Charlie Moore scores 18 points as KU upends South Dakota 89-53

Charlie Moore had not shown the ability to score in bunches during his first nine games at Kansas.

That all changed on Tuesday night as the sophomore transfer from Cal hit six threes in nine tries and scored 18 points as the No. 1-ranked Jayhawks beat South Dakota of the Summit League 89-53 at Allen Fieldhouse.

The 5-foot-11 Chicago native, who had three points the first half in helping KU to a 37-27 lead, scored 15 second-half points.

He set a career high in threes, too — his previous best was five, at Cal in a game versus Colorado.
