For reference regarding their game tomorrow against Omaha, WIU split their two regular season games at Omaha pretty much exactly a month ago this last weekend. Omaha won the first game 105-102 in 2 OT, then WIU won the Sunday game 89-66.

Until today, it had been 3 weeks since their last game. Hopefully they were able to knock off a bit of rust and are able to come out strong tomorrow.

The last 1.6 seconds:

Omaha won Monday's game 69-55.

Omaha out-scored Western 23-10 in the 3rd quarter. Western finishes the season with a 8-16 record.
