ENCOURAGED: Kansas Jayhawks' Resilience SHINES without Darryn Peterson in Loss to Duke Blue Devils
Episode 1131
Kansas Jayhawks show grit in 78-66 loss to Duke—does this team have what it takes for a deep March run once Darryn Peterson returns? Derek Johnson spotlights Tre White’s aggressive 22-point, 9-rebound performance, Flory Bidunga’s imposing presence in the paint, and Melvin Council’s transition spark. Despite shooting woes and battling foul trouble, the Jayhawks displayed athleticism, improved defense, and flashes of offensive potential that have fans feeling optimistic about the 2025 and 2026 roster core.
Key analysis covers Kansas’ half-court struggles without Peterson, how Bill Self’s squad matched up against Duke’s size, and the impact of questionable officiating. Statistics, game awards, and standout plays—including White’s and-one and Flory’s poster dunk—underscore why fans and host alike remain bullish on KU’s chances. Can Kansas sharpen its perimeter shooting and stay resilient as they eye upcoming clashes with Notre Dame and Syracuse in the Players Era Tournament?
