UNI looks forward to showdown with UNC

Posted Jun 12, 2015
The anticipation is already building for Northern Iowa's Nov. 21 basketball showdown against North Carolina. "There is quite a bit of buzz about that game," senior guard Paul Jesperson said, "whether it's people back home texting me, or seeing people on campus or in the grocery store, coming up and asking about it." It'll be a homecoming for Tar Heels guard Marcus Paige, a Linn-Mar High School alum. (Des Moines Register)
