Nick Petaros of the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier is back for episode 47 of the On UNI Podcast.

We begin with a recap of UNI's 71-63 win over Illinois State Wednesday night, which included AJ Green surpassing 1,000 career points.

We analyze whether or not the Panthers defense is good enough to not drop a game in a tough upcoming stretch of road games.

Finally, we look ahead at UNI's road game against second-place Loyola-Chicago that's set for Saturday night at 7 p.m. on ESPN2.
