LOSS

The Missouri Kansas City Kangaroos managed just 9 wins against Division-1 opponents this season. But, they did manage a good run late in the season and will head into the postseason as a confident team. The Kangaroos won three of those nine games in three of their last four contests, and did so in resounding fashion, as they out-scored those three opponents by 32 total points, so they didn't get lucky and squeak by. They have been led by a suddenly strong offense that has averaged over 80 ppg in their last four, scoring 80+ in each of the last three. To put that in perspective, they topped the 80 point mark just three other times all season! Idaho is going to be in trouble here because they have not played defense at all down the stretch, allowing 80.3 ppg in  their last seven. The Vandals allowed more than 80 just five times in all their prior games. The Kangaroos have the hot hand on offense, while the Vandals have been giving up way too many easy points. KC has gone for 80+ in both games vs. the Vandals, and it should be the difference in a tight game. Play UMKC to win outright.
