ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The Kansas City men's basketball team continues its Florida trip Wednesday morning when it faces Florida A&M at 11 a.m. CT in the Showdown in St. Pete at the McArthur Center in St. Petersburg, Fla.
The Roos enter the matchup looking to bounce back after a 79-61 road loss to Jacksonville Monday evening. Kansas City is 1-2 overall, with its first win of the season coming in a 100-93 victory over Southern Illinois on Nov. 6 at Municipal Auditorium.
Kansas City opened the season with a pair of competitive matchups, falling 76-61 to Creighton before responding with a high-scoring performance against Southern Illinois. The Roos reached the 100-point mark for the first time this season against the Salukis, using an efficient offensive effort to secure their first victory of the Mark Turgeon era.
Kansas City opened its Florida trip with a 79-61 loss at Jacksonville. The Roos trailed 36-20 at halftime but found more offensive rhythm after the break, scoring 41 points in the second half. Jibbe Sicking led Kansas City with 11 points, while Jaylen Smith added nine points and five assists.
The Roos will look to carry that second-half offensive momentum into Wednesday's matchup as they continue their early-season schedule against a Florida A&M squad searching for its first victory. Kansas City will have another opportunity to build on its offensive production and gain valuable experience away from home before wrapping up the Showdown in St. Pete on Thursday.
