Kansas star freshman Darryn Peterson sat out Tuesday's 61-56 loss to UConn with a lingering hamstring injury, his seventh missed game of the season.
"Darryn is not going to play tonight," coach Bill Self said in a pregame statement. "He is very close. He has worked his butt off, but he is still not 100 percent. He is day-to-day."
Peterson averaged 21.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists in the first two games of the season before missing the rest of the month. He entered the season as the front-runner for the No.
