SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — JJ White scored 29, Marquel Sutton totaled 22 points and a career-high 18 rebounds and Omaha beat St. Thomas-Minnesota 85-75 in the championship game of the Summit League Tournament. The top-seeded Mavericks (22-12) had already earned the automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament entering the game because the Tommies (24-10) — the No. 2 seed — are in their final year of postseason ineligibility after making a rare leap from Division III to Division I. The Mavericks will play in the NCAA Tournament for the first time after transitioning to D-I play in 2011. Omaha's 22 victories this season are its most since the move up.
