Wichita — Hoping to receive 20 minutes from Udoka Azubuike on Saturday, Kansas coach Bill Self said he thought Azubuike was the team’s most valuable player with the way he provided offense in the post and defended Seton Hall center Angel Delgado in a 83-79 win at Intrust Bank Arena.

“We won the game because of Dok,” Self said. “That kid would’ve had 35 and 34 if Dok didn’t play. I’m really, really thankful and proud of him for his attitude and coming back so quick.”

Advancing to the Sweet 16, Self said he doesn’t want to get caught up in how the team played as long as the Jayhawks continue to win.

“We have to win two more games to get where we want to go but so proud of our kids and certainly nobody can say they haven’t had a great season,” Self said. “Now we have to go make great (turn into) special.”
