Kansas freshman guard Darryn Peterson followed his 32-minute performance against Cincinnati on Saturday with a 30-minute outing against No. 5-ranked Houston on Monday night. The 6-foot-6, 205-pound native of Canton, Ohio, had no problems regarding the cramping issue that’s plagued him much of his one-and-done season at KU. There was one moment in the game against Houston in which it looked as if Peterson might be affected by the cramping issue. “Good. I’m feeling good,” Peterson said after scoring 14 points on 5-of-14 shooting (2-of-7 from 3) with four rebounds, one assist and two turnovers in the No. 14-ranked Jayhawks’ 69-56 victory over the Cougars. Peterson was asked about a stretch in the second half in which Houston guard Kingston Flemings hit a step back jumper in the paint guarded by Peterson. It cut KU’s lead to 49-39 with 10:54 to play. Peterson came down and drained a 3 on the ensuing possession to make it 52-39. KU men’s basketball head coach Bill Self said something to Peterson after his 3. “It was too loud, I’m not going to lie. I tried to read his lips,” Peterson said of his coach’s orders. “It was probably, ‘Just get back to playing defense.’” Read more about Peterson at the link above. #DarrynPeterson #BillSelf #KUHoops #KUbasketball #basketball
