Omaha Clinches Auto-Bid Due To STMN Being Ineligible For March Maddness

Omaha will play St Thomas-Minnesota today, but win or lose, they're going dancing.

#1 seeded Omaha dominated #5 seeded South Dakota en route to the Summit League Championship against St. Thomas. STMN is the 2 seed, but they are not eligible for March Maddness since they have not completed their transition to division 1 yet, so Omaha has clinched the tournament win or lose.

Tony Osburn shot 9-11 from the field and 8-9 from three with 30 points to lead both teams. Marquee Sutton was 8-12 for 19 points, and JJ White was 5-7 with 14 points in the semifinals game.

Since they haven't won the conference yet they haven't had a true celebration.
