LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – Hunter Dickinson was back on the court for No. 1 Kansas on Monday night.

His next game will be a more difficult challenge.

Dickinson missed two exhibition games due to a minor injury. But the 7-foot-2 center returned to the Jayhawks’ lineup in the opener and scored 16 points in an 87-57 win over Howard.

Next up is a matchup with No. 9 North Carolina on Friday night at Allen Fieldhouse.

“It felt really good (to play),” Dickinson said. “Obviously there was some rust from the finish. I might not have been able to play 35 minutes, but I could have played a few more minutes. Luckily I still have a few days until the big game.”

Dickinson went 5 for 8 from the field in 21 minutes. The Associated Press All-American also had six rebounds, three steals and two blocked shots in the preseason.

Dickinson said he was pleased with his defensive performance.

“As a team, we guarded their actions really well,” he said. “We worked a lot on that.”

Kansas coach Bill Self was also pleased, although he couldn’t help but take a friendly dig at Dickinson.

“A guy who lost his rhythm a little bit,” Self said when asked what he saw in Dickinson’s performance. “He was a little out of shape but he had to be out there.

“I thought he did well. He is so selfless. He’s just a good teammate and a good passer. But you could tell he didn’t have any legs yet.”

Dickinson is in his second season at Kansas after transferring from Michigan. He said he felt very at home.

“I feel like a vet now even though I’ve only been here a year,” he said. “I feel like one of the elder statesmen on the team. Every game is special at Allen Fieldhouse. I try not to take it for granted. It is truly a blessing. I’m lucky to be able to play in front of these fans every night.”

North Carolina opened with a 90-76 win over Elon on Monday night. The Tar Heels have an impressive backcourt.

“I think it’s going to be hard guarding their three guards,” Dickinson said. “They have one of the best backcourts in the country.”

But Dickinson felt the Jayhawks should be prepared based on their performance in practice.

“Competing against ourselves will probably be the best (preparation),” he said. “If we are what everyone says we are – the No. 1 team in the country – we should be able to play against each other and make each other better over the next three days.”
