CHICAGO — If Kansas’ men’s basketball team is to reach the Final Four, the Jayhawks will have to defeat a team that has a former KU player at the lead guard position.
Charlie Moore, a 5-foot-11, 180-pound, 24-year-old Chicago native, who has also played at Cal and DePaul, redshirted at KU during the 2017-18 Final Four season, then played in 35 games, starting one, for KU in 2018-19.
“He’s playing his tail off. I think Charlie may have the best vision of anybody left in the tournament. He sees a lot of things,” KU coach Bill Self said of Moore. He scored seven points on 2-of-8 shooting (with nine assists against three turnovers) while playing 38 minutes in the Hurricanes’ 70-56 win over Iowa State in Friday’s Sweet 16 game at the United Center.
