For the second time in three home games this season, an opposing player left Allen Fieldhouse asking one key question about KU big man Udoka Azubuike. “Man, what do you all feed him,” East Tennessee State guard Tray Boyd III said Tuesday night after KU’s 75-63 victory. “Goodness.” On Tuesday, Azubuike feasted on a diet of well-timed entry passes, each of which he gobbled up and turned into the ...
