Kansas City Notes

Kansas City Women's Basketball gears up for a massive road tilt against No. 6 Oklahoma at 8 p.m. on Wednesday evening. The Roos are coming off a 90-35 rout of William Jewell in which Elauni Bennett and Funmi Amode both recorded double-double performances.
Saturday afternoon, Elauni Bennett posted 18 points and 14 rebounds, 10 of those boards came on the offensive side of the glass. Funmi Amode produced a 12 point, 12 rebound double-double, the first of her career. It's the first time multiple Roos have notched a double-double in the same game since December 18, 2023.
The Roos continue to start seasons off strong at the Swinney Center, winning their last seven home openers, the latter four of which have been under Head Coach Jackson-Durrett. The Roos beat William Jewell in the 2024-25 home opener 74-32.
The Roos trip to the Sooner State will be a homecoming for Kansas City Head Coach Dionnah Jackson-Durrett. The former OU standout amassed over 1,200 points, 600 rebounds and 500 assists in her four-year career and was an three-time All-Big 12 athlete under the tutelage of Sherri Coale in Norman.
Wednesday night's matchup features as just the second time these two teams have faced off all-time and the first since the Roos joined the DI level in 1987. OU won the first and only matchup 88-62 on December 11, 1984.
