It seems the two media darlings of mid-major basketball are going to meet in the UNI-Dome! Personally, I think UNI will win due to our homecourt advantage, but Bucknell is a strong team that will give us one heck of a game!

Tough matchup for NAU - they have to play at Sacramento State on Friday, then fly across the country to Nashville, drive to Bowling Green.

The non-televised games are announced tommorrow...

Just the TV games were announced. Looking forward to NW St vs Utah St, UNI vs Bucknell and La Tech at Southern Illinois...

Remember, the teams that hit the road this month for BB games host their BB foes in Nov/Dec...

Don't know anything about UNI other than what I've read here, so they're obviously pretty good. Bucknell's success feeds off its defense. They have held opponents shooting to less than 40%. A very veteran club with all five starters back from last year. They don't fluster. Is the game available on the Yahoo pack??

I am pretty sure the game will be on ESPN or ESPN2 if you have it. This is the marquee match-up for the bracket buster.

Agree with FargoBison. No. Iowa is ranked 23 in the ESPN poll, while Bucknell has their own segment of 'the Season' on ESPN2 Tuesdays. This has to be an 8pm ESPN game.

Northern Iowa upset Iowa (?) the same week that No. Iowa was getting ready to play App. St. I remember the No. Iowa fans saying it was the best week of their sporting lives.
