What to Know

The Northern Iowa Panthers have enjoyed the comforts of home their last three games, but now they must head out on the road. They will square off against the #16 Arkansas Razorbacks at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday at Bud Walton Arena.

Everything came up roses for Northern Iowa at home against the Dubuque Spartans on Sunday as the team secured a 95-58 victory.

Meanwhile, the Razorbacks strolled past the Gardner-Webb Bulldogs with points to spare on Saturday, taking the game 86-69. Arkansas can attribute much of their success to Connor Vanover, who had 19 points in addition to seven rebounds and three blocks.

The Panthers are the clear underdogs, so they're hoping it's the size of the fight that determines this one. The teams have had problems against the spread this season as they are both 0-2.

Their wins bumped Northern Iowa to 1-2 and Arkansas to 2-0. We'll see which team can carry over their success and which team inevitably falls when Northern Iowa and the Razorbacks clash.
