Kansas Sticks With Darryn Peterson as Self Lists Freshman, Elmarko Jackson Probable for TCU

Kansas targets a defensive reset following the UCF loss that dropped it to No. 21.

Overview

  • Bill Self said there has been no discussion of shutting down Peterson despite recent cramping and injury management.
  • Self labeled Peterson as probable to face TCU and signaled potential minute management, including lighter first-half usage to preserve late-game impact.
  • Peterson posted a career-high 26 points at UCF, with 23 in the first half, before limited second-half minutes because he did not feel 100 percent.
  • Elmarko Jackson, who dealt with a knee issue in the UCF game, practiced Sunday and is also considered probable for TCU.
  • Kansas sits at 10-4 overall and 0-1 in Big 12 play after the 81-75 loss at UCF, with Self criticizing effort and defensive communication ahead of hosting TCU and then visiting West Virginia.
