KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Nevermind the enormous vacancy Udoka Azubuike left in the middle. That hole didn’t seem nearly so big as the basket must’ve looked to those Kansas shooters.
Using a dazzling barrage of 3-pointers, the Jayhawks shot 72 percent in the second half and shot down West Virginia’s hopes in the Big 12 tournament title game, 81-70, on Saturday night.
“It felt like every shot they put up went in,” said Mountaineers guard Jevon Carter. “No matter what we did on defense, they made tough shots.”
They made 15-of-27 from 3-point range to be precise.
