KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Jordan Giles and Brandon McKissic each had 17 points and Isaiah Ross added 14 as UMKC beat Chicago State 76-67 on Thursday night.

After the break, Chicago State made a game of it, shooting a blistering 68 percent. The Cougars opened the half with a 27-6 run to take a five point lead, but an immediate 13-2 UMKC run gave the Kangaroos the lead for good.
