Overview

  • No. 5 Duke and No. 24 Kansas tip at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN from Madison Square Garden in the Champions Classic.
  • The freshman guard’s hamstring setback sidelines him for a third consecutive contest, as confirmed by Kansas and Bill Self.
  • Through the early season, Peterson had led Kansas in points, rebounds, assists and blocks, magnifying the impact of his absence.
  • Kansas looks to Flory Bidunga and Tre White for offense; Bidunga averages 17.0 points and 7.8 rebounds and anchors a defense posting 7.0 blocks per game.
  • With Peterson out, analysts note a tilt toward Duke, which features Cameron Boozer (about 22.5 points and 10-plus rebounds) and a defense allowing roughly 59 points per game.
