No. 10 Kansas Jayhawks (18-5 overall, 7-3 Big 12) vs. TCU Horned Frogs (16-7 overall, 4-6 Big 12)Time: 8 p.m. | Location: Allen Fieldhouse, Lawrence, KansasTV: ESPN2 | Radio: IMG Jayhawk Radio NetworkLog on to KUsports.com for our live game blog coverage and follow the KUsports.com staff on Twitter: @KUSports @mctait @TomKeeganLJW @bentonasmith @nightengalejr @chasenscott & @nickkrugKeys for Kansas1. Azubuike the animalWhile Mitch Lightfoot’s addition to KU’s starting lineup was certainly an indictment on the recent play of Lagerald Vick, it also could prove to be a wake-up call for sophomore center Udoka Azubuike.KU coach Bill Self said Azubuike needed to bring more tenacity and fire to the floor, particularly on the glass, and said he put Lightfoot into the lineup in part because it might inspire Azubuike to try to match Lightfoot’s effort.Azubuike has only played more than 30 minutes twice in Big 12 play (34 against Baylor and 32 in Game 1 against Kansas State) and only topped 30 minutes once in non-conference play (34 minutes against Kentucky).In the first meeting with the Horned Frogs, Azubuike played just 13 minutes and finished with 14 points — 10 in the first five minutes of the game — and one rebound while fouling out.
