Self says Udoka Azubuike is ‘ready to go’ after Friday’s practice

Wichita — Limited to three minutes in a 76-60 victory over Penn on Thursday, Kansas basketball coach Bill Self said Udoka Azubuike “looked good” during Friday’s practice ahead of the Jayhawks’ second-round matchup against Seton Hall in the NCAA Tournament.

“We stressed it,” said Self of Azubuike’s knee (MCL sprain). “We threw him lobs. We did a lot of things to make him go get it to get some confidence. He did a good job with that. He’s not 100 percent by any stretch, but I think you can put him out there for 15 minutes or so tomorrow.”

Azubuike could play a big role against Seton Hall senior forward Angel Delgado, a second-team all-Big East selection who has averaged 13.3 points and 11.5 rebounds.
