LOUDONVILLE - While the Saints have five days before their next game, Coach Fran McCaffery and the rest of his gang turn their attention to an very good Northern Iowa team today after beating Iona 73-60 Monday evening.

"They're huge," McCaffery said. "(Jordan) Eglseder and (Adam) Koch, you talk about your four and five at 290 (pounds) and 260 and I think (Kwadzo) Ahelegbe, to me, is a guy that really down the stretch last year played extremely well and is playing as well as anybody right now. To go on the road and play a team that's beaten Iowa State and beat Boston College, could easily be the best team on our schedule."

The Panthers (5-1) are ranked No. 3 in the Mid-Major Top 25, according to collegeinsider.com, while Siena (6-3) is No. 9.

Ahelegbe scored 32 points agianst Boston College and Koch is averaging 16.0 points per game.

Koch and Eglseder both scored 20 points in the Panthers last victory over Iowa State.

It will definitely be a game of contrasting styles as Siena likes to get it and go and Northern Iowa likes to run sets and play physical and I'm sure the Panthers will remember the 81-75 defeat the Saints handed them last year in the ESPN BracketBusters game.

Northern Iowa, whose only loss is to De Paul, plays Iowa (3-5) tonight at the McLeod Center.
