Western's Last Outing | Western Hall fell quiet Saturday night, as its home team sat on the unfavorable side of a 20-point deficit, but the final half was electric.

The Leathernecks rallied back to make it a two-point contest in the final minutes, before dropping the 71-61 heartbreaker to South Dakota State.

Starting Five | Western has sent the same starting lineup to the floor in all but two games this season. Kyle Arrington earned his first career start in the home contest against the Jackrabbits, and the decision proved to be fruitful as he tied career-highs in several categories.

Points | 10, twice, last vs. South Dakota State (2/1)
Rebounds |  7, twice, last vs. South Dakota State (2/1)
Assists | 1, five times, last vs. South Dakota State (2/1)
Steals | 2, twice, last vs. South Dakota State (2/1)
Blocks | 2, twice, last vs. South Dakota State (2/1)

Mr. Consistency | In his four-year tenure, C.J. Duff has appeared and started in 106 games. He has missed just one outing in his career -- the November 20 matchup versus UT Martin earlier 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.  

Mr. 1000 | Kobe Webster's journey to 1,000 career points took three years (just 62 games). Heading into the Leathernecks' home matchup against UT Martin (November 13), the junior was a point shy of the mark and went on to finish the game with a career-high 28.

Webster currently sits 14th all-time with 1,287 points.
