Djobet’s 22 points vs North Dakota State highlighted his consistency, while Richardson’s 21 points on 90% shooting showcased his efficiency. Omaha’s shooting accuracy (46.9% FG, 114th nationally) and perimeter scoring (36.6% from three, 72nd nationally) underscore their strengths. Their 8-11 record and 2-6 road mark show struggles, but their ability to score efficiently makes them a dangerous underdog.

Dow’s 23 points vs Denver highlighted his consistency, while Harper’s 15.8 points per game showcased his impact. Oral Roberts’ shooting efficiency (8.8 threes per game) and free-throw production (16.3 makes per game, 124th nationally) underscore their strengths. Their 5-14 record and 4-4 home mark highlight inconsistency, but their ability to compete at the Mabee Center makes them tough at home.

Key Factors
