AJ Green's rough return to UNI basketball is not a cause for concern, for now

CEDAR FALLS — Trae Berhow laughed in bewilderment at the stat he just heard. That couldn't be accurate, right?

Thirteen straight missed shots?

For AJ Green?

No way.

"I've never even seen him miss three shots in a row," Berhow said. "That's never going to happen again. I can promise you that. AJ Green will not let that happen again."

What was supposed to be a grand return for Green, Berhow and the rest of Northern Iowa basketball Tuesday night morphed into an opening-night disaster. Green never found his shot — and, really, neither did any other Panthers — as UNI trudged out of McLeod Center with a 62-58 loss to Nicholls State.
