Justin Cross - Out vs. St. John's Cross (undisclosed) is out for Sunday's game against St. John's.

Impact Cross won't be an option for this Round of 32 clash, although to be fair, he wasn't expected to play a big role even if fit. Cross is simply a depth piece in Kansas' frontcourt.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Samis Calderon - Rejoins team Calderon has rejoined the Kansas team after dealing with a personal matter, according to Noah Sacco of KAKE News.

Impact Calderon missed Kansas' opener in the NCAA Tournament, but he'll be an option for Sunday's contest against St. John's. It remains to be seen whether he'll see meaningful minutes, though. After all, Calderon has had a minor role in 2025-26 with 4.1 minutes per game across his 16 appearances.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Darryn Peterson - Alpha performance Peterson contributed 28 points (11-24 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 68-60 victory over California Baptist.

Impact Peterson drained four from downtown and tallied 28 points to lead the Jayhawks as they held off a furious rally by the Lancers. Peterson was the clear alpha on Friday for Kansas, more than doubling the team's next highest scorer, though it wasn't his most efficient performance as he took a season-high 24 shots during the win. The highly-touted freshman has topped 20 points in four of his last six games and is averaging 22.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.5 steals during that stretch.

MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE
