Wiggins leads Jayhawks to win in season opener

Andrew Wiggins scored 16 points in his highly anticipated debut, leading No. 5 Kansas to a sluggish 80-63 victory over Louisiana-Monroe in its season opener Friday night.

Andrew White III and Perry Ellis added 12 points each for the youthful Jayhawks, who won't have a whole lot of time for all their newcomers to work out the kinks.

Kansas, which is replacing all five starters from last season, plays No. 4 Duke on Tuesday night in Chicago. Marvin Williams had 19 points and six rebounds for the Warhawks, who sure didn't look like a team that won just four games last season.
