Kansas reserve forward Mitch Lightfoot led the No. 1-ranked Jayhawks in scoring and rebounding at halftime of an 89-53 victory over mid-major South Dakota on Tuesday night at Allen Fieldhouse.
Lightfoot, a 6-foot-8, 225-pound junior from Gilbert, Ariz., scored seven points and contributed five boards in nine minutes as slow-starting KU trudged to a 37-27 lead after 20 minutes.
He had no points, one rebound in five minutes the second half — one in which KU rolled, 52-26.
“I thought Mitch played well the first half,” KU coach Bill Self said after the Jayhawks’ 10th win in as many tries.
