CEDAR FALLS, Iowa --- UNI wraps up its four game homestand on Monday night as the Panthers face the South Florida Bulls for the first time in non-conference action at the McLeod Center. The Panthers are 3-2 at home this season and 188-55 all-time inside the McLeod Center.
Â
Monday's game is only the second time UNI has faced an opponent from the American Athletic Conference (AAC) since its founding in 2013. The Panthers lone win over an AAC school came in 2017 in a 61-58 victory over SMU in the opening round of the Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas.

UNI PANTHERS
The Panthers look to bounce back after a difficult loss to McNeese State last Friday night by a score of 52-49. UNI was held to a season-low 29.1% mark from the field with 18 turnovers, with the Cowboys capitalizing with 23 points of Panther giveaways. The Panthers exchanged control of the lead 14 times throughout the game, but struggled to find the bottom of the net in the final minutes.
Â
Trey Campbell led UNI with a career-high of 17 points against McNeese State, shooting 5-of-12 from beyond the arc with 6 boards. Michael Duax recorded his first career double-double with a career-high in points (16) and rebounds (11), plus a team-high 3 steals. Bowen Born scored 7 points, while Tytan Anderson scored 6 points playing all 40 minutes for the first time in his career.
Â
Despite a tough shooting night against McNeese State, Born continues to lead the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) in scoring average with 20.7 points per game, and ranks sixth in total points scored (186). The third year guard has averaged 23 points a contest in his last five games.
Â
Anderson leads the league with four double-doubles this season, 18th most in the nation. The third year forward lead the MVC in rebounds per game (9.4), ranks second in defensive rebounds a game (6.6) and third in offensive boards per contest (2.7).
Â
Head coach Ben Jacobson also continues his march toward MVC history, sitting third on the conference's all-time wins list with 324. Jacobson is four wins shy of passing former Creighton coach Dana Altman for second on the list.

SOUTH FLORIDA BULLS
The Bulls return to action after a ten-day hiatus following a 79-59 win at home over Charleston Southern on Dec. 2. Despite starting the season 1-4, South Florida has won three of its last four games and comes to Cedar Falls with a 3-6 record.
Â
South Florida was picked ninth in the 11 team AAC preseason poll behind national power Houston, Memphis and Cincinnati. Led by sixth year head coach Brian Gregory, the Bulls are seeking their first winning season since the 2018-19 campaign, when USF won the College Basketball Insider (CBI) Tournament.
Â
The Bulls are led on the floor by fifth year guard Tyler Harris, who enters Monday's contest with a 14.8 points per game average. Junior center Russel Tchewa leads South Florida with a team-best 6.3 rebound per contest average, while Selton Miguel has dished out 3.5 assists a game.
Â
Four Bulls scored in double-digit figures in USF's last outing against Charleston Southern on Dec. 2, led by Harris' 15 points effort. Tchewa and Jamir Chaplin each scored 14 points as Sam Hines Jr. scored 11 points with six rebounds.
