SCOUTING THE OPPOSITION
The Division II Miners play Tuesday night
against Defending Division II champion
Central Missouri in Warrensburg, before
facing the ‘Roos Wednesday. The Miners
come in to the games at 1-0 after a 32-point
win over Missouri Baptist Saturday. T
They posted a 12-15 mark last season and
return one starter to the lineup. MST added
four junior college transfers to the roster in
the offseason. They are a high-scoring team,
ranking fifth in the nation in scoring last year.
They are led in scoring by Michael Nesbitt at
16.0 points per game while . Nesbitt leads
the way with eight rebounds a game.
UP NEXT
The ‘Roos will head to the mainland regional
of the EA Sports Maui Invitational on
Saturday and Sunday in Little Rock, Arkansas.
They will face hosts UALR on Saturday at 3:30
p.m., followed by either CSUN or Samford on
Sunday at 1 or 3:30, depending on the result.
The ‘Roos will be facing the Trojans of
Arkansas-Little Rock for the first time since
2000, and the third time all-time. The series is
tied 1-1, with each team winning on its home
floor.
The ‘Roos have never faced CSUN, and
are 2-0 against Samford all-time, winning at
home and on the road in 1989 and 1990.
THE COACHES
Kareem Richardson is in his second season
as the head coach at UMKC, posting an 11-21
record. He was named the sixth coach in the
Division I era on March 19, 2013 after helping
Louisville to a National Championship in
2013 as an assistant under Hall of Fame
coach Rick Pitino.
He brings 14 years of Division I coaching
experience to the fold, as well as four years
playing at the Division I level, graduating
from Evansville in 1997.
Jim Glash is in his sixth season as the
head coach at Missouri S&T after serving as
the assistant coach there for two seasons. He
led MST to its highest finish a year ago in the
GLVC, fourth in the east division.
NATIONALLY RANKED MID-MAJOR
For the first time in school history, UMKC
has been ranked in the Mid-Major Top 25,
coming in at No. 23 on Monday afternoon.
The ‘Roos are one of two teams from the
WAC that are ranked, as NMSU is 19th (full
poll on page 3).
THE SERIES
The ‘Roos will be facing the Miners for the
first time in the Division I era, but played
them during the NAIA days. The last meeting
was all the way back in 1979 when they were
called Missouri-Rolla. The Miners took a 10484 win on December 1 that year in Rolla.
A WIN WOULD MEAN...
- Kansas City would have moved to 2-0 at the
Swinney Recreation Center under Kareem
Richardson.
- UMKC would have won its home opener for
the first time since the 2012 season when it
rolled Lincoln University.
- The ‘Roos would have improved to 11-2
against Division II competition as a Division
I school.
WAC PRESEASON POLL
UMKC was picked fifth by the media and
sixth by the coaches.
The ‘Roos received 69 points from the
media to place fifth, ahead of Bakersfield and
behind Utah Valley. UMKC tallied 25 points
in the coach’s poll, just three points away
from being picked fourth. The ‘Roos trailed
Bakersfield by two points and Utah Valley by
three.
New Mexico State was selected to finish
first in both polls, garnering 17 of the 18
first-place votes in the media poll and all six
possible votes in the coaches vote (Coaches
could not vote for their own team).
Last season, UMKC was picked to finish
ninth, but tied for fifth in the standings, and
was the No. 4 seed in the WAC Tournament.

FREE THROW IMPROVEMENT
The ‘Roos hit 80 percent from the line
against Kansas State, and 79.3 percent
against Missouri, the highest two totals in
the Kareem Richardson era. It is a huge
improvement from last year, hitting just 63.4
percent to rank last in the Western Athletic
Conference. It is a new team though, with
only three returnees from that squad.
HARRISON’S PRESEASON HONORS
Martez Harrison was picked to the Preseason
All-WAC first-team by both the media and
coaches, with the entire first-team being
identical in both polls. Harrison averaged
17.2 points per game last season after being
named the WAC Freshman of the Year.
He shattered five freshman records at
UMKC (scoring, assists, steals, free throws
made, and free throws attempted), and
ranked eighth in the nation among freshmen
scorers a year ago. He also ranked among the
WAC leaders in scoring, assists and steals.

