Against UNC-Asheville, KU basketball head coach Bill Self trotted out a new starting lineup for the Jayhawks: Mason, Graham, Jackson, Vick, and Azubuike. In his postgame remarks, Self announced that they would start again against Long Beach. It was a coming out party for freshman center Udoka Azubuike, who scored 17 points, almost all of which were on dunks. Vick played well too, going for 15 and nine rebounds. This should continue against the 49ers, who don’t have any players above 6’7” averaging more than 12 minutes per game.
Self should run more plays for Carlton Bragg as well.
