AJ Green was named MVC men’s basketball preseason player of the year, while UNI was picked third in the preseason poll.

After losses to No. 3 North Dakota State, and No. 15 South Dakota, next is a trip to No. 7 South Dakota State ... and No. 24 UNI doesn’t want to go 0-for-Dakota

An error-ridden first half was too much to overcome for No. 16 UNI, as No. 21 South Dakota upset the Panthers, 34-21.

No. 21 South Dakota visits No. 16 Northern Iowa, and both teams boast impressive defenses.

Michigan State transfer Theo Day is now UNI’s unquestioned starting quarterback. He’s feeling settled in as both a Panther and an Iowan.

Former UNI starting quarterback Will McElvain has entered the transfer portal.

UNI offered North Dakota State a challenge Saturday afternoon at the Fargodome, but a handful of mistakes couldn’t be overcome in a 34-20 loss.

Northern Iowa needs to put the pressure on North Dakota State quarterback Quincy Patterson and make him, not the prolific Bison running game, beat them Saturday.

All-America defensive lineman Jared Brinkman gets a lot of attention, but he has help up front in Tim Butcher, who Mark Farley called “probably the most improved player on our team.”

Strong running games and strong defenses clash when No. 12 Northern Iowa visits No. 5 North Dakota State this week.

UNI should be locked in against Youngstown State following a bye week.

Bradrick Shaw, who’s carried 19 times for 77 yards and a touchdown this season, may have the least glamorous, but most important role among UNI’s quartet of running backs.

Northern Iowa’s bye week coincided with the opening of its new outdoor artificial turf practice facility.

The UNI Panthers are healthy and getting better heading into their bye week.

Panthers roll to 44-3 win in home opener
