These two teams are rather similar, the only difference would be the perimeter defense. Bradley currently leads the country in percentage from three, 40.8%, and the Panthers are allowing 35.1%, towards the bottom tier of the country. Bradley has covered four of the last six games and are the much better free throw shooting team.

Both have safely avoided the first round of Arch Madness, to begin later this week in St Louis, with straight passes to the quarterfinal round. At stake this afternoon at Peoria is the second seed for the tourney, which goes to the winner. Lots of good shooters are on the floor; Bradley, hitting 40.9% beyond the arc, ranks tops in the nation in three-point accuracy, with rapid-fire G Duke Deen firing 234 times all by himself from tripleville, connecting on 41%. Meanwhile, UNI shoots a very respectable 37% from deep, with the aptly-named G Trey Campbell (43.7% triples) the designated gunner. The Panthers took an 83-69 verdict February 2 at Cedar Falls, well above the 139.5 total that afternoon. Play UNI-Bradley Over

Northern Iowa handled Bradley in the first meeting, winning 83-69 after leading by 30. I'm betting on payback Sunday behind the Braves' nation-best 3-point shooting (40.9 percent). Bradley is solid at both ends of the floor, leading the conference in shooting percentage defense (40.9). Look for Duke Deen and company to celebrate Senior Day with a win and cover, securing the No. 2 seed in the MVC Tournament.
