What to Know

The UMKC Roos and the Denver Pioneers are set to clash at 9:30 p.m. ET on Saturday at Denny Sanford PREMIER Center in a Summit League postseason contest. Denver is crawling into this game hobbled by three consecutive losses, while UMKC will bounce in with six consecutive wins.

Last Sunday, the Roos strolled past the Golden Eagles with points to spare, taking the game 71-54.

Meanwhile, it's hard to win when your three-point shooting is a whole 34.2% worse than the opposition, a fact Denver found out the hard way on Saturday. Their bruising 83-58 defeat to the Tommies might stick with them for a while. The result shouldn't come as a shock considering that's the fewest points Denver has scored all season.

The Roos have been performing well recently as they've won eight of their last ten matchups, which provided a massive bump to their 16-15 record this season. As for the Pioneers, their defeat was their sixth straight on the road, which dropped their record down to 15-16.

UMKC is hoping to beat the odds on Saturday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. They might be worth a quick bet since they're sitting on a four game streak of covering the spread when expected to win.

UMKC strolled past Denver in their previous meeting last Thursday by a score of 84-69. Does UMKC have another victory up their sleeve, or will Denver turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
