OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — JJ White’s 17 points helped Omaha defeat UMKC 77-58 on Wednesday night.
White shot 6 for 10 (3 for 5 from 3-point range) and 2 of 3 from the free-throw line for the Mavericks (9-9, 3-0 Summit League). Lance Waddles shot 6 for 10, including 3 for 6 from beyond the arc to add 17 points. Kamryn Thomas had 14 points and finished 6 of 7 from the field.
Babacar Diallo led the Kangaroos (10-8, 2-1) in scoring, finishing with 15 points and two steals. Jamar Brown added 12 points for UMKC. Jayson Petty had 12 points. The loss ended a six-game winning streak for the Kangaroos.
Omaha took the lead with 18:57 remaining in the first half and never looked back. The score was 33-25 at halftime, with Tony Osburn racking up 11 points. Omaha pulled away with a 13-0 run in the second half to extend a five-point lead to 18 points. They outscored UMKC by 11 points in the final half, as Waddles led the way with a team-high 15 second-half points.
Omaha’s next game is Saturday against South Dakota State at home, and UMKC visits North Dakota State on Thursday.
