Dan Hurley and UConn would be fired up to take revenge and extend their winning streak to 3. Huskies would also have a good chance because of the bad news that has hit Kansas’ faithful.

Bill Self recently provided an update on injured Darryn Peterson.
“Darryn is not going to play tonight. He is very close. He has worked his butt off, but he is still not 100 percent. He is day-to-day,” coach Self said about Darryn Peterson’s availability for crucial clash vs Dan Hurley’s UConn Huskies.
Peterson will now miss his straight 7th game for Kansas this season. He has been dealing with hamstring issues. He has played only 2 games so far. Peterson sat out a loss to Duke at Madison Square Garden in New York and three games last week at the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas.
