Kansas basketball coach Bill Self was not particularly interested in discussing Mitch Lightfoot’s career-high four blocks and 15-foot swish from the corner, or Udoka Azubuike’s career-high tying 17 points after Friday night’s 98-64 victory over South Dakota State at Allen Fieldhouse.
Self was preoccupied with the flaws in the games of KU’s two scholarship bigs, who are vitally important to the success of his 15th KU team. The Jayhawks (3-0) are mighty thin up front with freshman forward Billy Preston unavailable as Kansas’ compliance department looks into the financial picture involving the vehicle Preston has been driving on campus.
