Udoka Azubuike overpowers No. 1 Baylor, leads Kansas to statement win

The most anticipated home game in Baylor basketball history turned against the Bears because of one inconvenient truth.

They did not have an answer for the biggest man on the floor.

Udoka Azubuike, a 7-foot, 270-pound monster of a center, showcased how much he has improved Saturday afternoon during Kansas’ 64-61 road victory. He tallied 23 points, 19 rebounds and three blocks, putting his stamp on a matchup of top-three teams with his ferocity around the rim.

The dominance of Azubuike helped Kansas avenge a previous home loss to Baylor and halt the top-ranked Bears’ 23-game winning streak.
