The college basketball conference slate starts now. On January 3rd, the No. 17 Kansas Jayhawks will be traveling to the University of Central Florida to take on the Golden Knights in what will be the beginning of an arduous schedule.
The early portion of the season has largely been positive. With star guard Darryn Peterson being injured and missing out on nine games this season, the burden of filling in Peterson’s scoring shoes has been filled by several different players, the biggest of which was when Melvin Council Jr. notched 36 points in an overtime 77-76 win against NC State earlier this month.
