakes on the defensive end against a much more confident team.
