Arizona vs. Kansas Key Player to Watch

Darryn Peterson, G - Kansas Jayhawks

The reason the Jayhawks have hit a new level is because of Darryn Peterson returning to their lineup. He played in just four games before the calendar turned to 2026, and since rejoining the lineup, Kansas has been one of the best teams in the country. He's now averaging 20.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game. Kansas can beat any team in the country with Peterson on the court.

Arizona vs. Kansas Prediction and Pick

In today's edition of Daily Dunk, I broke down why I'm taking the points with Kansas at home:

I wouldn't be surprised if Arizona suffers its first loss of the season tonight. This Kansas team is no joke, ranking 56th in effective field goal percentage and 21st in defensive efficiency. Now, they host a Wildcats team whose effective field goal percentage drops by 7% on the road this season.

The most important factor in this game for the Jayhawks is their elite interior defense. The Wildcats have one of the highest two-point shot rates in college basketball, but now they have to face a Kansas team that ranks sixth in opponent two-point field goal percentage, keeping teams to shooting just 44.8% from two-point range. If their interior defense plays well again in this game, the Wildcats are going to have a tough test ahead of them.
