The Register chatted a bit with Northern Iowa basketball head coach Ben Jacobson during the Panther Caravan event at the Iowa Hall of Pride in Des Moines.

Here are some highlights from the conversation on Monday night:

UNI is "still looking" for candidates to fill its final 2018 scholarship. The Panthers were in the final four for Wichita State transfer Austin Reaves, but he ultimately picked Oklahoma. They were also a contender for Kansas power forward Parker Braun earlier this spring, but Arizona, Illinois and LSU have since become the front-runners.
