Darryn Peterson's camp breaks silence on controversy surrounding Kansas star
- Earlier this month, Darryn Peterson, the Kansas freshman guard, broke his silence and said `Everybody's got an opinion on it` in an ESPN interview between the Arizona and Oklahoma State games.

- Across 16 games, Peterson averages 19.8 points and roughly 27.2 minutes, scoring 32 vs TCU, 26 vs Baylor, and 23 vs Oklahoma State before exiting due to injury.
