Council may not have started his career as a Jayhawk, but his actions against Missouri amd KSU show he's fully bought in and been converted into a true Jayhawk.

Nice birthday present for me to see KU get a quality road win tonight!

Hilton Magic has nothing on the Phog!!

It sounds like the staff is expecting Peterson to be able to play on Tuesday night.

Rebounding has been atrocious tonight. Someone needs to challenge Flory and Tiller's manhood to get some rebounds. KU has 1 offensive rebound and TCU has 12. No reason TCU should have 18 more FG attempts at this point.

Darryn F'n Peterson

Hate to see a player like Mahomes tear his ACL. Hope he has a a speedy recovery and is ready for the start of next season.

Good performance tonight in a game that KU hasn't always shown up for in the past. Davidson isn't a bad team and KU has made them look pretty bad tonight.

KSU lost by 16 at home to BGSU. Colorado is currently losing at home to Cal Baptist early in the second half.

@approxinfinity said in Darryn Peterson:

@kjayhawks2.0 I’m calling “fan fiction “ on this one.

Kyrie Irving — 11 games → #1 pick
Darius Garland — 5 games → #5 pic

What will cost him millions is if he comes back before he is ready.

The 2026 draft class is way stronger than 2011 or 2019. Kyrie was the only hyped player coming out in 2011 and Garland probably could've been the 2nd pick behind Zion without his meniscus injury at Vandy.

You don't see many projected draft classes that get hyped as competition to 1984, 1996, and 2003 and 2026 is because it has 3 face of the NBA level prospects in Peterson, Dybansta, and Boozer along with several others projected to be potential all star level players.

I've been saying from when his injury happened that this isn't the year to load manage because of how deep this class is. Peterson sitting out doesn't line up with any previous reports about his work ethic and drive. There's a reason why 12 year NBA vet CJ McCollum is on record saying Peterson was NBA ready last season.

That Darryn Peterson kid might end up being a good player.

KU has only committed 3 turnovers so far tonight.

I kept mentioning how we haven't seen the complete DP. He looked at 100% in this game!

Peterson still isn't 100%. His burst and explosiveness still isn't there yet which is why he the projected #1 pick.

Always nice to remind little bro that they're little bro.

KU women are the 16th overall seed in the women's volleyball tournament. They will play High Point on Thursday night in Lawrence and if they win, will host either Miami or Tulsa in the second round. If KU reaches the Sweet 16, they will most likely be playing in Lincoln against #1 overall seed Nebraska who is currently 30-0 on the season. KU is 4-7 on the season against ranked teams so a Sweet 16 is probably as deep as we can expect because they likely aren't beating Nebraska if they get that far.

@kjayhawks2.0 said in Kansas Jayhawks Vs UConn Huskies Game Thread 12/2 8PM CT:

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.

@wissox83 said in Conference Play Discussion:

My study of the conferences is done by looking at ESPN on my computer (easier to do on computer) and click on "Standings". It shows every conference and their records. It also has each teams records against ranked teams. So I start counting ranked wins.

Big12 has 13 ranked wins collectively, with Arizona leading the nation with 5. We've only got 1 while losing 3 against ranked teams, but of course the DP absence factors into that.

The SEC has 9 ranked wins. Vandy is 13-0 but has a super soft schedule.

The Big East only has 5 ranked wins with UCONN securing for of those, so pretty weak otherwise.

ACC has 11 ranked wins, BIG has 15 so I guess they lead in that category, but they all have 2 conference games already so that skews that data a bit.

What's interesting too is that no other conferences have any wins against ranked teams except Gonzaga has 4 ranked wins, but no other team in their conference has done anything. In other words no mid majors or low majors have any big surprises.

Your last paragraph is courtesy of the portal and these low and mid majors not being able to retain those players.

NIL hasn't been awful for football as it's created a bit of parity, but has been absolutely terrible for college basketball.

Where the hell has this defense been the last couple of weeks?

@wissox83 except weve only played 7 guys

Surprised we haven't seen any of Rosario tonight.

Most importantly, hope Bill makes a full recovery from whatever this is.

Who's going to be in charge tomorrow night? Is going to be Case since he's the associate head coach, or does Vaughn get his crack at running the show?
