The 'Dons trailed by 19 points before making a run down the stretch, scoring the final six points of the first half as they trailed UNO 26-17 heading into the locker room.
After trading baskets to open the second half, IPFW scored 10 consecutive points, tying the game35-35 on another 3-pointer from Seibert at the 10:52 mark. Omaha answered quickly with back-to-back buckets before McCarver tied the game again connecting from downtown.
With the Mastodons trailing 48-46 and 5:50 to play, a 6-0 Maverick run extended their lead for good. The IPFW defense held UNO to only two field goals in the final 7:32, however the Mavs were able to convert on 21-of-24 at the free throw line over that span.
