No. 3 Kansas vs. No. 1 Baylor | 2019-20 College Basketball Highlights
Kansas Jayhawks center Udoka Azubuike has himself quite the game with 23 points, a career-high 19 rebounds and three blocks to lead the No. 3 Jayhawks past the No. 1 Baylor Bears 64-61. The Bears were led by guard Jared Butler’s 19 points but it wasn’t enough to push his team to victory as he also missed the game-tying 3-pointer at the buzzer.

Azubuike was unstoppable...
Yes he is
Yeah he was. Using his length and height agsinst those guys.
Who knew this WAS the 2020 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME?!? 😳🤯😐
Oof
Ha
It might as well been.
Take a shot everytime you hear “Azubukie”
Dont kill yourself...just take a shot for every azubukie dunk
This was so fun to watch. Good chance there’s a rematch in the final four
Big 12 championship game
Baylor won't make it to final 4
Did not age well
It could happen because of Covid
This comment made me tear up.....
His stock just went up⬆️
I went to this game and watching Azubuike dunk on all of our best defenders was incredible. This guy is the closest player to Zion in the big 12
Noah Morris if by close you mean they can both dunk a basketball, sure they are close...
You are right about that.
KANSAS City Chiefs won the SB.............KANSAS Jayhawks bout to be ranked #1 in the country. Nice!
Kansas killin it!
It is 50.1 miles from Arrowhead to Allen Fieldhouse. It takes 52 minutes (safely driving) to drive to one another.
@Who Dat agreed. KU sports and KC sports are very connected.
@TheSportsGuru And for many years, the Royals/Chiefs were so bad that KU basketball was the most popular team in Kansas City.
As a Baylor fan it’s hard to be mad about this game. Our second best scorer coming off an injury, our guys shots not falling like they normally do, all the while getting absolutely torn up on the inside and we still hang on. Baylor is for real, Kansas is for real. Going to be a fun March
Agreed, Baylor and Kansas are legit contenders. Baylor could have won this game and as you pointed out they didn't shoot that well. Props to Kansas, they showed up to play and put on a show in the paint.
It wasn't a fun March...
You didn't hang on
Right. Either team could have won this game.
San Antonio SPURS FAN and Texas teams fan but that Azubukie player for Kansas is a beast. Made props to him game.
My city doesn't have an NBA team but I love Pop, think Spurs are a stand up organization. I'm proud of Udoka - he put in so much work to shed weight and become more agile. Even if he's never a big minutes guy, I'd love to see him come off the bench and contribute at the next level. His footwork is deceptively good, played soccer when he was younger
First time I've seen a step back dunk
@2:06
Mamba Mentality
Ud a dominant post man with good foot work... top 5 draft pick possible player of the year
It's sometimes hard to tell if Dok's scores during this game were new ones or replays of dunks earlier.
Big win for Kansas, also a big win forAzubukie
I feel like we have to address that Baylor student in the stands going crazy.
You mean the way they demonstrate that no college kid in the entire state of TX knows a basketball from a pumpkin?
Azbuike is ridiculous
He's so BIG
Bicey that’s what she said
@@samhopkins3610 touche'
@@samhopkins3610 😂
He is bigger then Joel Embiid too!
Udoka had 45 dunks today
@Johann Bewis No. He had 45 dunks
Seems like it LOL.
I come back to this video just to think of what could’ve been in the ncaa tournament:’/ go Jayhawks
I do too. I think this team wins the national championship, but that’s just me.
The game of the season so far in college basketball
Most important game of the season so far
Not even sure this is the best game that Kansas has been in all season. They had an overtime classic against Dayton in Maui Invitational Final. But this was a great game.
Loyal Philly fan better than UNC/DUKE by a mile. UNC isn’t even gonna make the tournament this year
stonecoldku agreed I preferred the Dayton game over Baylor game
@@danthecoasterman22 I like em both. We won both games..lol.
Rock Chalk! 5 time national champs!
God I wish this year wasn't cancelled so unfortunate.. could have been KU's first national title sense 2008.. and I also feel bad for Gonzaga because they have never won a national championship this year could have been that special year for them..
A light has come on in Udokas head. He is now the beast we have been waiting for. Only disappointment in this game was Ochai...he needs to run and get open. He is playing slow and always looking to pass the ball when he gets it. Besides that, great game KU!
I forget which game it was, but Bill Self started McCormick of Dok a few games ago. Since then it seems that he a lot more focused.
