Kansas basketball coach Bill Self wasn’t kidding Wednesday when he said he might alter KU’s starting lineup because of lack of production from bigs Carlton Bragg and Landen Lucas.
Selfdid indeed replace the frontcourt duo with Udoka Azubuike and Lagerald Vick, and the Jayhawks rolled to a 95-57 victory over North Carolina-Asheville on Friday night in Allen Fieldhouse.
Azubuike scored a career-high 17 points on 8-of-9 shooting (seven on dunks), grabbed three rebounds and blocked three shots. Vick tallied 15 points with nine boards, both career highs.
Lucas and Bragg, who again picked up two early fouls in coming off the bench the first time this season, scored six and four points, respectively.
