Sophomore guard Trae Berhow made five of UNI’s season-high 16 3-pointers. In the process, the Panthers shot Illinois State down to fourth place in the Missouri Valley Conference with a 77-64 victory Wednesday night before a McLeod Center crowd of 3,364.
ISU, which shared the Valley lead just eight days ago, dropped its third straight and fell to 14-12 overall and 7-6 in the league.
Berhow, who transferred from Pepperdine, was 5 of 8 from 3-point range and scored a season-high 20 points while Spencer Haldeman came off the bench to add 16 points for UNI (11-15, 6-7).
