Florida-Duke Showdown Sparks Madness: Can UConn and UNC Upset the Powerhouses Too?
Don’t sleep on the Huskies’ backcourt, either. Juniors Solo Ball and Silas Demary Jr. provide experience and playmaking on the back end. UConn has seven players averaging 20 minutes per game and all of them are upperclassmen. However, five-star recruit Braylon Mullins has been recovering from a preseason injury and got his first game action against Illinois last week. He’s expected to play against Kansas and should get more minutes as the season goes on.Â
Kansas relies a little more on youth, particularly with Player of the Year candidate freshman Darryn Peterson. Peterson scored 21 points against Green Bay and 22 against UNC, but has missed the last six games with a hamstring injury. The Jayhawks ruled Peterson OUT against UConn, leaving their offense in a tough spot.Â
