Notebook: Self, Graham both claim responsibility for loss at OU

Self’s decision to leave Azubuike in late and the resulting missed free throws weren’t the only reason Kansas lost, but Bill Self admits it was a bad decision.

Oklahoma reserve Matt Freeman entered the game after the under-4 timeout, and picked up five fouls in under two minutes of gametime.

Self wanted to see if the big man could step up in a big situation, and was thinking Azubuike would make at least half of his free throws.

Graham failing to switch on a screen left Brady Manek wide open for the game-icing three.

Devonte Graham says he shoulders the blame for the loss.

All of this shouldn’t detract from the performance of Trae Young, scoring 26 points on just 9 shots.

Is Billy Preston’s departure to Europe really the continuation of a “worrisome trend” for KU basketball?
