The No. 19 Kansas Jayhawks have seen steady improvement all season long. While the Jayhawks lagged to a 3-2 start with questions flying around the future of freshman Darryn Peterson, the Jayhawks were able to gather control of their tempo and win four of their next five, all against teams in the top-63 of the Kenpom.
Off the heels of a narrow 61-56 loss against the No. 5 UConn Huskies and a 20-point 80-60 win over the Missouri Tigers, the Jayhawks have shown their resilience both with Peterson on and off the court.
In Peterson’s return last Sunday, the former five-star saw 17 points, on 6-14 shooting, to go with three rebounds, one assist, and one steal, and while it was probably his worst performance on the young season, Kansas fans were just happy to see him on the court.
