What to Know

The Denver Pioneers will be returning home after a three-game road trip. Denver and the Nebraska Omaha Mavericks will face off in a Summit battle at 4 p.m. ET Saturday at Hamilton Gymnasium. The Pioneers have been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with Nebraska Omaha and are hoping to record their first win since Jan. 18 of 2020.

After constant struggles on the road, Denver has finally found some success away from home. They walked away with a 63-55 victory over the UMKC Kangaroos on Monday.

Meanwhile, Nebraska Omaha took a serious blow against the South Dakota Coyotes on Saturday, falling 105-70.

Denver is the favorite in this one, with an expected 6.5-point margin of victory. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread as they are currently on a two-game streak of ATS wins.

Denver's win lifted them to 7-14 while Nebraska Omaha's loss dropped them down to 3-16. We'll see if the Pioneers can repeat their recent success or if the Mavericks bounce back and reverse their fortune.
