Overview
- Kansas erased a 16-point second-half deficit and a nine-point hole in the final 74 seconds to win 104-100 in overtime.
- Darryn Peterson scored a career-high 32 points and hit three free throws with less than two seconds left to force overtime.
- Bill Self said Peterson sat out the extra period because he was cramping, not due to a minutes restriction.
- Melvin Council Jr. finished with 18 points, including nine in overtime, while Tre White had 22 and Flory Bidunga posted 16 points and nine rebounds.
- The victory moved Kansas to 11-4 and 1-1 in the Big 12 after the UCF loss that dropped it to No. 21 in the coaches poll, as workload management for Peterson remains under scrutiny from outside voices.
