Kansas basketball coach Bill Self praised freshman guard Ochai Agbaji in front of the entire team after the Jayhawks’ 77-68 victory over TCU late Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse.
“He just told him how proud he was of him. He said Ochai didn’t play good, he played great. Ochai really came out there and produced and gave us minutes and played exceptional for us,” KU junior forward Dedric Lawson said of Agbaji, a 6-foot-5 Oak Park High graduate who scored seven points on 3-of-5 shooting with four rebounds, two steals, one block and an assist in 25 minutes.
