Omaha and Denver are moving in different directions as Summit League rivals collide on Wednesday night in college basketball.
Omaha (10-9) takes a six-game winning streak and a perfect 4-0 Summit League record into Wednesday night’s matchup with Denver (6-13) at Hamilton Gymnasium. The Pioneers are the last winless team in the Summit League at 0-4 and have lost seven straight games. The Mavericks haven’t made an NCAA tournament appearance since moving up from Division II in 2011 and last reached the postseason in 2016, losing in the first round of the College Basketball Invitational. Denver has also not seen March Madness since transitioning to Division I in 1998 and its last postseason trip was a second round exit in the 2013 NIT.