Thomas Mack he can’t even pass well when he looks to
I love this new lean version of Udoka
Self knows how to run a high low, but he adjusted it in a genius way. Duke used some similar looks to keep some of those double teams and sagging defenses from clogging Doke up down low
Is #45 on baylor related to donovan Mitchell
I don’t think he is but the resemblance even down to running style is insane
Similar name, wears the same number, looked the same running and playing... got me thinking the same lol
I just looked it up because I thought the same thing! They are not related but the resemblance is uncanny.
How is Azubuike projected to go in the 2nd round on most mock drafts?
I miss this team :(
Azubuike reminds me of the Diesel.
Good game
The 2021 vs the 2022 national champions
So unfortunate that this year was cancelled Kansas had such a good team national title contenders... I also feel bad for Gonzaga they have never won a national championship this year this year also could have been the year they finally got one..
Azubuike is Giannas
Kansas alllllllllll the way they would of one college basketball no cap
Jayhawks played better most of the game, and they deserve that W!!
Baylor only led for 3:17 of the 40 minutes.
@@stonecoldku4161, right. Baylor led for like the beginning of the game in the first half.
Azubuike deserves an NBA draft he is more than College Basketball.
Menziwa ZA yeah is projected to go in the first round
Wow
Rock Chalk
Basically the National championship that year
i miss dok
The color commentator, excellent, not like "It's all about me" Bill Walton.
Bill Walton ruins every game he does.
2 Stanford Cardinal
Azubukie is best player in college basketball
LMAO this is hilarious
I'm not sure about that, but I think he should be in serious contention for Big 12 Player of the Year now. I know Dotson for KU averages more points, but I don't think he has as much of an impact as Dok does. Kansas is a much better team when Dok is on the floor verses when he isn't, because: A) He is a rim protector now, so the guards can put more pressure on the man they're guarding. If the player gets past them then Dok can either erase that by blocking the shot or altering the shot. B) Defenses have to adjust to him. He can score on just about everyone down low one-on-one, so you have to bring help. When that happens one of the guards is now open.
WeShowYou39071319 did you watch this game vs the number 1 team? Azubukie was catching lobs the whole day and he’ll do the same thing in the NBA.
How many dunks did that one guy have? I can't pronounce his name
Just call him Dok. That's what most people do, even Bill Self.
"Az-oo-boo-key
These 2 SQUADS would take the nxt two National Titles......
A little more arc on the shot and they're going to overtime. Great game
Coulda shoulda ain't
A little less staring at the ground dribbling to nowhere, lol. Basically gave away that comeback.
These guys are sooo on an other league than julian newman
Lmfao julian who?man
Random
Peak hoops
just to bad this year was cancelled.
1:24 is one of the softest shot I’ve ever witnessed. Pure.
2:10-2:19.... B E A S T
Azubuike: "Az-oo-bee-kay" Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk: "Svee-uhtz-love Mee-ha-luke"
Marvin Lesley I think you meant to say ANOTHER-ALL-EY-OOP-KAY
It’s prenounced AZ-E-BOO-KY
my kai luk
we
@@Muunk67 My Best friend whose name is the same pronounces it the way I said. Thanks
Azubuike a 20 year old college senior? so he went to College at around 16 years old? should he be eligible to play for Kansas again since he's 2 years younger than the average senior?
Still blows my mind he’s a senior. Seems like just yesterday he was a freshman
@@coreysparks3531 yeah I get what you mean it does seem that way - I think the long injury recoveries made it seem like hes played less than he has. If he had red shirted any of his first four years he could play another, but he'll be heading to the draft from here. Pulling for him!
How many chairs were used as weapons this time?
None, that joke is so old.
@@derekmathews1557 Is it as old as Billys hairpiece? kwho sucks
Draft him Lakers. 😀😀😀 Anthony Davis would never have to play Center.
Azubukie is just Shaquille O’Neal 2.0
The big question is will KU win the NCAA title? My bet is no.
I mean, if we're talking KU v the field then that's a pretty obvious bet for any team lol
@Who Dat yup a lot of people poking fun at early exits or upsets root for teams that don't make it every year...a first round upset beats not being good enough to make the tourney. KU has had a ton of shots with good seeding, and I'm satisfied with 3 Final 4s and a natty under Self. If he can get one more, then I don't see how anyone can hate on his postseason performance. RCJH!
