Northern Iowa coach Ben Jacobson expects the Panthers to be a 12-seed in the NCAA Tournament. UNI punched its ticket by winning the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament. It is their first trip to the tournament in 10 years.

Jacobson says they are not spending any time trying to figure out who a first round opponent might be.

Jacobson says he loves having the week off leading up to Selection Sunday.

Jacobson says having an auto bid takes on the pressure off of this week.

UNI won the Valley Tournament as a six seed but Jacobson is not surprised the Panthers have mad it this far.
