Scrubbing all combinations involving two big men in the Kansas basketball lineup would be almost disingenuous to coach Bill Self, because the strategy contradicts presumed roster strengths.

Senior center Udoka Azubuike is a 7-footer who presents a pressing need to feed underneath, while on pace to record the best shooting percentage in Kansas history. He averages 15.1 points on 79.7 percent shooting, and a team-high 7.6 rebounds.

Yet as the No. 2 Jayhawks (6-1), coming off a championship at the Maui Invitational, prepare for a home game against No. 20 Colorado (7-0) on Saturday, Self knows that two other bigs not only deserve, but demand, looks.
