Omaha enters the year with high expectations after winning the Summit League last season before dancing in March.
The Mavericks enjoyed a 22-13 season that ended with a Round of 64 loss against St. John’s.
Omaha lost its top two scorers in the transfer portal, Marquel Sutton (LSU) and JJ White (Baylor)
The Mavericks will lean on senior guard Tony Osburn. He averaged 13.5 points last season and is expected to take over as the team's top scorer this season.

Murray State Basketball
The Racers come into the season attempting to bounce back from a 16-17 campaign a season ago.
Several changes were made to this program during the offseason. Most notably, the hiring of Ryan Miller, the first-year head coach at Murray State. Miller was the top assistant under Greg McDermott at Creighton.
Murray State won't return a single player from its roster from last season. Miller was active in the transfer portal, though, adding two former Creighton players, Mason Miller and Fred King.
Additionally, the Racers landed JJ Traynor from Louisville and KJ Tenner from West Virginia.
Murray State is predicted to finish fourth in the Missouri Valley Conference.
