Chapel Hill, N.C. — Friday night’s venture into Chapel Hill was the first ever for the Kansas men’s basketball program. It was also the first-ever official road game for KU’s star guard Darryn Peterson, not to mention four other freshmen the Jayhawks are counting on to play, at minimum, rotational roles as part of their 2025-26 campaign. “We’re going to have a lot of other away games where the ...
The shared history between Kansas and North Carolina may be generations old, but this year both teams are brand new.
