UNI coach Ben Jacobson hopes Saturdays come from behind victory at Illinois State provides momentum for his team. The Panthers posted an 85-84 buzzer beating victory over the Redbirds and take a 4-2 Missouri Valley Conference record into Tuesday night’s game at home against Evansville.

The Panthers begin the week part of a four way tie for second in the Valley race and nine teams are sitting at .500 or better.

Jacobson says success in the Valley requires consistent effort.

Evansville is 3-3 in the Valley after a 63-40 loss at Drake.
