KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Darryn Peterson scored 17 points in his return after a month lost to a hamstring injury, and No. 21 Kansas used a 23-3 run spanning halftime to seize control against Missouri, before the Jayhawks rolled to an 80-60 victory over their bitter rival Sunday.
The potential No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, Peterson had missed the past seven games with the nagging injury. He played 17 minutes in the first half but only six in the second, which Peterson spent much of on the bench getting worked on by the training staff.
Tre White led the Jayhawks (7-3) with 20 points and 13 rebounds. Flory Bidunga added 10 points and 11 boards.
