Bill Self Expects Darryn Peterson to Start KansasBig 12 Opener at UCF

The freshman is practicing at a higher level but remains short of full explosiveness with day-to-day monitoring.

Overview

  • Self said Kansas expects a full roster Saturday at UCF unless something unforeseen occurs.
  • Peterson has missed nine games, including the last two, with a hamstring issue and recurring cramps reducing his burst.
  • In four starts, he has averaged 19.3 points and 3.8 rebounds this season.
  • UCF enters at 11-1 after a strong nonconference run, while No. 17 Kansas is 10-3.
  • Senior guard Melvin Council Jr. said Peterson has looked “amazing” in practice, and if he does not play the next target is Jan. 6 at home against TCU.
