CEDAR FALLS, Ia. — When one league foe bullies another inside the often-cramped Missouri Valley Conference, the rematch usually flows a different direction. Film is dissected; adjustments are made; and tighter action tends to unfold over 40 minutes.

Northern Iowa clearly missed that message.

And because of it, the Panthers are prowling atop the league standings with first-place separation.

Less than three weeks after drubbing Missouri State in its own building, UNI hardly returned the hospitality Wednesday on the Bears’ trek to Cedar Falls.
