There has been a lot to like about the Northern Iowa Panthers lately. They have shocked the world more than once but if coach Ben Jacobson and his team are going to do it again during the 2015-16 season, they will need their upperclassmen to really step up. Seth Tuttle has graduated and Wes Washpun returns as the leading returning scorer at just 7.7 points a game. It will boil down to how good the team’s defense is while trying to get the shooting touch down early in the season. If the Panthers can do that, they will fly under the radar once again. Here is a look at the 2015-16 schedule for Northern Iowa.
