Kansas City beat North Dakota 77-56 back in early January to earn the Roos second conference win and first of 2026.

Kansas City swept Omaha with a 61-59 victory at home on New Year's Eve and a 60-59 win on the road that was capped off by an Emani Bennett game-winning layup on the last play of the game. It's Kansas City's second ever season sweep in the Summit under Jackson-Durrett and first since UNO back in 2023-24.
