Say What? Tait’s weekly appearance on Rock Chalk Sports Talk

By Matt Tait Aug 9, 2018

You might’ve seen a recent video floating around that featured Kansas center Udoka Azubuike working on his jump shot.

In it, you see Azubuike knock down a couple of jumpers from around the free throw line before finishing the drill with one of his signature power dunks in a clip that lasts all of 13 seconds and has had Kansas fans going wild about Azubuike’s improvement and potential.

In my latest appearance on Rock Chalk Sports Talk with Nick Schwerdt, we kick things off by talking about that video and Azubuike’s jumper before launching into a bunch of other topics surrounding the 2018-19 Kansas basketball team and the fast-approaching season.
