LUBBOCK, Texas — Kansas guard Darryn Peterson will be the first to tell you that he had a bad game on Monday night at Texas Tech. Or at least he did for the first 38 1/2 minutes at United Supermarkets Arena. “Shots weren’t really going in,” he said. “They guarded me kind of well.

But as Peterson sat out most of the second half, an all-too-familiar sight for ...
Kansas needed every ounce of energy it could possibly muster to take down No. 13 BYU 90-82 on Saturday afternoon. The problem was that it had already expended a great deal of its energy reserves in the first half before a rocking Allen Fieldhouse crowd — as good an atmosphere as head coach Bill Self could remember in the building, he said — on its way to a big halftime lead.
