Kansas center Udoka Azubuike has made 6 of 12 free throws over the last three games since totally revamping his free-throw shooting form.
“It’s getting better,” Azubuike, a 7-foot sophomore from Nigeria, said of his performance at the line. He was speaking Saturday after making 4 of 7 in an 84-79 loss to Oklahoma State at Allen Fieldhouse. “I’m working on it every day. I shoot a lot of free throws. I feel I’m getting better. I’m taking a step.”
Azubuike’s 1 of 8 performance in a Jan. 23 loss at Oklahoma — one in which he bricked six free throws without a make during crunch time when the Sooners fouled him on purpose —necessitated drastic measures in the practice gym.
