No. 7 Kansas obliterates Chaminade 123-72 in Maui Invitational


LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) — Wayne Selden Jr. and Sviatoslav Mykhaliuk both scored 18 points to lead seven Kansas players in double figures and the seventh-ranked Jayhawks cruised past Chaminade 123-72 in the opening round of the Maui Jim Maui Invitational on Monday night.

Devonte Graham had 15 points, Frank Mason III had 14, Landen Lucas had 13 and Hunter Mickelson and Perry Ellis both had 11 for the Jayhawks, who shot 64.4 percent from the field (47 for 73).

Kansas (2-1) will play the winner of the UNLV-UCLA game in the semifinals on Tuesday. The Jayhawks bounced back from a 79-73 loss to then-No. 13 Michigan State last week in the Champions Classic.

Chaminade (0-3), the Division II host school from Honolulu, dropped to 7-85 in the 32 years of the tournament. The only way to an upset was to beat Kansas from the outside and the Silverswords took almost as many 3-point field goals (33) than 2-point shots (36).
