UNI downs Creighton in the Dome

For the second time this season UNI has toppled a nationally ranked opponent. The Panthers used the long-ball Wednesday night to down 24th ranked Creighton 82-73. Freshman Brooks McKowen scored a carreer high 24 points as the Panthers poured in a UNI-Dome record 12 three pointers.UNI coach Greg McDermott says the Panthers set the tone on the defensive end, as he said their philosophy was bend not break. He says they knew they’d give up some things, but he says they moved the ball well offensively and shot a great percentage. It was the first loss for Creighton and coach Dana Altman after 12 victories to begin the season. He says UNI shot the ball well and some of that was due to his team’s lack of aggressiveness.
