With an 0-5 record in men’s basketball, the UMKC Roos might appear to be a breeze to anyone unfamiliar with their program.
Take a closer look, and you’ll understand the challenge at hand that the Drake Bulldogs faced on Wednesday night. Prior to their game against Drake, the Roos lost only by a combined score of 17 points against their last two opponents, including a 87-80 OT loss to Morehead State two weeks ago. Earlier in November, they even held their own in a 14 point loss to Iowa.
On the Eve of Thanksgiving, the Bulldogs traveled to Kansas City with a renewed conviction.
