It’s best against best as the No. 1 team in the country travels to take on the player who may be the No. 1 pick in this summer’s NBA Draft.
Top-ranked Arizona (23-0) visits Darryn Peterson and No. 11 Kansas on Monday night as college basketball inches closer to March with another marquee matchup.
The Jayhawks (18-5) have been playing some of their best basketball of the season lately, picking up key wins against ranked BYU and Texas Tech teams within the last two weeks. While Peterson continues to battle cramping issues, the freshman produces when he’s on the court, leading KU with 20.5 points per game.
On the other side, Brayden Burries has broken out offensively in recent weeks and leads a balanced Wildcats offense at 15.3 points per game. Arizona has seven players averaging between 8.3 and 15.3 points.
The first of two regular-season matchups between these powerhouse programs should be a good one. Here’s everything you need to know to watch.
