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

By Matt Tait     Jun 27, 2018

With summer workouts now in full swing and fans starting to turn their attention away from the NBA Draft and ahead to the 2018-19 season, Rock Chalk Sports Talk host Nick Schwerdt chose to start his look with the most visible player on the KU roster.

When junior center Udoka Azubuike announced he was returning to school for another season, the Jayhawks’ knew they would be able to retain one of their five starters from last season’s Final Four team and also trot one of their most efficient scorers back onto the floor a few months from now.

But what will that look like? How will he play? And what will Azubuike’s mindset be heading into his third season as a Jayhawk?

We dive into that and more during this week’s segment. Give it a listen below.
