We think the wrong team is favored in this game. While Bitstream Cougars and the Panthers are both averaging 74 points on offense the Panthers defense is 4 points better than the Cougars. We feel this will help the Panthers win this game down the stretch by making it to the foul line. Our best bet UNI +6. Final score prediction the Northern Iowa Panthers win outright and the total stays under 76-71.
