After a 1-1 start, the UMKC men’s basketball team heads to Bowling Green, Ohio, for three games in the Bill Frack Tournament.

The Kangaroos open at 3 p.m. Saturday against host Bowling Green, 0-2. They’ll face Murray State, 1-1, at 3 p.m. Sunday and Wisconsin-Green Bay, 1-1, at 3 p.m. Monday. All three games will be broadcast on radio, KCTE (99.3 FM), and video streamed on ESPN3.

UMKC is coming off a 68-62 home-opening victory over Drake in which senior guards Martez Harrison and LaVell Boyd combined for 40 points. Harrison scored 22 points, including 7 for 9 shooting and 3 of 5 from three-point range, and Boyd added 18.

Harrison is one assist from tying Quinton Day’s UMKC career record of 377 set during 2004-07.
