Florida Gulf Coast (4-2) vs. Kansas City (3-4) – 7:30 PM ET (FloHoops)
Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day features the championship game of the Gulf Coast Showcase between the Eagles of Florida Gulf Coast and the Kansas City Roos. FGCU advanced to this stage with an 82-61 win against Northern Kentucky on Monday and a 67-59 win against Drexel last night. Isaiah Thompson scored 17 of his 27 points in the 2nd half to lead the Eagles over Drexel.
More surprising is Kansas City’s run to the title game; the Roos got off to an inauspicious start to the season with a loss to non-D1 Lincoln 59-56. Since their 1-4 start, they upset Toledo 83-71 in the opening round and then beat Indiana State 63-61 last night. Shemarri Allen missed the second of two free throws with about a second remaining, but his offensive rebound sealed the win for the Roos.
