There's no need to pinch yourself. The Omaha Mavericks are the Summit League tournament champions. With its March Madness ticket already punched, top-seeded Omaha was determined to leave Sioux Falls with a larger souvenir than a swag bag. The Mavericks defeated #2 St. Thomas, 85-75, Sunday night to return to Nebraska with a net draped around their necks, hardware in hand, and the program's Division I wins record with 22.
