KC Roos drop third straight despite bounce-back game from RayQuawndis Mitchell

Idaho State’s Brock Mackenzie and Miguel Tomley gave Kansas City all it could handle Tuesday night.

The duo combined to score 49 points in a 75-65 win over KC (3-7). The loss is the Roos’ third straight and seventh overall on the season.

RayQuawndis Mitchell tallied a team-high 18 points for Kansas City in the defeat, bouncing back from his last outing in which he scored only five points. Shemarri Allen made all 11 of his free throw attempts and contributed 17 points off the bench.

KC shot 38.6% from the field and struggled from behind the arc, making 2 out of 23 3-point attempts.

Idaho State connected on 58% of its 3-pointers, and Tomley’s 25 points paired with Mackenzie’s 24 were too much. Mackenzie made all seven of his three-point attempts.
