Omaha Local Pulse: Mild Skies, Mavs Season Ends, Arts Thrive This Sunday

Good morning, this is Omaha Local Pulse for Sunday, March 8. We kick off with warmer days ahead, as National Today reports temperatures climbing with plenty of sunshine to finish the weekend. That means perfect conditions for outdoor plans today, though keep an eye on gusty winds near the Missouri River. Expect highs in the upper 50s this afternoon, staying mild into tomorrow. Sports fans, our Omaha Mavericks mens basketball team fought hard but fell 74-50 to top-seeded North Dakota State in the Summit League semifinal yesterday in Sioux Falls, ending their season at 16-16. Hockey wrapped up too with a tough loss to North Dakota, finishing 12-24. But excitement builds at Moylan Iceplex this morning with the Omaha Stampede Championship, Outlaws versus Tri-City Storm at 10 AM. Catch UNO softball action too, fresh off their matchup with Nebraska. Over at UNO, cultural vibes are strong with the School of the Arts Faculty Biennial Exhibition open daily at Gallery 1516. Today features UNO Choirs recital at 11:30 AM there, Bak Museum chess for all ages at 1 PM, Little Women at 2 PM in Weber Black Box Theatre, and OAYO Youth Symphony at 2:30 PM in Strauss Performing Arts Center. Mark your calendars for tomorrows UNO Juried Art Student Exhibition in Weber Fine Arts and career headshots at Eppley Admin Tuesday. No major city hall updates today, but our job market stays steady with about 5,000 openings listed locally, many in healthcare around CHI Health. Real estate sees median home prices around 285,000 dollars, up slightly near Aksarben Village. New business note: The Maverick Store at Milo Bail Student Center gears up for its biggest sale in decades Tuesday. Crime report from the past day stays calm, with Omaha Police noting a single arrest for theft near 72nd and Dodge, no injuries or public alerts.
