Peterson's Turnaround: Kansas Jayhawks Ready for NCAA Tournament

0:00A March 18th, the Kansas-J-Hawks men's basketball team is gearing up for their NCAA tournament opener on Friday evening against California Baptist. As the number 4 seed in their region, they're relying on point guard Darren Peterson to lead the charge, even though his recent performances have, been a bit uneven. Recently, head coach Bill Self pushed back against doubts about Peterson's efforts on the court. Self made it clear that the struggles are real and tied to physical challenges. Self highlighted how a tough year with nagging issues has affected Peterson's conditioning and overall rhythm. The constant ups and downs made it hard for him to stay in sync with the team. Those physical setbacks meant Peterson often went into games hoping his body would finally cooperate, but it just didn't pan out as planned. Still, Self believes he's ready to turn things around now. Kansas kicks off their tournament run Friday, and with Peterson finding his footing, they can make some noise in the bracket.
