"There isn't a single player in this team I trust to get a basket when we need one. This team is amazing when things are going well, but can't play through difficulty at all. 20 years of Bill Self basketball have vanished in the last two. I just don't get it."

"Still got my fingers crossed that we snap out of it. Our transfers seem to be getting more comfortable even though we look bad as a whole. Hopefully they change into their final form in the tourney."

Kansas' loss at Utah

The Jayhawks have struggled to establish a winning streak. When they visited Utah on Saturday, they were coming off a conference win over Colorado.

However, directly before that win, Kansas fell to unranked Kansas State. Heading into the Utes matchup, Kansas had lost two of its last five, also dropping a contest at Baylor on Feb. 1.

Utah entered the Big 12 battle just above .500 at 13-11, but the Utes outscored the Jayhawks in both halves to pull off the 74-67 win.

“We were awful,” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “They played really well early, and then, of course, we didn’t have any answers for them defensively. And obviously, it was, I mean — people that are listening probably watched it. So, we didn’t do very well. And then we had the game tied and they beat us on every toughness play down the stretch.”

The loss to Utah was yet another disappointment for Kansas, who entered the season at No. 1 and could soon slip out of the AP Top 25 altogether if the team continues to lose to unranked opponents.
