Peterson and Kansas show their potential as Jayhawks crush previously unbeaten No. 2 Iowa State
January 13, 2026
Kansas has shown what it can do with a healthy Darryn Peterson and a regular rotation. The timing couldn’t have been worse for second-ranked Iowa State. After falling from the AP Top 25 following a second loss in their first three Big 12 games, the Jayhawks roared away from the stunned Cyclones on Tuesday night. Peterson scored 16 points and Tre White led the Jayhawks with 19. It was the kind of performance that college basketball fans are accustomed to seeing from coach Bill Self’s Jayhawks over the years.
