Freshman Darryn Peterson scored 21 points in debut as Kansas crushed Green Bay 94-51.

Freshman Darryn Peterson scored 21 points in 22 minutes in his collegiate debut, leading No. 19 Kansas to a 94-51 season-opening win over Green Bay on November 3, 2025. The highly touted prospect, who previously scored 26 points in an exhibition game, showed efficiency with 6-of-10 shooting and two 3-pointers, adding three rebounds, three assists, two steals, and a block. Despite signs of cramps, he was pulled early due to a large halftime lead and concerns over conditioning. Coach Bill Self praised Peterson’s poise and defensive potential, calling him mature beyond his 18 years, while noting his defensive development is ongoing. The Jayhawks prepare for a key matchup against No. 25 North Carolina.
