Near-consensus preseason MVC pick Northern Iowa and Wooden Award watchlister Ben Jacobson battle Iowa State of the Big VIII+IV tonight in the nation's heartland. The Panthers will hope to take a chunk of their 33-7 deficit in the all-time series, and with the stunned Cyclones reeling from a loss to Iona in their own tournament, they have a solid chance to do just that. (Honorable mention to Astyle=font-weight:bold HREF=http://bbstate.com/schools/STJ>Hofstra-St. John's, because that's the kind of kick-'em-when-they're-down thing that never gets old.)
