2H / 111-51 | Tyler Andrews hit his third three-pointer in a span of two minutes, giving the Roos a 60-point lead that would carry them to the finish line.

STATS TO NOTE

The win is the 247th of Head Coach Marvin Menzies head coaching career, and is the first on the sidelines at Kansas City.
Mukeba's eight assists are the most by a Kansas City player since Evan Gilyard II went for eight in a win over Western Illinois on Jan. 31 of last season.
After shooting 12-of-71 from three-point range in the first three games combined, the Roos knocked down the triple at a 53.1% (17-of-32) clip tonight.
Kansas City's 17 three-pointers ties a program record, previously reached against Southern Utah on Feb. 6, 2003.

THE ROOS, QUOTED

Marvin Menzies
"I thought Emmanouil (Dimou) did a good job from the point guard spot, not just from shooting the ball, but from controlling the game. It was good to see him get minutes and see what he could do."
"Allen is a work in progress like any other player on this team. The great thing about him is that he's a willing participant in his own education … He's really figuring out who he is as a basketball player.

Allen David Mukeba Jr.
"The coaches gave me a job to take the rebounds because they didn't have the length or the size. I thought I did a good job of that, and transition defense."

UP NEXT
Kansas City makes a quick trip to Manhattan, Kan. on Thursday evening for a meeting with Kansas State.
