Mavericks Comeback Win, Marquee Dinner Ahead, and Chilly Sunday in Omaha

Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Sunday, February first. We're starting this morning with some great news from the hardwood. The Creighton Mavericks men's basketball team pulled off an impressive road victory over Denver yesterday afternoon, winning eighty four to eighty two in a thrilling finish. The Mavericks came from thirteen points down in the second half, with senior Ja'Sean Glover igniting the comeback by scoring fourteen straight points in just two minutes of play. Paul Djobet was the star of the show though, finishing with a career best twenty seven points and eleven rebounds for his third consecutive double double. The game came down to the final seconds, with Denver missing a three pointer and Djobet sealing the win at the free throw line. It was a fast paced game with wild momentum swings, but our Mavericks showed real character in that second half comeback. Head coach Chris Crutchfield praised his team's effort, calling it a great team performance. The Mavericks are now twelve and twelve overall and sit at five and four in the Summit League. They'll be back on the road this Thursday when they travel to North Dakota. On the community calendar, we've got something special coming up this month. Mary Our Queen will be hosting its twenty ninth annual Marquee Dinner and Auction on Saturday, February twenty first at the LaVista Embassy Suites Conference Center. It's a great way to support the school and enjoy an evening with friends and neighbors. As we look at the rest of today, Sunday brings us typical early February conditions here in Omaha. With the recent basketball action happening indoors, folks looking to get outside should bundle up. Temperatures will be in the low thirties, so we're looking at a chilly but dry day overall. Looking ahead to the week, we've got plenty of activity lined up around the metro.
