Carbondale, IL (SportsNetwork. Peter Moylan Jersey .com) - The 18th-ranked Northern Iowa Panthers head to SIU Arena on Wednesday night to battle the Southern Illinois Salukis in Missouri Valley Conference action. The Panthers, who trail only Wichita State in the league standings, have an identical overall record as the Shockers at 18-2. The team has won seven straight outings and nine of the last 10, resulting in a 7-1 mark in the MVC. Over the weekend, the Panthers were taken down to the wire in a 54-53 win at Illinois State. The Salukis, who are 10-14 all-time at home versus nationally-ranked foes, are three games under .500 on the campaign and have posted only two wins in eight league bouts. The team recently snapped a seven-game slide with consecutive triumphs over Loyola and Bradley, but last Saturday the Salukis landed right back in the loss column with a 75-66 setback at Evansville. The Panthers won the first meeting of the season versus SIU three weeks ago, 55-39. As a result, the all-time series now favors the Salukis by a 31-25 margin, although UNI has captured 11 of the last 15 encounters. In a game that featured nine ties and seven lead changes, the Panthers bounced back from a 12-point deficit midway through the second half in order to pull out the narrow victory at Illinois State. Seth Tuttle was the top performer on both sides as he recorded a double-double consisting of 21 points and 10 rebounds, but the team nearly let one get away as they finished with almost as many turnovers (16) as field goals (1. It also didnt help that Northern Iowa was limited to just five offensive rebounds. The weak effort on the offensive glass was somewhat surprising, given that just two games earlier the Panthers had registered a season-best 18 versus Missouri State at home. Then again, the Panthers did experience one game, against Denver, in which they were credited with only one rebound on offense. In conference play, Tuttle paces the program both in the scoring department and on the boards with averages of 17.1 points and 7.1 rebounds per contest. But more than that, Tuttle is also tops with 24 assists in those games as well, helping to give the Panthers a scoring advantage of 9.8 ppg. Allowing Evansville to make good on not only 61.1 percent from the floor in the first half but also 5-of-7 behind the 3-point line, the Salukis fell behind by 15 at the break and never recovered at the Ford Center. Anthony Beane tried to give the visitors a fighting chance with his 19 points, connecting on all eight of his free-throw tries, but he shot just 5-of-18 from the floor otherwise. Jordan Carolina pitched in with another 15 points as he made all but one of his six shots from the field. Over the course of eight conference outings, the Salukis are struggling to make ends meet on offense, producing only 54.9 ppg while connecting on an awful 27.3 percent on the outside. Beane may be the only double-digit scorer to turn to with his 12.6 ppg, but he is also part of the larger problem with just 6-of-35 (.171) accuracy beyond the arc and 31.1 percent shooting from the floor overall. A. J. Minter Jersey . Certainly not Monday night. George Hill took care of the early work, scoring a season-high 26 points, and Paul George closed it out by scoring 11 of his 26 points during a decisive second-half stretch that finally allowed Indiana to pull away from Minnesota 98-84 for yet another win.

After the best regular season in franchise history, the Ducks have lost four of their past six playoff games heading into a critical Game 3 at Los Angeles on Thursday night. Its barely a slump, and it includes a near-victory that got away with 7 seconds left in regulation in the second-round opener. Yet the Ducks realize what hangs on their latest trip to Staples Center, and theyre comfortable with the risk. "The belief and the confidence in this group is pretty high," Anaheim defenceman Cam Fowler said. "We know that a lot of people are counting us out right now, but that only fuels us." During their best stretches of that remarkable regular season, the Ducks were a dominant offensive team, finishing second in the NHL with 266 goals. With Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry leading the way, Anaheim got consistent scoring from all four lines and methodically broke down almost any defensive team -- including the Kings, who beat the Ducks just once in five tries during the regular season. In the playoffs, Anaheim has managed just three goals against Jonathan Quick in two home losses. The Kings puck-possession style and mistake-free play in their own end are remarkable at times, and even the Ducks appreciated it while spending the past two days figuring out ways to counter it. "They certainly know how to win," Fowler said. "Their style translates well to playoff hockey. Very structured, no mistakes, and make the other team beat you. "Theyve done it before, and when Quick starts playing like he is now, thats when they become a hard team to beat. Theyre certainly peaking at the right time, and we know what were up against, but we have a belief in our group that we can do it." The Ducks have made some unique travel arrangements for the nominal roadd portion of this series. Mike Lum Jersey. After Wednesdays practice, they took a bus to a hotel across the street from Staples Center. Theyre staying downtown until Game 4 on Saturday, but theyll also take the bus back to Anaheim for practice on Friday. With just three goals in more than six playoff periods against the Kings, Anaheim might attempt to boost its offence by putting Kyle Palmieri back into the lineup. The goal-scoring wing, a healthy scratch in the Ducks past four games, skated alongside Nick Bonino and Devante Smith-Pelly at practice Wednesday. Palmieri scored a career-best 14 goals in the regular season, and he had five points in last seasons first-round series loss to Detroit. The Kings are up 2-0 in a playoff series for the sixth time in the past three seasons, reaching that mark as the road team an incredible five times. They led all four series 3-0 despite opening on the road each time during their 2012 rampage through the post-season to their first Stanley Cup title. The Kings also were down 0-3 in the first round last month against San Jose, which means they realize theyre only nominally in control of this series. "A 2-0 lead is great, but its not four. We know that better than anybody," Kings centre Jarret Stoll said. "Theyve outchanced us. Theyve beaten us in a lot of areas we need to be better at." The Kings are likely to be without injured defencemen Willie Mitchell and Robyn Regehr again in Game 3, but Matt Greene and Jeff Schultz have filled in splendidly so far. Even with Quick on top of his game, the Ducks are confident they can get back in the series by getting more pucks past him. They hope to have the support of travelling Anaheim fans after the Kings had a boisterous cheering section at Honda Center, too. "We played pretty well in the first two games, and we remind ourselves of that," Anaheim goalie Jonas Hiller said. "I dont think many things need to change. We just need to keep our confidence." ' ' '
