First Half Defense Derails DU vs Omaha, 83-76
Denver men’s basketball (13-15, 6-7) traveled to the Big O (that’s what they call it) Sunday to face the Omaha Mavs. Denver, riding a three game winning streak, had a chance to make it four and jump South Dakota and Omaha in the standings, both sitting at 6-6. Unfortunately, shaky defense and hot Omaha shooting sunk the Pioneers. 83-76. Continue reading First Half Defense Derails DU vs Omaha, 83-76
Late Surge Earns Denver a 3-1 Victory Over Omaha
DU men’s hockey (19-11-3, 15-6-1) got off to yet another slow start, as neither Denver nor Omaha could scratch the scoresheet. Denver got off 15 shots, 8 on target, but came up empty-handed against goaltender Simon Latkoczy. Denver also doubled up the Mavs on faceoffs, 11-5. Both teams had a power play opportunity, but zilch to show for the first 20 minutes of effort. Continue reading Late Surge Earns Denver a 3-1 Victory Over Omaha
Pioneers Overcome Slow Start to Top Omaha Mavericks, 5-2
All too often this season, the #8 Denver Pioneers (18-11-3, 14-6-1 NCHC) have put themselves behind the eight-ball with frequent slow starts. It was a big part of the reason why they muddled through the middle part of the season with only one win in seven tries, and coming off a five-game unbeaten streak, it looked like their slow-starting woes were going to strike again as they allowed the Omaha Mavericks (10-19-0, 6-13-0 NCHC) to score first on an early power play at Baxter Arena in game one of the Pioneers’ penultimate series of the regular season. But after one dominant shift halfway through the second period, DU flipped the script, dominated the remaining 30 minutes of the game, and cruised to a 5-2 road victory. The Pioneers, who have now clinched home ice advantage for at least the NCHC Tournament quarterfinals, have three regular-season games remaining. Continue reading Pioneers Overcome Slow Start to Top Omaha Mavericks, 5-2
Denver Crushes SDSU in Decisive Win, 79-61
On the heels of a two-game victorious road sweep in North Dakota, DU men’s basketball (13-14, 6-6) returned to Hamilton Gym to face the North Dakota State Jackrabbits. The winnning formula for Denver this season is simple – hold opponents in the 70’s and win. The Jackrabbits have been scoring at a 75.9 per-game clip so if DU held SDSU to their season average, the Pioneers had a good chance at victory. They did even better, besting the Jackrabbits 79-61 in a runaway victory. Continue reading Denver Crushes SDSU in Decisive Win, 79-61
Big 12 Gymnastics Conference Suddenly Down to Six Teams
Iowa State’s meet at Magness on February 1st turned out to be their last of the season. Five days after the Cyclone’s loss to DU, and just one day before their next scheduled competition, ISU head coach Ashley Miles Greig announced, “At this time, we do not have enough student-athletes available to safely field a team against West Virginia, and regrettably must cancel this competition.” Then even more shockingly, on February 8th, Iowa State canceled the entire remainder of their 2026 season. Continue reading Big 12 Gymnastics Conference Suddenly Down to Six Teams

Pioneers Take Care Of Business vs. Tigers to Earn 5-Point Weekend
Friday night’s shootout victory in Colorado Springs, the game that clinched the Gold Pan for DU, provided all the drama the #8 Denver Pioneers (17-11-3, 13-6-1 NCHC) had to worry about this weekend. In game two against the Colorado College Tigers (11-13-4, 5-9-4 NCHC) in Denver, the Pioneers never trailed and coasted to a 4-1 victory, which earned them a five-point weekend to stay two points back of first-place North Dakota. After recording just one win in an eight-game stretch from December 13 to January 23, the Pioneers are now on a five-game unbeaten streak, dating back to the 6-0 drubbing of St. Cloud State two weeks ago. Continue reading Pioneers Take Care Of Business vs. Tigers to Earn 5-Point Weekend

Denver Sweeps the Dakotas, Dismantles North Dakota, 98-79

Fresh off a win against (then) conference undefeated NDSU, the Pioneers looked to put the brakes on the Fighting Hawks six-game winning streak. Three DU players scored 20+ points but it was solid, complimentary defense that aided Denver in the win. DU put together a Dakotas road show, leading the entire game from start to finish.
