Omaha basketball celebrates wins with trash can tradition

Omaha's basketball team has a unique celebration tradition of hitting a trash can after wins. This started when associate head coach Kyan Brown kicked a can during a tough season, leading to a turnaround with 18 wins in 21 games. The Mavericks, now in the NCAA Tournament for the first time, will face second-seeded St. John's. They have a strong season record of 22-12 and are on a six-game winning streak, showcasing improved performance since adopting the trash can celebration. Fans have embraced the tradition, even participating in a "Bring Your Own Can" event. Omaha's success is attributed to their strong 3-point shooting and standout players, including Summit League Player of the Year Marquel Sutton.
