Udoka Azubuike has been on a rampage lately. The big man shifted into high-gear after being benched by head coach Bill Self for the Jayhawks’ game against Texas on February 4. Kansas basketball would go on to beat the Longhorns 69-58 behind Azubuike’s 17 points and 12 rebounds.
In the month of February, Azubuike is averaging nearly 15 points 13 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game. He’s led the Jayhawks to some of their biggest wins, including a line of 23 points and 19 rebounds on the road against former No. 1 Baylor. Azubuike has also greatly improved in an area where he’s struggled: free throws.
