March is officially here, which means Arch Madness isn’t far behind.
This year, the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament will take place at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis starting on Thursday. All 10 schools will vie for the right to play in this year’s NCAA Tournament.
Northern Iowa enters the tournament as the MVC’s top seed. The Panthers (18-10) won their last four games and finished the regular season with a 14-4 conference record. That includes Saturday’s overtime win over Loyola.
The conference title is UNI’s second in the last three seasons under head coach Ben Jacobson.
