Can Duke Take Down #1 Michigan? + Is Darryn Peterson Making The Right Decision?
Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss if Darryn Peterson is making the right decision, Duke vs Michigan, Reese's latest song and more.
Darryn Peterson has become a major storyline after a recent performance in which he scored 23 points, including 20 in the first half, in a win for the Kansas Jayhawks men's basketball over Oklahoma State, but then barely played in the second half due to cramping and leg issues. Head coach Bill Self indicated that Peterson asked to come out, which sparked conversation about his availability and durability. This isn’t an isolated situation as Peterson has dealt with hamstring tightness, cramping and illness at different points this season, leading to limited minutes despite elite production when he’s on the floor. Because he’s widely viewed as one of the top prospects in the upcoming NBA draft, any questions about conditioning or health are magnified, especially with March approaching. Does Darryn Peterson care about winning a National Championship? Does he want to play, is he genuinely dealing with injuries or just protecting his draft stock as he prepares for the NBA? Is Peterson making the right decision?
The No. 3 Duke Blue Devils men’s basketball team is set to face the No. 1 Michigan Wolverines in a high-profile non-conference matchup on Saturday, February 20, 2026, at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. Who will win?
