JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Kansas City men's basketball team hits the road Monday evening for a non-conference matchup against Jacksonville at 6 p.m. CT inside Swisher Gymnasium in Jacksonville, Fla.
Kansas City enters the matchup with a 1-1 record after earning a 100-93 victory over Southern Illinois Friday evening at Municipal Auditorium. The Roos captured their first win of the Mark Turgeon era behind a balanced offensive performance, scoring 100 points for the first time this season.
Kansas City established its offensive rhythm early, putting up 55 first-half points and connecting on 10 three-pointers before the break. The Roos finished the night shooting 57.9% from the field and 60.9% from beyond the arc, knocking down 14-of-23 attempts from three-point range. Kansas City also recorded 23 assists on 33 made field goals, showcasing its ball movement and offensive balance.
Lincoln Goodwin led the Roos with 19 points off the bench, while Carl Daughtery Jr. added 18 points and four three-pointers. Sebastian Hartmann and Matija Samar each contributed 14 points, and Jaylen Smith finished with 12 points and a team-high six assists. Kansas City received 43 points from its bench and had five players finish in double figures.
The victory marked the Roos' first win under Turgeon and their first 100-point performance of the 2026-27 campaign. Kansas City now looks to carry that offensive momentum into its first road contest of the regular season as it begins a three-game stretch in Florida.
