Dajuan Harris Jr. led No. 1 Kansas with 17 points in head coach Bill Self’s 800th career victory, an 84-66 win over UNC Wilmington Tuesday night in Lawrence, Kan.

Hunter Dickinson recorded his third double-double of the season for Kansas (5-0) with 15 points and a game-high 15 rebounds. David Coit came off the bench to score 13 points, one of four Jayhawks with double-digit points in the win.

Self became the fourth-fastest coach to 800 wins, according to Kansas Athletics, in 1,048 games.

Khamari McGriff led the Seahawks (3-1) with 18 points, while Noah Ross finished with 10 points and nine rebounds.

After going up 20 points with 8:00 left, UNCW fought back, scoring 15 of the next 22 points, including hitting 3 of 4 shots from deep to keep Kansas on its toes until the final minutes.

The Jayhawks responded by going on a six-point run that extended the home team’s lead to 18 points with three minutes remaining, halting UNCW’s momentum.

Kansas had a five-point lead at halftime, thanks in part to strong rebounding by the Seahawks, who had nine offensive rebounds in the first half.

Coming out of halftime, the Jayhawks showed increased defensive pressure which led to offensive chances, with UNCW starting the second half missing its first nine shots from the field. Kansas, on the other hand, made 7 of 8 at the start of the half and increased its lead to 17 points.

Overall, the Kansas defense held UNC Wilmington to 33.3 percent shooting in the second half, with nine of its 28 points in the half coming from the free throw line. Kansas outshot UNCW 54.8 percent to 37.5 percent for the game.

Even with Kansas center Dickinson playing tremendously in the paint, UNCW drove into the paint to score, with McGriff leading the Seahawks on 6-of-8 shooting. Donovan Newby, who led UNCW with 22.7 points per game Tuesday, was stifled by the Jayhawks, held to seven points on 2-of-9 shooting and 1-of-6 from beyond the arc.

With 4:52 left in the first half, Kansas lost Flory Bidunga when he rolled his left ankle while playing defense. The freshman needed help off the field and did not return to the game. At the time of his injury, Bidunga was the leading scorer off the bench with six points on 3-of-3 shooting, after starting the day with nine points per game.
