The school began use of the Marine Corps’ official nickname, “The Fighting Leathernecks”, in 1927 when then-athletic director and head baseball, basketball and football coach Ray “Rock” Hanson was granted permission by the U.S. Navy, based on his status as a Marine hero, to use the nickname. 1 FOLLOW LEATHERNECK BASKETBALL: @WIUMensHoops 2016-17 Western Illinois Basketball Western Illinois Combined Team Statistics (as of Jan 21, 2017) 2016-17 OVERALLAll games STATISTICS RECORD: OVERALL HOME AWAY NEUTRAL ALL GAMES 6-12 4-4 2-8 0-0 CONFERENCE 3-4 2-1 1-3 0-0 NON-CONFERENCE 3-8 2-3 1-5 0-0 Total 3-Point F-Throw Rebounds ## Player gp-gs min avg fg-fga fg% 3fg-fga 3fg% ft-fta ft% off def tot avg pf dq a to blk stl pts avg 31 Garret Covington 18-18 590 32.8 110-253 .4 3 5 55-141 .3 9 0 80-91 .8 7 9 8 63 71 3.9 28 1 49 44 2 14 355 19.7 30 Mike Miklusak 13-11 451 34.7 70-167 .4 1 9 34-87 .3 9 1 27-37 .7 3 0 8 111 119 9.2 45 1 30 31 4 16 201 15.5 40 C.J.
