The Kansas Jayhawks opened the 2023-24 season looking like the nation's top team, routing North Carolina Central 99-56.

 

Kansas shot nearly 70% from the field, and over 50% from behind the three-point line. Transfer Hunter Dickinson had 21 points, only missing one shot on the evening.

 

Kevin McCullar Jr led the team with 22 points, and KJ Adams added 12 points as well. Senior point guard Dajuan Harris facilitated the offense at a high level, finishing with 10 assists.

 

Jayhawks coach Bill Self says he is very pleased with his team's performance in Game 1.

 

KU will have one more home game against Manhattan on Friday, before a massive showdown of blue bloods against Kentucky next week.
