AOC and Carey led the way against Kansas, followed by Jack White, Tre Jones, and Cassius Stanley. Hurt and Goldwire were kind of a wash while Wendell Moore was way bad in that game.
I agree that Wendell Moore wasn't much of a factor in his first game as a Blue Devil. But when it comes to plus/minus stats, I often think that they often measure a player's teammates or his opponents. I mean, there are nine other players on the court during the intervals measured. I know, the guy with the worst plus-minus seems to be singled out, but often it just works out he was on the court when the other team got hot.
