Meet the UMKC Kangaroos, who would rather forget about two-point shots

The Missouri-Kansas City basketball team has a couple things going for it: it’s nickname is the Kangaroos, and it has some solid Warriors-esque uniforms. Unfortunately, neither has anything to do with the actual playing of basketball. UMKC is 3-7 so far this season, with one of those wins coming against a non-DI school.

The Kangaroos are very much in rebuilding mode this season after losing six seniors—including all five starters—off of last year’s squad. The team welcomed nine new players to the team this season and in the process went from one of the nation’s most experienced to one of the nation’s youngest.
