OMAHA, Neb. — Udoka Azubuike’s knee brace served as a reminder he’s not completely healed from a left knee injury he suffered before the Big 12 tournament.
However, the 7-foot, 280-pound Delta, Nigeria-native gave a relatively positive outlook when asked how he was feeling.
“It’s feeling better, way better than I was last week,” Azubuike said. “Yeah, I’m ready.”
Azubuike said he couldn’t put a percentage on how healthy he felt, but he did note things are moving in the right direction.
“Obviously not 100 percent,” he said, “but I’m getting there.”
