Fueled by Trae Young's 26 points and nine assists, the No. 12 Sooners close the game on an 11-2 run to top the No. 5 Jayhawks 85-80. (2:01)

A day after center Udoka Azubuike missed six straight free throws late in a loss at the Oklahoma Sooners, one apparent fan took it upon himself to help the Kansas Jayhawks with their free throw shooting.

According to the Lawrence Journal-World, University of Kansas police were called Wednesday to the dorm that houses the men's basketball team after a man kept showing up to offer "free throw advice" to the Jayhawks.

The man, who was wearing a blue and red windbreaker -- Kansas' colors -- had already left. The Journal-World reported that police had no plans to file a criminal report and didn't say which player or players he was attempting to give free throw tips to.

Kansas guard Malik Newman said Thursday that teammate Lagerald Vick told him that he saw the man outside the Jayhawks' dorm on Wednesday.

"[Vick] told me about it, and I think it's crazy," Newman said. "For a guy to take time out of his day to come all the way down here and want to yell at some young men about some free throws and things like that, it just speaks about the fan base, how much they love us, how much they care."

Kansas coach Bill Self said Thursday, "It was a little strange because it was unsolicited, but it was probably all good intentions."

"I didn't have a reaction [to the news]," Self continued, "because apparently he told everybody that he was coming to see me next. So as long as it's not Freddy Krueger, I'm OK with it."

Azubuike was intentionally fouled four times in the final four minutes of the Jayhawks' 85-80 loss on Tuesday. The 7-footer twice misfired on the front end of a 1-and-1 and then missed four more free throws, which helped the Sooners rally for the win.

After the game, Self said it was a "bad decision" on his part to leave Azubuike in the game, though he added he didn't want to hurt the sophomore's confidence, either.

On Wednesday night, Self said on his weekly radio show that he checked on Azubuike earlier that morning.

"I said, 'Doke, [did the] sun come up today? You OK? ... I kind of put you out there, didn't I?" Self said of the exchange.

"He said, 'No, no, you didn't at all.' I said, 'I put you out there. I apologize for that. But I think you and I should get together and we've got to correct this, don't we?'"
