Self says Azubuike 'full speed' entering Clemson game; Jayhawks arrive in Omaha | The Wichita Eagle

Kansas sophomore center Udoka Azubuike remains on schedule to start and play significant minutes in the Jayhawks’ NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 contest against Clemson on Friday night at CenturyLink Center.

“It’s the healthiest, knock on wood, that we’ve been in a long time,” KU coach Bill Self said Wednesday night, addressing the media after the team’s 8:30 p.m. arrival at the Omaha Marriott Downtown.

“Doke is full speed. Now his timing may not be great but his health is good,” Self added of the 7-foot, 280-pounder, who sprained the medial collateral ligament in his left knee March 6.
