Las Vegas - Northern Iowa vs. Drake is the first game up today on the Missouri Valley Conference slate, and we're on the Panthers from Cedar Falls. Northern doesn't get much love, much ink, or much chatter from the talking heads, but these kids can play. Don't believe me, just ask Ken Pomeroy, or KenPom as he is known around the country. His ratings are a great measuring stick, and he has Northern Iowa at #38 in the country, with a 15.30 rating. Obviously, you wanna know where Drake is. Well, the Bulldogs from Des Moines are down, WAY DOWN at #181, with a rating of 0.72. Don't always go by the ratings, but with Northern 15 points better, and the spread only 8, ya gotta pop the Panthers!!!
