The Northern Iowa men are eyeing a bounce back season after an injury plagued campaign that ended with a 14-18 record. The Panthers have nearly their entire roster and better than 90 percent of their scoring returning.

That’s UNI coach Ben Jacobson, who enters his 18th year at the helm. He expects the Panthers to be improved in a number of areas.

Jacobson says roles are being defined in preseason practice.

The Panthers open on the roads on November seventh at North Texas.
