Kansas rolls to 29-point halftime lead, blasts North Dakota State, 82-59

LAWRENCE, Kan. — Kansas men’s basketball will carry a perfect 2-0 record into Tuesday’s Champions Classic showdown between AP top-10 squads in KU and Duke.

Junior forward Jalen Wilson scored 21 points (17 the first half) and grabbed nine rebounds, while freshman guard Gradey Dick contributed 12 points and six boards as the No. 5-ranked Jayhawks followed Monday’s 89-64 season-opening victory over Omaha with an 82-59 victory over North Dakota State on Thursday night at Allen Fieldhouse.

It was KU’s last game before the prestigious one-day Champions Classic doubleheader in Indianapolis. Kentucky will play Michigan State in the first game of the early-season extravaganza.
