The Northern Iowa Panthers return to Missouri Valley action on Saturday with the first of a two game series at Southern Illinois.
The Panthers are 2-6 in the Missouri Valley and UNI coach Ben Jacobson says Saluki coach Bryan Mullins will have his team ready to play despite their 1-5 start in the league race.
UNI is coming off a win over Coe and while Jacobson called it a less than inspiring effort he felt it was important to avoid a two week layoff.
