No. 25 Kansas five-star Darryn Peterson has shown his ability straight from the jump. After an unofficial debut in an exhibition against Louisville, the world saw his potential: 26 points on a phenomenal 9-15 rate from the field. However, Peterson missed a majority of the second half with cramping. Peterson then missed all of the Jayhawks’ second exhibition, a 71-35 win over Fort Hays State, Kansas head coach Bill Self claimed it was due to a stomach bug.
In Peterson’s first game of the regular season, a 94-51 win over Green Bay, where Peterson scored 22 points on 7-11 shooting, he yet again missed out on a majority of the second half.
