>> Scouting UNO: The Mavericks are set for an unusual matchup of two teams that refer to themselves as UNO, as well as two teams transitioning to different divisions. The University of Nebraska at Omaha is reclassifying from Division II to Division I, while New Orleans is transitioning from Division I to Division II. … The Mavs wrap up their season Monday night at Louisiana-Lafayette. … Should UNO win both of its remaining games (ULL is 5-21 overall and 0-14 in the Sun Belt Conference), the Mavs would finish 16-11 and have their best winning percentage (.593) since going 20-11 in 2005-06. No other UNO team has had a better winning percentage dating to 1996-97. … Jamie Nash has 107 steals, the third-highest single-season total in school history, and ranks second in Division I at 4.3 per game.
>> Scouting New Orleans: Keri Thomas, who scored 30 points in Monday’s 85-83 loss to Mobile (Ala.) is averaging 17.5 points over her past six games. … The Privateers are 0-12 against NAIA teams. … Hungarian scoring leader Mirjam Sipos is the only player on the roster left from two years ago, when New Orleans was a full Division I member and went 12-20 overall and 4-14 in the Sun Belt Conference. … The Privateers were 3-19 last year. … New Orleans has played three Division I teams this season, losing to Tulane 86-39, Marquette 96-35 and Southeastern Louisiana 81-30.
