Nebraska Omaha at Western Illinois

Nebraska Omaha has not spent a lot of time in Division-1 basketball, but they have made some noise this season as they are off to a 15-8 start, on the strength of nine wins in their last 11 games. This team likes to push the tempo, as it is all about offense, averaging 85.2 points per game. The bad news is that they are 3-5 SU when they score 78 or fewer points in a game on the season. Western Illinois has for a long time been about a slow and methodical tempo. The key number for Nebraska Omaha has been more than 78 points, and over the last eight years, Western Illinois has allowed just 18 of 217 opponents to get to 79, or 8.3%, a number that improves on their home court. This is a good spot for the home dog to get an upset win. Take Western Illinois on the moneyline.
