Name: University of Nebraska-Omaha
Location: Omaha, Nebraska, duh
It's kind of a bummer, isn't it? Yeah, if this school didn't exist, we could derisively refer to Creighton as Nebraska-Omaha, just because of the Jayskers.
Speaking of Creighton: The two schools are about 4 miles apart, which is roughly the distance between Marquette and UWM.
Nickname: Mavericks
Why "Mavericks?" No idea. Their logo does remind me of South Florida's old logo, though. Why a bull is a Maverick? Still no idea.
Last Season: 17-15 in their third season in Division 1, with a 5-9 record in Summit League play and a second round appearance in the CIT.
This Season: 1-1
