Preview: Women's Basketball Concludes Road Trip in Omaha

Season Highlights

Kansas City finishes its three-game road stretch in Omaha on Wednesday night, trying to come home with a winning record.
The Roos continued their win-loss trend, using a 10-point second half comeback to beat George Mason before falling flat against RV/#19 Missouri State.
Kansas City's 4-4 start is the best since 2016-17, when the Roos began the season 5-3.
The Roos are currently second in the WAC in field goal percentage and third in points per game, averaging 70.1 points on 42.4% shooting.
Kansas City leads the WAC and are 41st nationally in blocks per game (4.8), unchartered territory for the Roos. Last year they finished fifth in the conference, averaging 2.7.
Following Wednesday's game, the Roos will return home for a pair of big games, hosting Missouri at the Swinney Center on Sunday before taking on Kansas State in Municipal Auditorium on Dec. 14.
