Darren Peterson scored 26 points in 23 minutes and looked "100% back."

1. KCSN: Kansas Jayhawks News and Analysis focuses on Kansas's 80-62 win over Baylor at Allen Fieldhouse. 2. Nick Springer hosts with Kevin Flaherty, and the live postgame format lets them react to Kansas basketball in real time. 3. The episode asks whether Kansas is "back" after a big home win and a strong response to Baylor's midgame push. 4. Kansas opened fast enough that Scott Drew called a timeout 67 seconds into the game, which the hosts treat as an unusual early signal. 5. Baylor briefly led 37-36, but Kansas answered with a 21-3 run that stretched across the end of the first half and the start of the second. 6. Darren Peterson scored 26 points in 23 minutes, including 20 in the first half, and the hosts said he looked "100% back." 7. Flory Badunga finished with a double-double, 11 rebounds, and five blocks, and the hosts describe him as the story of the game. 8. Kevin Flaherty says Baylor's interior defense and depth made this a favorable matchup for Badunga before tipoff. 9. The hosts note that Kansas kept feeding Badunga, including big-to-big action with Flory and Bryson Tiller and several lob chances. 10. Bryson Tiller drew praise for rebounding, shot-blocking, and a hard drive to the rim that missed but showed the aggressiveness they want. 11. One sequence had Badunga kick a dunk chance out to El Marco Jackson, who knocked down the three, and the hosts use it to show how well the offense was flowing. 12. Nick Springer points out that Kansas only had four turnovers, with two of them coming very late, which helped prevent Baylor from extending the game. 13. Trey White and Melvin Council both shot poorly from the floor, but each still contributed through free throws, steals, assists, rebounds, and ball pressure. 14. Council finished with five assists and one turnover, and the hosts say that kind of distribution helps Peterson carry less of the ball-handling load. 15. El Marco Jackson and Jamari McDowell get labeled as glue guys because they handled the dirty work, hit shots, and added on-ball pressure. 16. The hosts also mention Jaden Dawson getting more run, hitting a three, and trying to earn a steadier bench role alongside the perimeter group. 17. The tone is conversational, immediate, and heavily shaped by live chat comments during a Friday night stream. 18. The structure mixes postgame analysis, audience reactions, sponsor reads, and repeated callbacks to specific possessions from the Baylor game. 19. Kansas basketball fans tracking Peterson, Badunga, and the Big 12 race would get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners looking for polished reporting without live-chat detours may skip it.

As heard by us

A KU win gets treated like evidence, not confetti.
