After a very successful trip to Vegas and the Players Era “Tournament,” Kansas returns to the old barn to host UConn in a marquee non-conference matchup.
Kansas will reportedly be without star freshman Darryn Peterson for a seventh straight game; Peterson is recovering from a hamstring injury. Bill Self noted that Peterson is “very close” and “still not 100 percent. He is day-to-day.”
