Kansas vs. Texas Tech Key Player to Watch

Darryn Peterson, G - Kansas Jayhawks

Darryn Peterson has made a massive impact since returning to the lineup. He has scored 16+ points in each game of the Jayhawks' five-game win streak, and he's not shooting 50.6% from the field this season. He has a significant impact on the Jayhawks' offense when he's on the court.

Kansas vs. Texas Tech Prediction and Pick

In today's edition of Daily Dunk, I wrote about why I'm taking the points with Kansas in this spot:

Texas Tech's defense raises some concerns for me. The Red Raiders rank 159th in defensive efficiency, which isn't a good sign for a team that's supposed to be one of the elite teams in the Big 12. That's far below Texas Tech, which ranks 28th in that metric.

One of the most important areas in this game is the Jayhawks' perimeter defense. They rank 13th in the country in opponent three-point field goal percentage, keeping teams to shooting just 29.4% from beyond the arc. That's going to be important against a Texas Tech team that's primarily a 3-point shooting squad.

I'll take the points with Kansas and hope their perimeter defense can keep being one of the best in the country.

Pick: Kansas +4.5 (-115)
