Haven’t posted in a few months but I figured I’d add this tidbit for the veteran Roos fans on here. As a current senior at UMKC, I can definitely say that there is a buzz surrounding the basketball team that hasn’t been here since I arrived. It’s not a “we’re excited only because we’re going to win a lot of games” type of buzz, but a “we’re excited because it’s KC Roos basketball” buzz. Maybe it has to do with Covid plaguing on-campus events for most of my college experience, but you can feel it.
To me, I think that’s a true testament to the work Coach Menzies and his staff have done to build relationships and connect with all sorts of different demographics (e.g. past players, current students).
Can’t wait to see this new team in action! I’m trying to keep my expectations tempered because it’s an entirely new team with 11 freshmen, but I will say I’m cautiously optimistic.
