Kansas Jayhawks Vs UConn Huskies Game Thread 12/2 8PM CT

Anyone know if DP is playing tonight? I get the impression he might go a few minutes... probably not more than a half. I don't think this is the right game to bring him back. Something easier.. less pressure. No worries that him going in really impacts a W or L.
-
I just received information that he is a no go tonight.
-
At this point I think it is best to just assume he is done for the year. That way we are prepared for it and if he does come back it will be a pleasant surprise.
-
Bill Self released a statement saying DP will not go tonight, he is still not a 100% and is considered day to day at this point. @jayhawk_69 I keep hearing he never plays another game here from multiple sources so at this point can we not pay him and just send him on his way? If he doesn’t comeback for conference play and be able to go it ends up being a complete waste of millions.

Absolute worst advice he could get would be to sit out this season. The 2026 draft is projected to be one kfnthe deepest in years and could one day be discussed at the same level of 1984, 1996, and 2003 drafts. Peterson voluntarily sitting out the season would potentially drop him from #1 to outside the top 10 costing him millions of dollars. I feel like this is more the staff and trainers being overly cautious and protective of Peterson because he's potentially the best player Bill Self has ever coached.

@Texas-Hawk-10 oh his draft stock is dipping as we speak and I think having him later in the year is more important. But we seem to be coming together as a team without him. I just wish they were more open on what’s going on. I don’t mean to bag on DP. If his body is letting him down, we can only hope for the best. Plugging in Remi in March worked once maybe we can do it with DP. I would just say that his more so the exception over the rule. I’ll fully admit I’m impatient on the matter. I keep hearing he’s far and away the best player Self has coached. I haven’t seen any evidence of that to this point. Guys like Bmac, Rush, Shady, Wiggins and Embiid were pretty high draft picks and great at this level. I hope at years end DP is alone in that conversation but actions speak more than words.

I'm in finally!
-
Ohhhhh shiiiiiiiit!
-
@BeddieKU23 yussssssss
-
Now let's get a W tonight in the ol barn somehow, minus that freshman again
-
He is not playing but that's just playing with my heart. It will still be a must see. You know coach Hurley will pull out all the stops.
-
We need to change his initials from DP to DNP
-
Wow in all the excitement I forgot about Hurley. Lets kick his Dukey ass!
Lol @jayhawk_69
-
I'm back. Both hamstrings are good to go.
-
@kjayhawks2.0 are any of these sources reliable? Cause only people I hear/see saying that are obviously speculating or just frustrated about him not playing yet.
-
@approxinfinity Dan Hurley was a Seton Hall guy, but let's kick his ass anyway.
-
@DanR
yeah!
-
@MR11 I wouldn’t say reliable at this point
-
Thanks for the re-boot. After many years, I've been able to register and post for the first time in a long time. (Will never know how it was that my account was there, but I could never access it.) Oh, well! I'm back and ready to contribute to the conversation.

I think we can still win tonight with out DP
