About Nebraska-Omaha
Scouting Nebraska-Omaha (4-3)
The Mavericks have rebounded nicely from a 1-3 start as UNO has claimed three consecutive victories coming into the crosstown battle with the Bluejays. Nebraska-Omaha earned a 57-50 win in its final game at the Florida International Tournament, downing Florida A&M on Nov. 25. Four days later the Mavericks bested Detroit Mercy 51-42.
Nebraska-Omaha enters Wednesday's contest following its most lopsided win since Jan. 1, 2017 ( a 106-37 win over York (NAIA)) as the Mavericks defeated Graceland (NAIA) 81-39 on Dec. 2.
The Mavericks have offered a very balanced scoring attack this season as eight players average from 5.3 to 9.7 ppg. Four different Mavs have led UNO in scoring this season, including Rayanna Carter (8.4 ppg) who led Nebraska-Omaha with 14 against Graceland.
Scouting Creighton (2-4)
Creighton offered a strong tonic to the slow start with a 74-65 win over intrastate rival Nebraska on Dec. 2. The victory itself was one that could launch the Bluejays into winning streak. Over the Bluejays last two games Creighton has seen sophomores Temi Carda and Tatum Rembao step up against #24 Drake and Nebraska respectively. In addition freshman Payton Brotzki had a strong showing versus the Bulldogs, while Olivia Elger delivered 16 points versus the Huskers.
Two additional encouraging signs in the win over the Huskers was the Bluejays effort on the boards (down just 39-38) and the ability to win despite an off shooting night beyond the arc at 5-of-21 (23.8%).
One area that remains a concern for Creighton is turnovers as the Bluejays committed 16 in the win on Sunday.
First Step to BLUE STATE, Beat Nebraska: Check
Looking to extend their in-state dominance to a third consecutive season, Creighton cleared the first hurdle on Sunday, Dec. 2 as the Bluejays bested Nebraska 74-65. The win extended Creighton's winning streak over the Huskers and Mavericks (UNO) to six straight contests. The last loss to an in-state rival came on Dec. 6, 2015 at Nebraska (65-63).
Faber's Third Career Double-Double Helps Her Nab BIG EAST Honor Roll
Audrey Faber posted her third career double-double (second in 2018-19) with 18 points and 10 rebounds in the win over Nebraska on Dec. 2nd. Combined with her 11 points and six rebounds versus #24 Drake on Nov. 28 helped the Bluejay forward claim a spot ont he BIG EAST Honor Roll for the second time this season.
Bluejays' Third Straight Victory Over Huskers Marks Creighton's Longest Winning Streak in the Series
The 74-65 win over Nebraska on Dec. 2 marked the first time in the 44-game series that Creighton has collected three consecutive wins. Trailing the overall series 30-14, Creighton also notched
back-to-back victories twice previously (Jan. 1, 1986 and Dec. 8, 1986 as well as Dec. 10, 1993 and Dec. 28, 1994).
