Both of these schools are 7-3 but the Jayhawks three losses came against schools in the Top 25 at KenPom. Meanwhile NC State's defeats came against teams between No. 30 and No. 57. It's worth noting that Kansas has been without superstar guard Darryn Peterson (20.0 ppg on 54/43/82 shooting splits) for seven games due to a hamstring injury. He returned to the lineup last Sunday without missing a beat in a blowout win against Missouri. With Peterson, center Flory Bidunga (14.7 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 2.5 bpg), and wing Tre White (14.3 ppg, 7.1 rpg, 44.8 3PT%), Kansas has one of the best trios in college hoops. And the Jayhwaks rank eighth in the country in adjusted defense which should help them pull off the upset on the road.
