No. 8 Kansas’ Darryn Peterson should be rested to face Oklahoma State

Kansas coach Bill Self made a lineup decision with his sights set on the No. 8 Jayhawks' game against Oklahoma State on Wednesday in Stillwater, Okla.

In a 74-56 loss on Saturday at then-No. 5 Iowa State, the veteran coach pulled leading scorer Darryn Peterson (19.8 points per game) from the lineup with the Jayhawks (19-6, 9-3 Big 12) chasing a big deficit.

The decision adds to the saga of Peterson, the enigmatic star freshman guard who has battled myriad leg and ankle issues. Kansas handed then-No.
