Azubuike shines inside as Kansas topples Kentucky in low-scoring win
Kansas survived a 65-61 victory over No. 7 Kentucky as Udoka Azubuike delivered a game high five offensive rebounds and four for four on dunks though he shot 5-for-8 from the field and made just three of eight free throws. Coach Bill Self urged more post feeds to the 7-foot center, who logged a career high 34 minutes and cited teammates Devonté Graham Svi Mykhailiuk and Lagerald Vick for setting up his scoring chances while Kansas shot 35 percent.
