Fast-break points: Lineups and quick hits for Nebraska-Western Illinois

Western Illinois' two wins are against North Park University and Dominican (Illinois) University, a pair of NCAA Division III schools, and their last two losses have come by two points in overtime, and two points in a game it led by 10 with four minutes left. The third defeat is a 78-67 loss to Creighton in the season-opener in Omaha. The Leathernecks led that game by eight midway through the first half, as Webster scored 24, and Gilbeck blocked seven shots. This isn't the typical nonconference cupcake. Nebraska will need to be sharp.
