UNI men's basketball edges Valparaiso for fourth straight home win

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa --- All five Panther starters cracked double-digit scoring figures on Wednesday night as UNI men's basketball won its fourth straight home game in a 77-66 win over the Valparaiso Beacons inside the McLeod Center.

UNI is now 17-1 all-time at home against the Beacons, while head coach tied former Creighton coach Dana Altman with his 182nd Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) game win, second most in league history.

The Panthers commanded excellent ball movement the whole night on the court, drawing the Beacons into early foul trouble in the first ten minutes of play and slowing Valparaiso big man Ben Krikke down offensively.
