Series History | Omaha leads the all-time series 12-10, and are currently working a six-game winning streak over the Leathernecks.  
 
Western's Last Outing | Western Illinois played host to Oral Roberts Thursday night (January 16), where a late run sparked its visitors to an 87-70 victory. The game was within Western's grasp, no more than two possessions out of reach, until the final seven minutes of the night where ORU embarked on a 10-0 run.
 
The Leathernecks' closest second-half deficit sat at 57-54 with 11:20 left. 
 
Tip-Ins 
 
· C.J. Duff manages 933 career points and is on the cusp of becoming the second Leatherneck to score 1K this season 
· Kobe Webster and Zion Young have reached double figures in every Summit game this season and are averaging 15.5 and 15.2 points, respectively, in league play
· Sixty-three percent of Ben Pyle's made field goals come from behind the arc 
 
From Three | Ben Pyle sits fifth in the Summit with 44 made 3-pointers. The sophomore guard hit a career-high five against Purdue Fort Wayne (January 8), and is currently eighth in the nation in 3-point field goal percentage (45.8).
 
Mr. Consistency | In his four-year tenure, C.J. Duff has appeared and started in 102 games. He has missed just one outing in his career -- the November 20 matchup versus UT Martin this season -- after requiring oral surgery for an injury suffered at Indiana.    
 
Joe Dykstra (1978-83) holds the program record for most games started at 112 while Ceola Clark III (2008-13) is the record holder for 124 games played.
