My school is a largely commuter campus in Kansas City, and the basketball team is in the long shadow of nearby KU, which is just 45-60 minutes away. I hadn't been to a basketball game yet this year (I usually only make it to one a year), and now is a good time as any. The UMKC Kangaroos are on a crazy 11-game winning streak with a 9-0 conference record (Mid-Continent), and tonight's game is the first of three back at home. "Home" for the men's basketball team is usually the great Art Deco Municipal Auditorium downtown, 5 or so miles from campus. The team usually gets a crowd of maybe 2,000 on an average night, but the paper this morning said 7,000 tickets had already been sold for tonight's game, and people were already at the box office when it reopened at 5 tonight. There's definitely more energy in the crowd as we wait for the game to start than at any other Roos game I've been to. Should be fun.
