Jayhawks hoping for Azubuike to be 100 percent by Big 12 opener

One hundred percent by Big 12 play. That’s the general goal for Kansas junior Udoka Azubuike, who will be sidelined “indefinitely” because of an ankle sprain suffered during Tuesday’s win over Wofford. Kansas coach Bill Self, who did not see Azubuike on KU’s day off Wednesday, detailed on Thursday his hopes for the KU center’s recovery during the next few weeks. “He is not going to put any ...

Off night and all, Lagerald Vick's outing in Tuesday's win over Wofford was the latest, loudest sign of the senior's maturity

A year ago, what went down with Kansas guard Lagerald Vick on Tuesday night might have created a much different situation for the entire Kansas basketball team. A year ago, Vick might not have reacted as well to Self’s punishment for being late to Tuesday’s shootaround. A year ago, Self might not have been willing to give Vick the benefit of the doubt. A year ago, those eight minutes that Vick sat on the ...

Matt Tait: Biggest job for new Kansas OC Chip Lindsey: Get Pooka the ball

New Kansas offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey has been on the job for barely 48 hours and already extended a scholarship offer to a four-star, dual-threat quarterback from Alabama.

Notebook: KU center Udoka Azubuike out indefinitely with ankle sprain

The collective gasp came at the 11:38 mark of the first half of Tuesday’s 72-47 Kansas victory over Wofford at Allen Fieldhouse. The groan came later when the video board showed the replay. After a simple floater by Wofford’s Nathan Hoover fell through the rim, Kansas junior Udoka Azubuike came down hard on his right ankle and rolled it badly, staying down for several minutes writhing in pain before being ...

No. 2 Kansas uses 27-0 run in second half to cruise past Wofford

Throughout Kansas freshman Quentin Grimes’ mini-slump to open the season, KU coach Bill Self has maintained that Grimes would be just fine. In fact, earlier this week, Self said he thought his five-star freshman just needed to see the ball go through the basket a couple of times to get going again. So what better way to make sure that happens than with a couple of alley-oop finishes? On back-to-back ...
