The Jayhawks are currently ranked 17th in the AP Poll Top 25 and travel to Utah to take on a struggling Utes outfit on Saturday night.

Kansas sits at 8-5 in league play while Utah is 5-8, but the Utes are 4-2 in Big 12 games on their home court this season while Kansas is just 3-3 in conference games away from Allen Fieldhouse.
