Kansas City Men's Basketball got back on track on Saturday evening with a 102-75 win over Spurgeon, snapping a nine-game losing streak. In Kansas City's two wins, the Roos are shooting 50.8% from the field. In losses, their shooting percentage dips to 40.2%.
Jerome Palm has proven to be a steady scoring option for the Roos, reaching double digits in a team-high five-straight games. He went for career-high scoring days in back-to-back games, scoring 15 points against Weber State and following that up with a 21-point game against Spurgeon.
Palm has also gone for back-to-back double-doubles, moving into a tie for the Summit League lead in double-doubles this season. He went for 15 points, 15 rebounds and five blocks against Weber State, the third 15-15-5 game in the NCAA this season and the first by a Kansas City player since at least the 2004-05 season, according to Sports Reference.
Kasheem Grady II led Kansas City with a career-high 23 points against Spurgeon, knocking down five three-pointers on just seven three-point attempts. Grady has pushed his scoring average from 7.6 points per game to 10.4 points per game, reaching double digits in three of the last four contests.