@@krcjayhawks It's all about digging deep. Like the 2012 team. No one expected them to reach the finals and they played a tough game against a dominant Kentucky team.
nope
Ku would have been the biggest #1 seed the last 40 years.
On the right team with a good system, azubuike could be a problem
anyone else get more athletic deandre jordan vibes from azubukie
If you locked both of them up and alone inside a gym overnight and told them they couldn't dunk, they'd both have eight points the next morning.
First the Chiefs and then KU gets it done again 2020
Tim Johnson chiefs are based in Kansas City, Missouri, not Kansas the state
Kobedunksonyou so??
@@kobedunksonyou440 yeah, but most people in northeastern kansas are chiefs and jayhawk fans
@@kobedunksonyou440 Kobe doesnt' dunk on anyone anymore my friend. Have a great night, and stay safe. Rock Chalk
@@timjohnson2186 I hope so too. I hope for a awesome march madness
As a former basketball player, I cringe every time Azubukie brings the ball down. Big man should NEVER bring the ball down, when they’re around the rim. But he’s a good rim protector and has gotten better. Love watching them play. Go KU!
Well LeBron does it and he's 6'6 230+
THE REAPER I don’t think he does. I might be wrong but tag me in a video that show LeBron doing that.
And I’m not talking about dribbling the ball down. I’m talking about when he catches the ball around the rim. He brings it down, which makes it easier for guards to steal the ball. I loved when bigs would bring the ball down. Steal every time.
@@tonishacapri377 Having you watched literally any basketball? LeBron, and most players for that matter, do that all the time. It's a common basketball move.
verde tag yes I watch it. I played basketball in college. Tag me in a video and show me. I was always taught when big guys are under the rim they should never bring the ball down.
Azubukie is better than giannis even no I like giannis
REmember to all the Haters Bu -got more Attention then --Who ? Like Taylor Swift say's Haters will Hate!!!#
Jesus Christ Baylor is the worst free throw shooting team I’ve ever seen. Every time they got to the line it was an automatic miss
Memphis: Hold my shooting form!
They really aren't that bad generally. The pressure got to them this game
You know I never see you on Mizzpuke's Basketball videos why's that?🤔😂 Even I show up on KU football videos
@@jayhawklife65 lmao don't even try. Im a die hard Missouri basketball fan and im emotionally invested as much as any other sport. And don't ever compare Missouris basketball program to the sorry excuse of a football program at Kansas
In fact, every Missouri fan youll ever see likes basketball as much as football, and maybe even more. I bet half the Kansas fans out there don't even know what football is lmao
Where were all these KU fans on here when they lost in Lawrence????LOL!!!!!!!
Probably at Allen Fieldhouse for their 300th consecutive sold out game. Been sold out since 2001. It was great going into Baylor and returning the favor.
Which one of your highest scoring players was injured during this game?
At the game for 300 times in a row. Probably visiting the two best players in the locker room because they played a total of 8 minutes.
@@verde7595 I think we really know why they were visiting the locker room....LOL!!!!!
Well they split both games.
111th comment self off hot seat 🐪🐄🐊
Baylor’s like: We’re the best in all sports in the Big 12 Kansas and Oklahoma: Not so fast
Jacob Crow they are the best in all the sports in big 12 right now. Football was ranked 7, women’s basketball #2, men’s was #1 for 5 weeks, volleyball team was ranked #1 most of the year but ended at #3, men’s baseball was #19, track and field #19. I’d say that’s probably easily the best
Jacob Crow we whopped y’all way worse on your own turf
Women's basketball? Volleyball? Track and field? What are you even talking about?
M S did you not read his post? He clearly said all sports in the big 12. I’m not a genius but I’m quite sure all those I mentioned are considered sports
Bryan Kirkham I would argue that those others are absolutely NOT sports. Just a bunch of weirdos.
Go Kentucky!
Second
Nobody aaked
Neither team is winning the national championship
Russell Westbrook Fan since 2010 who is
The Notorious M.A.C Duke
Russell Westbrook Fan since 2010 duke? KU and Baylor are both easily better than Duke. And didn’t Duke just lose to NC state by like 20? Theo boy reason u guys best KU is because we had our most turnovers KU has ever had. And u still barely won. Duke isn’t that good...
@Tyrone jacobs jr KU and Baylor are better than both of those teams, but I suppose anything can and will happen in March
Tyrone jacobs jr buddy Nobody is as good as these two teams at there best, especially not 15 ranked Nova 😂
