Rebounding Rewind
Omaha outrebounded Central Arkansas last Sunday, 51-25. The 26+ margin was the highest of any Maverick team since the first year of Derrin Hansen's career, when UNO outrebounded York College, 57-26, for a 31+ margin on Dec. 6, 2005. UNO's 26 offensive rebounds on Sunday were the most since the Mavs pulled down 30 offensive boards vs. Peru State on Feb. 1, 2012.

Omaha also had more offensive rebounds (26) than defensive rebounds (25) against Central Arkansas. The last time that occurred was against Peru State on Feb. 1, 2012.

In his Maverick debut, junior forward Jake White pulled down 10 rebounds in the first half alone against UCA, including eight on the offensive end. His 10 first-half boards were the most since senior forward Mike Rostampour had 14 in the first 20 minutes against North Dakota in last year's CIT.

Mixed Schedule Takes Mavericks Around the Nation
Omaha's 2014-15 schedule includes 29 games, and the team will play in 11 states across the country. The schedule also features games against three 2014 NCAA Tournament teams -- Kansas State, Nebraska and defending Summit League champion North Dakota State. In total, UNO will square off with opponents from seven other conferences.

The Mavericks have never faced two of their opponents: Marquette and Kansas State. They hold a combined all-time record of 182-223 over all teams on the regular-season slate.

No Longer the Newcomers
Omaha is in its fourth and final year as a reclassifying Division I school in 2014-15 and its third as a member of the Summit League. UNO is ineligible for the Summit League Tournament and NCAA/NIT postseason play until 2015-16 but will play a full regular-season conference schedule through last transitional year. It is, however, eligible for the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) and CollegeInsider.com Tournament (CIT) in the postseason. Omaha played in the first and second rebounds of the 2014 CIT, and it was the first reclassifying school to receive an at-large bid in the tournament's history.

Up Next
Omaha returns to action on Tuesday, Nov. 25, traveling to in-state foe Nebraska. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, Neb., and the game will be broadcast nationally on ESPN3.