those into 448 points (14.9 ppg).
In the first two games this year, the ‘Roos
forced 34 turnovers and turned them into 43

BCS OPPONENT HISTORY
The ‘Roos have a 12-71 all-time record against
power conference teams, defeating eight different
schools (Baylor, Colorado, Kansas State, Mississippi
State, Missouri, Nebraska, Texas A&M and Texas
Tech).
The win over Mizzou marked the first since 2003
against K-State.
VOICES OF THE ‘ROOS
Steven Davis is in his seventh season as the radio
voice of UMKC men’s basketball program.
Neil Harwell is in his 20th season as the TV play-byplay voice of the Kangaroos. Harwell began calling
UMKC games during the 1995-96 season and will
call all the games broadcast on KSMO.
LAST TIME OUT -
(Manhattan, Kan.) - The UMKC men’s basketball squad gave
Kansas State all it could handle at Bramlage Coliseum on
Monday night, but a second half run by the Wildcats proved
to be the difference in an 83-73 contest.
“I thought our guys really came out and competed
tonight,” Head Coach Kareem Richardson said. “We got some
great experience, and hopefully we learned from this game
and get better from it.”
The ‘Roos (1-1) gave the Wildcats (2-0) their best shot in
the opening half, taking the lead early on, and extending it.

UMKC 69, Missouri 61
Nov. 14, 2014
Columbia, Mo.
Mizzou Arena
(Columbia, Mo.) - UMKC men’s basketball got its first win over a BCS
conference team since 2003, in Kareem Richardson’s second season,
taking out the Missouri Tigers 69-61 behind 26 points from Martez
Harrison.
“I’m not going to sit here and fool anybody,” Head Coach Kareem
Richardson said. “It’s big for our program. But it can’t be the biggest
one for us this year. We have to build on it and look forward to the next
challenge.”
The ‘Roos (1-0) took a 7-5 lead on a Darius Austin jumper with 14:13
on the clock, marking the last lead change of the night. UMKC would lead
the rest of the game, and used that bucket to spark a 14-4 run to go up by
a 19-9 margin.
The ‘Roos tallied five threes in the opening half, including a pair from
freshman Collin Jennings to extend its advantage into the break. The
Tigers were bothered by the UMKC zone defense, and were unable to put
together long enough runs to get a lead. Its closest margin the rest of the
opening half was four with 5:34 left. The ‘Roos answered that with another
run though, and went into the break with a 33-24 lead.
UMKC’s defense proved to be the difference, holding MU to 33
percent in the opening half, while also holding a 23-17 rebound edge
agains the bigger Tigers. Harrison led the ‘Roos with seven at the half,
while offensively the team shot 41 percent.
The second stanza was just a matter of answering every MU run for
the ‘Roos. Harrison was the answer for much of it, scoring 19 of his 26
in the period. Each time the Tigers cut the lead to a single possession,
UMKC reacted well. Perhaps more impressively, the ‘Roos did it without
the services of starters Reese Holliday in the second half due to injury, and
Noah Knight, who didn’t play at all for the same reason.
With just more than 10 minutes left, MU cut the margin to three, but
junior Shayok Shayok hit a jumper in the paint to get it back to five. UMKC
would get that advantage back up to nine with 6:18 left on a three by
freshman Deshon Taylor. The Tigers could only get the margin to within
four the rest of the way, and UMKC hit its free throws down the stretch to
seal it.
The victory was the first over a BCS school since 2003 against Kansas
State, and marked the eight time that UMKC has defeated a BCS team. The
win was also the first ever over Missouri in four tries.
Harrison hit 15-of-16 from the line, while as a team the ‘Roos were
23-of-29 for 79.3 percent. It was the highest free throw percentage in
a game for UMKC in the Richardson era. Harrison’s 15 makes were the
highest for a ‘Roo from the line since 1994 when Tony Dumas hit 18.
The ‘Roos finished the night shooting 37 percent, but held the hosts
to only 38 percent shooting, while taking a 43-38 rebound edge and shot
13 more free throws. Broderick Newbill led the ‘Roos on the glass with
eight on the night, while Frank Williams matched a career-high with seven
boards to go with seven points. Shayok finished with 10 points and seven
rebounds as well.
The ‘Roos, who won their season opener for the first time since 2010,
handed the Tigers their first season debut loss since 2005.

