I perceive Northern Iowa to be overvalued as many want to put them in the "next' Gonzaga mold. While they went 30-3 last year and won their first round game as a #5 seed they then knocked off #1 North Carolina AND #5 Iowa St in December. The reality is the same 5 players gave started every game and without a go-to scorer (leader is avg 14.2 ppg) the offense has underperformed. The Panthers were on a 1-6 SU/ATS run before winning their last 2 games. Evansville comes in off a loss making them 0-2 this year versus the conference only undefeated team (Wichita St) but have gone 11-1 SU in their other previous games. The Panthers were picked #3 in the preseason poll so the pressure is mounting and shooting numbers agree with the host is averaging 43.4% on offense and 43.0% on defense and the Salukis avg 46.9% FG's in conference action while allowing 39.1%. I like Evansville here on Wednesday night.
