UNI hopes for big crowd for big game

University of Northern Iowa officials are hoping to fill the Mcleod Center for the Panthers regular season finale against Evansville tonight. With a victory, the Panthers would earn at least a share of their first Missouri Valley Conference regular season title.

It would also lock up the number-one seed at the conference post season tournament. Associate athletic director Leon Costello says there are tickets remaining on-line at UNIPanthers.com , or call 319-273-4-tix.

Costello says as of late Friday morning better than 5,000 tickets had been sold. He says the sales have been pretty good and they are looking for a big crowd.

The McLeod Center seats just over 7,000 fans.