Missouri S&T at UMKC
Nov. 19, 2014
Kansas City, Mo.
Swinney Recreation Center
(Manhattan, Kan.) - The UMKC men’s basketball squad gave Kansas State
all it could handle at Bramlage Coliseum on Monday night, but a second
half run by the Wildcats proved to be the difference in an 83-73 contest.
“I thought our guys really came out and competed tonight,” Head
Coach Kareem Richardson said. “We got some great experience, and
hopefully we learned from this game and get better from it.”
The ‘Roos (1-1) gave the Wildcats (2-0) their best shot in the opening
half, taking the lead early on, and extending it. A Darius Austin put-back
layup at the 14:58 mark gave UMKC a 12-6 lead, and on the defensive end
the ‘Roos forced the Wildcats to take jump shots during the early phases.
Missouri-Kansas City built that advantage thanks to stellar offensive
execution, getting up by a 26-15 margin with 9:49 on the clock thanks
to a three from Broderick Newbill. The Wildcats rallied though, and cut
the margin to only two on a pair of Marcus Foster free throws with 4:17
remaining in the period.
The ‘Cats tied it a few minutes later at 32 all, but UMKC wouldn’t
surrender the lead. The ‘Roos got an old fashioned three-point play from
Thaddeus Smith to answer, and a three from Martez Harrison with 32
seconds left sent the ‘Roos into the half up 40-36.
Both teams shot better than 50 percent in the half, while Foster had a
game-high 10 points at the break. Newbill led the ‘Roos with eight in the
half. Shayok Shayok was a load for the Wildcats to handle, but foul trouble
forced him to the bench early with six points.
The second stanza saw the Wildcats make some changes with getting
Thomas Gipson the ball in isolation more, and ramp up the defensive effort.
“I thought Coach Weber made some adjustments there. He went small
putting four shooters surrounding Gipson, who we all know is a load inside.
They emphasized getting the ball inside early and that got us into more foul
trouble,” Richardson said. “Gipson did a good job on our opposing guys
deep and getting Shayok in foul trouble. All of our big guys were in foul
trouble so I thought they made a good adjustment by going small.”
The foul trouble was especially hurtful to the ‘Roos, as senior captain
and starting forward Reese Holliday sat out due to injury in the game.
Shayok and Smith picked up fouls early, and both had to sit down for
extended periods with four each.
That just opened the door for KSU to put the ball inside more, and
as a result, it went on a run. The ‘Roos moved it to six early in the second
stanza off a Harrison three, but the Wildcats finally got a lead when Foster
hit a three with 16:04 on the clock, 48-46. UMKC kept it to single digits for a
while, but KSU was in the double-bonus at the line by the 10 minute mark.
The free throws moved that lead to 11 at the 9:42 mark, but UMKC had
plenty of fight, cutting it back down to six on a Harrison layup with 6:34
left. It went back to 10, but UMKC again sliced the lead back to six with 2:16
remaining on a dunk from Shayok. The ‘Roos missed their next three shots
though, and a Justin Edwards dunk with 47 seconds left sealed it.
Harrison finished with a team-high 21 points, giving him back-to-back
20-plus point games to start the year. It was the second time he had scored
20 or more in consecutive games. Newbill set a career-high with 11 points,
while Shayok tallied 10 for the second time in as many games. Eleven
different players scored for UMKC in the game as well.
The ‘Roos shot 39 percent in the second half, while KSU hit 68 percent.
The Wildcats also took a 29-22 edge on the glass, and went 8-of-13 from
three. Gipson led KSU with 21 points.
