Kansas Jayhawks Links

Kansas goes on the road without Bill Self and still gets the win.

Melvin Council Jr. scored 10 of his 18 points over the final 5:07 and No. 19 Kansas held off Colorado 75-69 on Tuesday night with assistant coach Jacque Vaughn leading the Jayhawks as Bill Self recovers from a precautionary trip to the hospital.

Since the game was played late, here are the highlights.

It was also the first conference road win for the Jayhawks this season. It may have been against Colorado but it’s good to get that checked off before heading to Manhattan this weekend.

Gary Parrish made the case that staying up late to watch Darryn Peterson would be worth it:

But if there’s any player in college basketball worthy of you going to the Keurig machine a few times after dinner, it’s probably Peterson. After missing nine of Kansas’ first 13 games because of various soft-tissue issues, the 6-foot-5 guard seems to finally be getting comfortable. He’s coming off of his best performance of the season. Against Baylor on Friday, Peterson took 13 shots, made 11 of them and finished with 26 points, three assists and two rebounds in an 80-62 victory. By the time it was done, nobody was questioning any NBA mock draft with Peterson’s name at the top.

The Lady Jayhawks also got a nice road win, beating Arizona 80-69.

Jaliya Davis and S’Mya Nichols combined for 43 points to help the Kansas Jayhawks snap a four-game slide with an 80-69 victory over the Arizona Wildcats Tuesday evening at the McKale Center.
