N. IOWA AT SIU
LOYOLA-CHICAGO AT WICHITA ST.
I mention both of these games together because there is a tie in. This is a big look ahead spot for both UNI and WSU. They have their first big showdown for first place in their next game's, Saturday. While SIU only has 2 win's to show for this conference season they were in their last two game's both at home and they haven't lost a home game by more than 3 points (in conference play). Loyola was brought back down to earth in their first meeting with the Shockers in a 14 point home loss. Since that time they haven't been the same team. This is their chance to try and get their mojo back with a solid road game against that same Shocker team. I think these Shocker's could cover this line if they really wanted to but I look for the back door cover as they can't help but start to look ahead and think about their next game with UNI once they get a comfortable lead.
