The Kansas basketball team is riding a four-game winning streak into their matchup against BYU. The ESPN Gameday crew will be broadcasting from Allen Fieldhouse as everyone is anticipating the action between freshmen Darryn Peterson and AJ Dybantsa.
KU beat K-State by 24 on Saturday, despite Peterson missing the game due to an ankle injury. He should be back for the tilt against the Cougars.
Peterson and Dybantsa are two of the most exciting freshmen in the country. Peterson has missed 10 games but is averaging 21.6 while Dybantsa totals 23.6 per game over BYU's 20 contests. This game could be determined by which young star rises to the challenge the best.
The matchup should be one of the most fun to watch of all the games on the Kansas schedule. The atmosphere in the Phig should be electric. This is what college basketball is all about!
