Udoka Azubuike’s offensive repertoire in high school consisted of grabbing the basketball in the paint and trying to tear down the rim.
“I really didn’t shoot a lot of hook shots. It was just dunk on everybody,” said Azubuike, Kansas’ 7-foot, 280-pound sophomore center from Delta, Nigeria, and graduate of Potter’s House Christian Academy in Jacksonville, Fla.
“You come to college, you have to learn how to make hook shots with the left, right hand. I’ve been feeling good about that,” the former McDonald’s All-American added of implementing various ways to score.
The powerful Azubuike — who remains a threat to collapse a goal standard at any time — has dunked 13 times and also converted 15 two-point baskets on layups and hook shots entering Friday’s KU-Oakland game, set for a 7 p.
