sioux24/7 Posted yesterday at 02:23 PM Posted yesterday at 02:23 PM UND (KenPom 312) hits the road for the first time in Summit League play tonight, traveling to Omaha (KenPom 274) after a very successful opening weekend at The Betty. UND sits 2-0 in the league after taking down Oral Roberts and then winning a thriller over South Dakota State. That win also pushed UND’s streak over SDSU to three straight for the first time since the early 90s. Omaha is the defending Summit League champion but is off to a slower start this season after losing Marquell Sutton and JJ White to the transfer portal. Despite that, they still have plenty of familiar faces. Tony Osburn (#32) leads the way with 13.9 points per game. Kam Thomas (#22) is only averaging 6 points so far but was a solid contributor last season. Ja’Sean Glover (#5) is also someone UND fans will remember and is putting up 10.4 points and 5.1 rebounds per game. Their best player is recently eligible Paul Djobet (#11) averaging 16.8ppg in 4 games. There is also a heavy emotional layer to this matchup. Omaha was expecting to have another familiar player to UND fans on the roster this year in Deng Mayar before his tragic passing this summer. It would not be surprising if that creates some real emotions on both sides when the ball tips. KenPom projects this one as a loss for UND 77-71. Vegas has UND at +5.5 with a total of 146.5. Tip is at 7pm on the Summit League Network. Should be a good road test to see if UND can keep the early season Summit momentum rolling. 1 Quote
