Valparaiso vs Northern Iowa Basketball Preview - 03-07-2025

Northern Iowa struggled from three-point range and committed too many turnovers in their loss to Valparaiso Beacons, even with Tytan Anderson scoring 27 points during a career-high performance. Unfortunately for them, they couldn't close out an advantage built up by Valparaiso for much of the game.

Beacons made history this season when they defeated one of the Top-10 teams and two Top-5 opponents within three games. Additionally, their offensive output averaged 46.1% of field goal attempts which is 2.9% better than what Beacons concede.

The Panthers boast an excellent road record and have won seven out of their last ten meetings with Valparaiso; however, in their only meeting this season (80-73) they were outscored in the paint by 17 points compared to what would normally be expected from them.

At one end of the spectrum is their ineffectiveness at limiting three-pointers and possessing one of the worst defensive ratings in the MVC, yet on the other they rank highly in offensive rebounding while providing excellent free throw offense converting 16 of 31 attempts from free throw line.

Northern Iowa will have an edge on both ends of the court, giving them an edge that should enable them to secure victory in this game. Bet on them covering the 7.5-point spread!
