Kansas City Roos vs. Southern Illinois-Edwardsville Cougars

Kansas City Roos vs. Southern Illinois-Edwardsville Cougars at Municipal Auditorium Arena - Kansas City

Before December becomes nothing but obligations, claim a game for yourself. The Kansas City Roos host Southern Illinois-Edwardsville at Municipal Auditorium Arena on Monday, December 21, offering a college basketball break in Christmas week.

Give the home team your holiday Monday. SIUE brings the nonconference opposition, and you can spend the game wanting Kansas City to beat it. Wear the allegiance you care about and enjoy having something to cheer for outside the season's errands. A date with the Roos is a chance to make your own December plans.

For an alumnus or a local supporter, that Kansas City jersey supplies the connection. You want the ball kept alive, the open shot taken and the next defensive possession finished well. There is pleasure in giving a team your attention long enough to get absorbed in those details, rather than catching only the final score.

The Cougars give this outing its competition. SIUE supporters can make the same visit wanting the opposite result, while you back the Roos on their home floor. You don't need a rivalry label to enjoy that disagreement. A team to cheer for and a game before Christmas make a worthwhile Monday invitation. Get Roos–SIUE tickets for December 21 and give yourself a basketball break at Municipal.
