There's a class difference here not fully reflected in this point spread.

UMKC is 16-10. North Dakota is 6-21. Kansas City should be motivated despite the Fighting Hawks' poor record. The Roos had their four-game win streak snapped this past Saturday by Oral Roberts after blowing a 10-point halftime lead. 

The Roos surrender 12 fewer points per game than North Dakota. They also shoot much better from the floor. 

UMKC has covered five of its last six road contests.
