Dybantsa Outplayed: Peterson Leads Jayhawks to Victory
1 Feb
Summary
- Peterson scored 18 first-half points before an ankle injury limited him.
- Dybantsa struggled early, finishing with 17 points in the Cougars' loss.
- Saunders led BYU's comeback with a career-high 33 points.

The 1,000th game at Allen Fieldhouse saw Kansas defeat BYU 90-82, largely due to the performance of projected top NBA Draft pick Darryn Peterson. Peterson, recovering from an ankle injury, scored 18 points in the first half, propelling the Jayhawks to a 53-33 lead.
However, Peterson played only four minutes in the second half, limiting his impact. BYU's AJ Dybantsa struggled early but finished with 17 points. Richie Saunders led a fierce BYU comeback attempt with a career-high 33 points, narrowing the deficit to four.
Kansas ultimately secured the win, with Bryson Tiller contributing a career-high 21 points. Peterson remains favored as the No. 1 NBA draft pick over Dybantsa, who is described as a generational 1B option with significant upside.
