Our city, lit up in our colors ๐๐
Thank you to @KansasCity, @UnionStationKC and @ChildrensMercy for lighting up in Roo Blue and Gold for Kansas City's College Team! We're proud to call KC home.
What an awesome Roo Blue Friday! The UMKC community rallied on the @kcstreetcar all the way down to Municipal Auditorium and watched some incredible basketball on our stunning home court. @KCRoosWBB and @KCRoosMBB picked up a pair of wins, giving the crowd a ton to cheer about ๐
Kansas City showed up in a big way for our Roos and we can't wait to see everyone at more games throughout the rest of the season! Roo Up!
