Last Night in College Basketball: Auburn Won at the Buzzer ... Until it Didn't

Quiets critics with 32 points Peterson finished Tuesday's 104-100 OT win over TCU with 32 points (8-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 13-15 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 32 minutes.

Impact Peterson took quite a bit of heat in Saturday's loss to UCF, as despite scoring 26 points in 23 minutes, he was benched late in the contest and spotted sitting away from the rest of his teammates, leading some to speculate that it was a self-benching to police his own injury/workload. It may never be known whether that was the case, but he certainly did his best to quiet the doubters Tuesday, putting in a new career-high scoring total and playing a season-high in minutes in the narrow victory. As long as he's out on the court, Kansas will look to the five-star freshman as its primary scorer.

Season-high points before benching Peterson (quadriceps) produced 26 points (8-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 23 minutes during Saturday's 81-75 loss to UCF.

Impact Peterson returned to the court in the Jayhawks' conference opener versus the Knights, and he logged a season-high 26 points in the eventual loss. The star freshman also did so across just 23 minutes, as he got shut down in the latter half of the second half and did not return to the contest. This puts the 6-foot-6 guard's status now in jeopardy moving forward, especially in Kansas' upcoming showing on Tuesday against TCU.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Will make return Saturday Peterson (quadriceps) is available for Saturday's game at Central Florida.

Impact Peterson is set to make his return to the court after missing back-to-back games for the Jayhawks. The star freshman guard has also missed nine of the Jayhawks' last 11 games due to hamstring and quad injuries, so his active status will be a welcome designation for Kansas. He's averaging 19.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals across four showings this season.

Won't play Monday Head coach Bill Self said Peterson (quadriceps) is out for Monday's game against Davidson, Shreyas Laddha of The Kansas City Star reports.

Impact Self didn't offer any more information regarding Peterson's health, stating just that the star guard would be inactive Monday. Peterson will have now missed nine of Kansas' past 11 games -- seven due to a hamstring injury and two to the current quad issue. Peterson's next chance to play will come Jan. 3 against UCF.

DECEMBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will be evaluated Sunday Peterson (quadriceps) will undergo evaluations Sundays to see if he can play in Monday's matchup versus Davidson, per Shay Wildeboor of On3.com.

Impact Peterson has missed eight of the last 10 games but should have a chance to make his return Monday. The freshman guard is averaging 19.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals across four outings and should resume his role as the team's starting point guard if he manages to suit up against Davidson.
