OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - The Omaha Blue Crew is still on the hunt for the $1 million winner-take-all prize after defeating Team Overtime 74-70 in the first round of the Omaha Regional. The team, featuring mainly Creighton alums and Omaha natives, was lead by former Texas A&M and Gonzaga guard Admon Gilder with 12 points, followed by former UNO and Nevada forward Tre’Shawn Thurman with 11 points.
