A couple of local Missouri Valley teams headline a doubleheader on CSN on Wednesday night.

In the first game at 6 p.m., Northern Iowa travels to Loyola while the second game at 8 p.m. will be Missouri State playing at Illinois State. You can see both of these games live on CSN.

The Ramblers (10-5, 0-2) are off to a sluggish start in conference play after looking good early in the season. Junior forward Aundre Jackson leads the way for Loyola at 15.1 points and 4.1 rebounds per game while senior guard Milton Doyle, a Marshall product from the Public League, is putting up 14.4 points and 4.3 assists per game.

The Panthers (5-8, 0-2) are also looking to pick up their first win in league play as Northern Iowa enters this one with four straight losses. Senior Jeremy Morgan has been outstanding this season but he needs more help as he leads the team in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks.

In the second game, Illinois State (10-4, 2-0) is trying to keep pace with Wichita State after a good start. The Redbirds are coming off of two consecutive double-digit wins to start Valley play as senior forward Deontae Hawkins (14.4 points, 6.7 rebounds) and senior guard Paris Lee (13.6 points, 5.4 assists per game) are playing well.

Missouri State (11-4, 2-0) has been playing good ball lately as they have three straight wins. Junior forward Alize Johnson has been playing great ball lately as he's averaging 14.2 points and 9.7 rebounds per game.
