Utah faces a tough test on Saturday night as they host No. 17 Kansas in a Big 12 showdown. The Utes (13-11, 5-8 Big 12) are looking to end a two-game losing streak, while the Jayhawks (17-7, 8-5 Big 12) aim to maintain their strong defensive play after a 71-59 win over Colorado.

The Kansas Jayhawks are in Salt Lake City for a 9 p.m. Saturday game against the Utah Utes (followed by a game at BYU early next week).

Immediate reaction to Kansas State’s basketball loss in Salt Lake City — and the NCAA Tournament implications.
