SAN DIEGO — With four minutes and 18 seconds left in the No. 13-seeded California Baptist v. No. 4 Kansas NCAA men’s tournament game Friday night, Darryn Peterson took his last shot of the night. At the time, the Jayhawks led 66–52.
What happened the rest of the way was another enigmatic chapter in Peterson’s one-and-done season at Kansas. The massive underdog Lancers kept chipping away at a lead that had been as high as 25 points, sending Viejas Arena into a frenzy. Meanwhile, the Jayhawks’ offense stagnated—and Peterson, the most unstoppable offensive player in the nation, stopped getting the ball.
