The Runnin' Utes entered Saturday's matchup having lost their last 13 true road games, a streak dating back to January 22, 2025.

Utah won the last head-to-head matchup in a 74-67 final from the Huntsman Center last February.

Kansas came into Saturday's contest less than a week removed from a thrilling 64-61 road win at Texas Tech, extending the Jayhawks' win streak to six games.

Kansas guard and potential No. 1 NBA draft pick, Darryn Peterson, lifted his team to victory with a pair of 3-pointers in the final 1:20 of regulation, including the go-ahead bucket with 44 seconds remaining.

Peterson, who missed several games due to a hamstring injury and dealt with ankle sprains, quad tightness and cramps throughout the season, logged a career-high 35 minutes and finished with 19 points on 5-of-14 shooting against the Red Raiders.

The Jayhawks entered Saturday looking to improve to 8-2 in Big 12 play for the first time since the 2021-22 campaign.

As of Friday, Kansas was No. 4 in the Big 12 in the NET (No. 12 nationally) and on KenPom (No. 11).
