UMKC is looking up

We ought to be sympathetic to the plight of our sister "at" school in Kansas City, squeezed as they are between juggernauts Kansas and Missouri. Success has been an elusive thing for the Kangaroos. However, their program is looking better these days. They tied for second in the WAC this past season and, of  course, had that memorable win over Missouri in Columbia. They might take another step forward this year if they could get star point guard Martez Harrison to shoot less or make more three-pointers. He was  by far the leading scorer on the team, but was not very efficient in doing it. He shot 168 attempts from the arc, the most on the team by quite a bit, but made only 28% of them. On the other hand, he shot 238 free throws and made 74.8% of them. Looks like he ought to concentrate on the inside and leave the outside alone.
