Nebraska-Omaha will join the Summit League for the 2012-13 season and had a preview this week when they dropped an 81-70 decision to Western Illinois.

UNO lost by 11 points, but they also fouled the same player twice while shooting a three-pointer, which was made and also called for a technical.

"You foul two three-point shooters, and this is not the basketball game, but you foul two three-point shooters and a technical and…you play ‘em even, you're even," said Derrin Hansen.  "That's nine points right there so basically you're a possession [away]."

UNO has a 7-15 record this season, with their wins mostly coming against non-Division I schools.

"If you wanna talk measuring stick, maybe we're not perfect, maybe we're not there right now but I hope people would understand that we're not far," Hansen said.  "We have players on our team, one that's sitting next to me (Mitch Albers), that can play in this league,  amongst other guys on our team right now."
