Kansas vs. UNC Key Player to Watch
- Darryn Peterson, G - Kansas Jayhawks
Darryn Peterson has quickly become a co-favorite to win the Wooden Award after the first game of the season. He put up 21 points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals, and a block against Central Arkansas in their opening game. Can he put up a similar performance against the Tar Heels on Friday night?
Kansas vs. UNC Prediction and Pick
It's hard to gather much information from the opening game of the season, but I'm going to put my faith in the team that has a Wooden Award contender in Darryn Peterson. He had one of the best performances of the week against Central Arkansas and will play a significant role in tonight's game.
The KenPom rankings don't like the Tar Heels as much as the AP Poll does, putting the Tar Heels as the No. 30 team in the country, while Kansas is ranked correctly at No. 19.
Let's back Kansas as a slight underdog in this one.
