POINTOFPRIDE:

UNOMathematicianCorrectlyPredictsCWSWinner They call it the "greatest show on dirt."

UNO's Andrew Swift, D.Sc., calls it an opportunity to show all the things that mathematics can do.

For more than a decade, Swift, an associate professor of mathematics and sports fan, has eagerly awaited the names of the final eight teams who will complete the field of Omaha's College World Series (CWS) so he can hopefully shine a light on which of those teams could come away a national champion.

Using a formula developed by himself and a former graduate student, Swift runs roughly 100,000 scenarios based on win-loss records, head-to-head matchups, national rankings, and other factors through a computer to come up with the best guess for which teams have the best chance to win it all.

On June 13, one night before this year's Men's College World Series began, Swift picked Tennessee to win it all. On June 24, that prediction came to fruition. With a 6-5 win over the Texas A&M Aggies in game three, the Tennessee Volunteers won the title!

Going to a UNO hockey game is a must for any Maverick family.

Join us this season to cheer on the Mavericks and see what the hype is all about!

Students can join the Maverick Maniacs in the Bullpen to really soak up the UNO school spirit!

The Omaha Mavericks finished the 2023-24 campaign with a record of 23-13-4. They secured the program's second winningest season along with its fifth NCAA Tournament berth and first ever NCHC Frozen Faceoff appearance.

Now, they've revealed their full schedule for the 2024-25 season.

Like last season, the Mavericks will open October with an exhibition.

The Wisconsin Badgers roll into Omaha on Oct. 5 for the first time since November 2019.

It will be a special night at Baxter Arena as Mike Kemp Ice will be celebrated. Coach Kemp was an assistant with the Badgers before becoming the head coach at UNO.
