Dedric Lawson had 25 points and 11 rebounds, and the Jayhawks dominated inside for a rout of the Huskies in the opening round at Salt Lake City.

Kansas (26-9) shot 56 percent and advanced to Saturday’s second round against fifth-seeded Auburn.

The best shot for the Huskies (23-11) was to make their 3-point tries. They didn’t.

The Colonial Athletic Association champions went 6-for-28 from the arc after finishing the regular season 17th in Division I at 38.6 percent.

With PJ Washington watching from the bench in a cast, Kentucky romped to a victory over NCAA Tournament newcomer Abilene Christian in Jacksonville, Fla.

Keldon Johnson scored 25 points in a huge mismatch that was over by halftime. Kentucky (28-6) shot 60 percent in the opening period, held Abilene Christian to 5-of-26 shooting from the field and went to the locker room with a 39-13 lead.

Fletcher Magee set the Division I career record for 3-pointers, poured in 24 points and led the Terriers over the Pirates in Jacksonville, Fla.

Magee hit seven treys against Seton Hall to help Wofford to its first tournament win in five tries. Wofford also won its 21st consecutive game overall.

Magee now has 509 3-pointers in four seasons, breaking the career mark set by Oakland’s Travis Bader in 2014.

Extending his record might not be easy against second-seeded Kentucky in the Midwest Region on Saturday.
