KU's Self to stick with Lightfoot as starter | The Kansas City Star

Kansas will open with its new two-big lineup for the second straight game on Saturday at Baylor, coach Bill Self said Thursday.

“I don’t know that the starting lineup had one thing to do with us winning,” Self said of forward Mitch Lightfoot starting in place of guard Lagerald Vick in Tuesday’s 71-64 victory over TCU at Allen Fieldhouse. “But I thought he (Lightfoot) did great and we are not changing. That is certainly the case as of now,” added Self, who before the TCU game deemed Lightfoot-for-Vick a “long-term” decision.

Making his first college start while playing next to 7-footer Udoka Azubuike, 6-foot-8 sophomore Lightfoot scored six points and grabbed four rebounds in 22 minutes.
