Azubuike's availability unclear for No. 1 Kansas' game vs. TCU

Senior center Udoka Azubuike turned an ankle Saturday against Kansas State, and the lingering effects could limit the 7-footer Wednesday when No. 1 Kansas plays host to TCU on Senior Night in Lawrence, Kan.

"He showed some toughness coming back (into the game)," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "But I imagine he'll be fine. Big guys like that, a turned ankle probably affects (them) more than a guard."

Azubuike, who played just 20 minutes but contributed nine rebounds and six points, also has dealt with wrist injuries during his time at Kansas, causing him to miss stretch runs as a freshman and junior.
