Scouting Nebraska-Omaha
Omaha comes to town with a 2-1 record and are coming off their biggest win since moving to Division I, a 97-89 win at Marquette on Saturday. The Mavericks became the first non-power conference team to win at Marquette since current Nebraska coach Tim Miles led North Dakota State to a win there in 2006. UNO, which went 17-15 and played in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament (CIT), is coached by Derrin Hansen, who is in his 10th season at the school and has guided the program from the Division II ranks. UNO is in its final year of transition and will be eligible for the NCAA Tournament and NIT beginning next season. The Mavericks downed Central Arkansas (100-75) in their home opener before falling at Seattle (74-98) to start this current three-game road trip.

UNO has been impressive offensively, averaging 90.3 points per game while shooting 45 percent from the field and 38 percent from 3-point range. This year, Omaha returned four starters, including senior guard CJ Carter, who averages 21.3 points per game, while Mike Rostampour is averaging 10.0 points and 9.3 rebounds per game. Devin Patterson has been solid running the point, averaging 17.3 points and 6.0 assists per contest. UNO has outrebounded opponents by 10.0 boards per game and averages 16.0 offensive rebounds per game. Nebraska is one of several high-profile opponents on the non-conference slate, including games at Kansas State and Marquette before opening Summit League action.
