Udoka Azubuike talks about his mom potentially flying to the Final Four

San Antonio — Hopeful for the opportunity to see his mother for the first time in six years at the Final Four this week, Kansas sophomore Udoka Azubuike is trying to contain his emotions.

Kansas Rep. Kevin Yoder wrote on Twitter that Azubuike’s mom was approved for a visa, but coach Bill Self cautioned the school’s staff is still scrambling a little and there may be issues with her flights.

“She’s never seen me play at all,” Azubuike said. “She’s never seen me play basketball. I don’t know. It’s going to be an emotional moment for me. I don’t know how to handle it.”
