Mavs cruise in men's Sapp Fieldhouse finale
It was high on history, but low on drama. In the final scheduled men's basketball game at Sapp Fieldhouse, UNO cruised to an 85-68 victory over its shorthanded rival from the University of Nebraska at Kearney. An announced crowd of 1,949 turned out Wednesday for what also served as UNO's Alumni Night — with many former players on hand, including all-time scoring leader Dean Thompson and longtime coach Bob Hanson.

UNO entered Sunday’s contest with Division I independent Cal State-Bakersfield with a 1-12 record against D-I schools and a 9-3 record against all other opponents. That trend continued in front of 1,379 at Sapp Fieldhouse as the Mavs were able to stay with the Roadrunners, and at times were in control, but were unable to come up with plays...
