Dybantsa Outplayed: Peterson Leads Jayhawks to Victory

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.

Peterson, born in 2007, is 19 years old, while Dybantsa, also 19, recently celebrated his birthday on January 29, 2026, and reclassified to the 2025 draft class.
